Creative optical illusion at Southside shopping centre in London tricked people into thinking that the floor of the elevator has collapsed.
When the doors opened, scared people were only a step away from falling into a deep elevator shaft. Or at least that is what it seemed…
3D Illusion of a hole in the middle of the elevator was created to prepare the British public for the launch of Alton Towers Resort’s new attraction – Nemesis Sub-Terra.
Terrifying ride will take you underground beneath the theme park into a system of dark and scary caves.

I think the shadows would keep me from freaking out…

Ahh you make a good point!
But I guess it would be fun to pretend.

It only looks bottomless from the outside looking in, still cool.

I’m pretty sure the sensation of not falling might clue me in…

I think it would be better if the elevator’s whole floor surface has a big LCD Monitor (on which people can stand on) and it is attached to a camera (pointing downwards) at the bottom of the elevator’s floor.
Of course, we need a light to illuminate the underside of the elevator for the camera to capture.
Upon the elevator’s up & down movements, the illusion of a bottomless elevator is much more realistic.
===============================
Or just how about, the whole elevator floor is made of clear glass, with illumination underneath.
