The Taipei tower is a horrible piece of architecture, a 100 floor high edifice with the same aesthetic proposition as an illuminated waterfall picture in a cheap take out restaurant. The elevator ride is nevertheless truly impressive and staggeringly fast, as this video of the animated progress indicator within the car shows.

i think the lack of any view in this video qualifies it for dismissal…

You apparently haven’t ridden it. Name a 30mph elevator with a better view. The see-thru scale model up top is also super cool. The thing has a nose cone and a blower to push air around the cab during travel to prevent pressure build up in the shaft ahead.
