There are a few lion graphics on the wall, but no real 3-dimensional theming elements - This is because the wall and ceiling are just about within touchable distance for the adult rider. If people want to try and stand up during this, that is up to them. We’ve already made the ceiling unnecessarily smooth for these people incase they do. This slight closeness is part of the selling point. I think you definitely lose something if you have to make everything big and far away in a dark ride.
After the spiral we arrive at the 'Lava Basement'. Please forgive the lack of track here; This does not mean this you get out of the car here to be picked up later (although that could be a good idea for later on), it’s just I thought this was going to be a walk-through part when I first made it.
The main Effect here is the Lava Conveyor belt - made from latex. If this effect can be proven it could be pretty cool. The below/next image takes us below floor level to show how it works;
The latex belt is made in a large flat mould and then the detail is painted on using UV reactive latex paint for the lava parts.
Smoke can be used to make it look hot. It would cling to the belt as it rolls forward from the tunnel

Significant theming/effects
Leaving this scene through the arched doorway on the right we find ourselves in a strange corridor;
The mortars a pulsing red and blue light before we reach the end where the structure of the hole corridor twists before "exploding";
Matrix inspired Code rains down on two big back projection screen which sandwich the track. This should create an odd, rising feeling.
