How does Indiana Jones work?

[Uncle Mikey]

A couple of friends recently went to Disneyland. They came back with an interesting question. At the beginning of the ride, does the vehicle rotate and switch on to different tracks to go through different doors or do the doors themselves move back and forth and the vehicle remains on a single track?

<font color=navy>It's a single track, and a single door! There are mirrors that move and give the illusion that you're going through one of three doors. There are three different "entrances" and Disneyland uses light and scrim (painted material that becomes transparent when the light is turned on behind it) to create the three different effects.

Of course, if people would just not look into the eyes of Mara no one would go through that whole mess!

When the car first rounds the corner you see three doors and your vehicle will go through one of those doors. This is acomplished by the wall with the three different doors moving into position randomly before your car rounds the corner. Which door you go through will coincide with the scen you see in the next section which is described in the post above. However the last few times I have been on it we have always goen through the same door as if this particular effect is busted!

I always seem to go through the same door as well, the one of the far right. I don't think I've ever been through the one on the left.
