The videos below were created by jamesbwatt and posted with his permission, they show an 100% glitch free piston elevator capable of reaching speeds faster or as fast as that of the now broken boat elevators. It works as follows quoted from the video description:
* Explanation*
When a piston pushes a block into the player, the player will be displaced by the width of the block. When a player is pushed into stairs, they will "walk" up the stairs at the speed of the piston rather than having their legs crushed as you may expect. The pistons are stacked with blocks like so:
PS__BP
PB__SP
PS__BP
P=Piston
S=Stair facing inwards
B=Any block not affected by gravity
and so on so that the player is alternately pushed up the left stair by the right block, then the right stair by the left block. When you connect the redstone in a spiral around the stair portion of the elevator, the timing ends up perfect to push the player up without squishing them too fast.

Jamesbwatt will keep making videos about this so if you have a Youtube account subscribe to his channel, otherwise keep an eye on this topic as I will be posting all his elevator related videos here as they are released.
i have been scanning the redstone forum for a while for something with pistons.. then i find this!
i think most people would like to recreate this in their own world
could you post some blueprints?

Keep watching this thread I will post a tutorial once its been made.

OK, I am no longer sad that they nerfed boat elevators. They have now replaced them with an alternative. The boat elevator had a long life (and got me more than 50000 views on youtube). This is completely awesome.
So, this will now be my method of vertical travel. Now, it needs to be made even more compact (believe me, some people on these forums will miniaturise this thing). I think it may also be possible to make this twice as fast as it currently is. Though, I would hate to see the sate of your legs once you've ridden this.
Nice to know availn. I've made it smaller and reduced the number of sticky pistons needed by half. And replaced them with normal pistons. It still works the same way as well!

You do have quite a fast elevator here, I will admit.
OK I'll edit the the title to focus more on the use of stairs in this design then the elevators speed.
good job.
Thanks for all the replies!
Enjoy!

See my About Me section for info about me.
You have a forum account now? Cool!
P.S. Keep up the good work!

Why do we have a Suggestions section if everyone shoots everyone else down? I suggest renaming it the Flame War section. Pun intended.
It is possible, but you need an extra set of wires to do so.
