Default NCM Skydome updates and pictures

Looks like they are installing a kind of Disney like adventure ride-ish that simulates being in a sink hole cave in. Not kidding. Here are some pictures The yellow cone with the plastic on the doorway I think is the exit into the dome from the ride. You will see some simulated rocks sitting on the floor. Also the entrance to the "ride". They will also have joy stick mounted cameras in the hole so you can see whats left of the under ground cave. One pic is of the service hatch going deep under the floor allowing engineering inspections.

It would be interesting to know what the cost of the repairs were and the cost to build the attraction. I am curious to know the investment.

No kidding. I think the cave in ended up being a huge positive for the NCM. Crazy! Smart move though.
