"Time Elevator" - the attraction of the new Jerusalem. In fact it is just a short movie with special effects, but interesting: for more than thirty minutes before the audience goes trёhtysyacheletnyaya entire history of Jerusalem.

The attraction is located in the Beit Agron - House Agron, named in honor of an Israeli journalist, founder of the newspaper "Palestine Post" (now the "Jerusalem Post") and mayor of Jerusalem Gershon Agron. The building houses offices of the government press, but in a special room - "Time Elevator".

This is an unusual cinema: while watching a movie swinging chair and moving in six directions, the audience fly spray of water (present), wind (this), breaks out the flames (not real). All effects are carefully synchronized with what is happening on the screen to the audience thought they were flying over Jerusalem. However, if the visitor thinks he can immerse yourself in the historical context without having to be constantly shaken, it is necessary to inform in advance - there are a number of fixed seats.

The screenplay is written by historians and archaeologists, tightly packed in bright dramatic footage history of Jerusalem - from King David to the Six Day War in 1967: the construction and destruction of the First and Second Temples, the Roman occupation, the birth of Christianity, the presence of the Byzantines, Crusaders and Muslims in the Holy Land, the creation of the State of Israel. Viewers like falling in the elevator of time in ancient times, where they were waiting for a guide named Shalem - he will lead the audience through the millennia. His role was played by Chaim Topol - Israeli actor, won world fame for his role as Tevye the milkman in the musical based on the works of Sholem Aleichem, "Fiddler on the Roof." Viewers were given headphones with voice acting in several languages, including Russian.

Impressions of attraction among tourists are very different. Many leave unhappy - they say, is expensive, and the effects are designed for children. But children are usually really excited. Perhaps it is necessary to pre-tune tourists that visit the "Time Elevator" most useful to the younger generation. And it is better to reduce the children to excursions to Jerusalem - then they will be more interesting to remember everything about what they have learned in the movies.
