Flight of Fear

The Flight of Fear building looks like a military installation.  When entering the large queue room, riders are confronted by a huge alien flying saucer.  It may look like a complete flying disk, but it is an optical illusion, as it is only half of a spaceship.  One wall of the waiting queue room is covered with mirrors, so the room appears larger and the flying saucer looks complete.  The line guides riders into the saucer where they are confronted with strange sound effects and alien writing.  Passengers eventually make it to the loading platform seen here.  Thanks to a separate unloading station, only empty trains enter the loading platform.  This loading platform is made up to look like the inside of an alien spaceship complete with tubes containing mannequins which look like captured humans.  This picture shows the trains before the green over-the-shoulder restraints were removed.  Once launched away from this platform, the trains enter a large building that contains nearly all of the coaster's track.  The ride through that large building occurs in almost complete darkness.
