Salt mine elevator?

So I've seen a few videos online that look exceptionally challenging but I noticed some comments on those videos stating that the mine has a "new modern elevator".

Has anyone been recently? Is it the old gated 2 level elevator still, or is there something that has since replaced it?

I don't think I can handle the old style one so I'm just trying to research as best I can to decide if I should add it to my itinerary.

We recently went there. Are you referring to the elevator for exiting the mine? Yes, it is a modern elevator. It is a long walk from the tour to the elevator.

Yes, I saw they have the elevator for limited mobility people where you dont see the entire site, just what's easily accessible from the elevator. I assume it would be the same one for both trips.

I saw on some of those videos that most of the elevator ride is in darkness. I'm hoping that is also no longer the case?
