I'd have to think about it more, but I suspect that gravity makes all slinkies "slink" at the same speed. Actually, I take that back, I think momentum comes into play. Anyway, it'd be easier to just change the speed of the escalator. But you're right about the size issue.
I have this feeling that somehow violates some law of conservation, but I can't justify it. So, for now, I think that it'd work.
Does anyone have access to an escalator?
