Indiana Jones Adventure Boulder!

Hey everyone.... Just a quick question... What is the Boulder made of, and how does it stop while rolling?

My cousin had told me it is a hologram sort of thing projected onto the screen, but I can't figure it out, and I don't think its the screen thing... I know its kinda messing with the "Magic" of the park.. but I really wanna know! haha

Search for topics involving indy, theres a few explanations about the boulder along with the door room at the begining

Well, from what I know the boulder never stops rolling, it just stops moving. What I want to know is how close you actually get to it. =P

I thought I remember hearing once that the boulder actually moves closer to you. It stays in the same spot, constantly turning, and the walls around you move, making it look as if the boulder is getting closer. I could be wrong though.

The boulder is always rolling in position. The easiest way to describe it is that it is on a cart that roles a few feet lower, making it look as if the boulder was rolling down. The jeep drops down under it (the steepest part of the ride) and the boulder gets pulled right back up. Also, the jeeps never role backward, its just the walls moving forward, but I think most people know that. I think I have that mostly right. I was stuck on Inday once right at the boulder with the lights on so we got to see the boulder go back and fourth, rolling continuously.

I thought it was always something like a motor pulling a string back and then letting it go slowly. As seen in my crude drawing.
