We now exit the elevator doors, again Zone 2 marked 'E' in the plans above. We will probably have a maximum of 6 people. The elevator size is slated to be around 5' deep, 6'long and 7'tall. Opening and closing the doors on cue is definitely going to be a challenge! No idea how that's going to happen right now. If you have any thoughts on this, by all means let me know! The problem is while we do have the left sided door accessible by helpers in the area marked 'AC', there is no one in the main entrance hallway 'H' to open the right sided door. Anyway that's what makes it fun, trying to figure things like this out.
OK so exiting the elevator we are now on the crypt level. The moving door to the right (red bar) is now acting as a wall so the original hallway is not seen. The door to the left is slid back so people now see the crypt entrance. Straight ahead is an apparition of a moving ghost. 'G' is the glass that is used to create the ghost image of the actor located in Zone 4 or 'P' (for Pepper's ghost) We used this effect last year and people really liked it so we're ramping it up a bit. See the post from last year here, then check out the video so you can see this in operation in this instructional DVD called 'Ghost Machines' by Jon Hyers right here
Obviously we will need a much larger piece of plate glass. The actor will be standing on a moving platform and will appear to come toward the guests out of nowhere warning them to turn back! Next the crypt door will suddenly open to the left and guests will be directed into the area marked 'M'
