Step inside ... or maybe not! Alton Towers road tests its new 'ride' on stunned shoppers

haha, apart from the article being a load, the actual video was truly good.
"Oh the lift is here! Lets go..OH SHI...!"

This caught me out too. Imagine my suprise when the missus DIDN'T fall down the #$%$ when pushed inside.

"not everyday you fall down a lift shaft" yeah just the one time would have done the trick don't you think?

What a sick and twisted joke to play on someone. I love it!!!

Clearly this is not 3D technology but just a picture of a gaping hole stuck to the floor. All very clever but not technology. Now what I'd have liked to have seen would be a life with a glass floor and metal doors under that that fall open mid ride. Now that would scare me.

u can see the reflection on the floor of the red door so tat a give away it a fake .. lol

i am just mad about being directed to an advert, dont think i will use this site for news again

They didn't film the tramp who just waltzed in and went to sleep

The hole should only appear as the lift was going up, creeping across from one side with a loud crashing noise !!!!!

what a load of cobblers, you wouldnt even enter it if you thought it was a real hole never mind stepping round the outside like in the picture.

'Bottomless lift spooks costumers' ? - I see the Yahoo intellectuals have been writing this stuff ! Gawd - Yahoo really needs to get people with IQs higher than their shoe sizes.

Alton towers have stolen this idea from a horror film I saw a few yrs ago. Ive been racking my brains but cant remember its name. The lift scene at the beginning is exactly the same!

lol, if you already think the lift is broken, whey the eff would you try to get on around the edges hahaha :p

Its CUSTOMERS not Costumers....

The first line of the article is just awful
"It's not what you want to see when you enter a lift - no floor"
Something more imaginative maybe?

I would like to see it for myself though :D

now everybody knows its a con your just going to stand there for the photo

will you be able to handle it they ask, well now that we all know its a trick,................yes.

f....k the adverts.............

It reminds me of my work lift which is always breaking down!

Customers should enter a perfectly normal lift only to find there is nothing above the second floor then swung around in a glass box 150 feet above ground . My partner has no fear of nothing but he used to work on demolition and was lifted in a cage (attached to a crane hook) to render a chimney stack 100ft in the air . As a practical joke the lads then swung the crane to hang him over a cliff in a force 9 gale and he said the adrenalin rush was massive . Of course being the nutter he is and wanting to turn the joke around he climbed out of the cage and hung from the bottom of it by his fingers which encouraged the lads to get him down P.D.Q !
