Depends on what you consider the front of the elevators; is it the track
side or the road side? The track side of the two elevators is what is open
and facing the crowds. After some initial grumbles from them, they ran
reliably and to great crowd value the entire weekend.
Both are a single-elevator, dual-bin setup, which is about as tight as they
can be packed at minifig scale.
Michel and John are the ones to answer more detailed questions, as they are
the designers and builders of them. The rest of us just say "ooooh".
:)

James
