3D Elevator Illusion Shocks London Shoppers

If you saw a warning sign outside an elevator shaft, would you still press the button and wait for the doors to open, or would you take the stairs? In the case of one London elevator, if you did wait, you’d notice that when the doors opened the floor was completely gone, exposing all the inter workings of the elevator shaft below. Would you take the stairs then, or would you take the risk of your life?

People of the Southside Shopping Centre in Wandsworth, London got an unexpected terror when entering the elevator located inside; one that appeared to be bottomless! Artist Andrew Walker worked with amusement park, Alton Towers Resort, to create a demo for their upcoming thrill ride called Nemesis Sub-Terra. The ride will take people on a 3D illusion tour of an underground network of caves. So… what better way is there to test the fear of heights on the general public.

Are you a thrill seeker? Check out the photos and video below to see the reaction of elevator riders who dared to step inside.
