Elevator Without Bottom, UK

From series “Top 16 Most Exotic Elevators and Lifts in the World”
Not all people look under their feet when they enter the elevator. In London's famous shopping center, Southside, such inattentive people can get a terrible scare. This is because one of the elevators in this shopping center has 'no floor'. Of course, the lack of a floor is just an optical illusion created by the talented painter Andrew Walker.

The three-dimensional drawing applied to the elevator imitates a lack of the floor. The illusion looks incredibly realistic and makes the ordinary elevator a unique attraction. The history of the driving direction is also very interesting. Prior to opening the Sub-Terra Experience Park in Staffordshire, it was decided to explore some of the attractions in other shopping and entertainment centers.

Against all expectation of the manufacturers proved the elevator without floor as a mostly breathtaking and realistic attraction. A ride with this elevator will have a real mutilation test for people who have claustrophobia or fear of darkness and altitude. Since the opening, the unusual elevator has been one of the most attractive features of the London shopping center. Many tourists visit it especially to make the unusual photos in the elevator. From the outside, the elevator looks quite ordinary, making illusion even more unexpected and impressive. Next - SkyView Elevator
