they shut you in for the whole ride! (theres only door handles on the outside)
a moment of zen
close up!

Some bridging shots
As it gets darker, the blue glow in the capsule becomes more noticable

There's still lots of unfinished work around, such as rolls of spare carpet lying around too!

Capsules are enclosed so no kids can fall off hidden holes!

Then you get to scan your card to enter the holding area
