That’s right. In this scene, the ride vehicle is staying still. What actually happens is that the room is moving around you! This just makes you feel like you’re moving backward! But, that’s not all. When the room begins to move, it activates the boulder and it begins to spin so it looks like it is rolling towards you!

We know, we didn’t believe it at first either! This is a unique look into the Disney Magic and makes us wonder what other cool effects are involved in rides like this! Be sure to check back with us at AllEars to find out more cool ride secrets.
