Utah-Page 45 Visitors Find Lost World At Kings Dominion Park DOSWELL. Va Approached at dusk, the mountain looms over a remote jungle village, casting other worldly shadows onto the thatched roofs of abandoned bamboo huts. The air is appropriately still, the quiet broken only by occasional sounds of wild animals roaming the jungle just beyond the village walls Like a sleeping giant, the mountain will soon erupt with activity, and the sound of thundering waterfalls will be pierced by shrill cries of surprise as visitors discover The Lost World at Kings Dominion Three years in the making, The Lost World promises to be one of the most popular attractions 2t the sprawling 1.300-acre Virginia theme park, located 75 miles south of Washington, DC, on Interstate 95. More than a new attraction, "Tfie Lost World adds yet another dimension to Kings Dominion," according tc park general manager Dennis Speigel. It's not only the largest ride complex ever built at a seasonal theme park.

It's a unique combination of thrills, fantasy and whimsy that includes something for everyone Scheduled to open when the park begins daily operations on May 26, The Lost World offers three separate adventures, ail contained within the man-made, concrete-and-steel mountain that covers two acres of ground and soars to a 170-foot peak At the base of the mountain, visitors begin at either of three entrances which lead tc distinctly different experiences From one entrance, a dimly lit tunnel winds deep into the heart of the mountain, then ascends and opens onto a swinging bridge across the face of a sheer cliff. Re-entering the mountain, explorers arrive at "The Time Shaft." an innovative thrill ride which could have been contrived by Jules Verne For those who dare, there are a number of sensations to experience inside this spinning drum, where passengers are pressed against the wall as speed is gradually increased to 50 revolutions per minute. At 100 rpm, the floor falls away and riders are held suspended by centrifugal force over what seems to be a bottomless pit, while a dazzling sound and light show fills the cavern above. Next, the visitor may join a "Voyage to Atlantis," aboard flume boats carried by an underground river. Swept along in darkness, the boats pass through fantastic watery scenes to the ruins of an ancient civilization.

Figures appear in a fog. constantly warning of danger, while real and reflected images dance and disappear in a maze of special effects. Eventually, the vessels surface among hanging gardens and temple ruins, only to drift back into the depths. This eerie journey to the fabled lost continent ends abruptly as boats begin to fall off the edge of the earth in total darkness plummeting 40 feet into the flume waters below. The third adventure is a journey to the mythical land of the Doozys.

charming little gnome-like creatures who live beneath the surface of Earth and seem responsible for the workings of practically everything above. Traveling aboard mining cars, visitors are treated to Rube Goldberg-like scenes and schemes innvolving the hidden mechanisms that stir a child imagination and bemuse adults In this whimsical underworld. Doozys are seen pushing up crop, launching stars into the skies and creating assorted natural wonders in their paint department, which produces such phenomena as rainbows and purple mountains, blue grass for Kentucky, red wood and yellow stones for the national parks. The apple-cheeked, bulbous-nosed Doozys who inhabit this fantasy land are the children of H.W. "Hub" Acton, manager of the Kings Dominion creative shop and supervisor of The Lost World project.

"The Doozys were in our original ride concept," he says, "but they were still on the drawing board when we began to discuss other possibilities offered by the underground setting. As we developed "The Time Shaft" and "-Voyage To Atlantis" rides, the mountain just kept growing."

Temple Mount has always acted as a magnet. It has drawn towards it millions of Jewish, Christian and Moslem pilgrims. One of the most sensational discoveries at the start of Prof. Mazar's dig was an inscription carved by one of these pilgrims, who came to Jerusalem in the year 362 A.D., when an effort was being made to rebuild the temple, during the reign and under the patronage of Julian the Apostate. The inscription, on one of the huge ashlar blocks, is from Isaiah 66:14, expressing the feelings of uplift of this unknown traveller from over 1600 years ago: "you shall see, and in your heart shall rejoice; your bones shall flourish like the grass." The most striking discoveries were made by the archaeologists along the Southern Wall.

The main entrance to the Temple and its courts were on this side, through two massive gates, the Double Gate and the Triple Gate, both called the "Huldah Gates" in ancient sources. Along the entire width of the southern side, on top of the flattened Mount, was the royal "-portico" of which an eyewitness, Joseph US Flavius, wrote during the first century A.D., "This portico was more deserving of mention than any under the sun." JERUSALEM The most extensive archaeological excavations In Jerusalem those around the sacred Temple Mount, have ended after over 10 years of work. Prof. Benyamin Mazar, who headed the excavations since they began in 1968, along with his team will now devote many years to studying and documenting the rich finds of the dig along the Western (Walling) and Southern Walls of the Temple Mount. King Solomon built the first temple on Mount Morlah, ago in 958 B.C.

Some 800 years previously, Abraham had prepared to sacrifice Isaac on the same Mount Moriah. The temple was destroyed by the Babylonians In 586 B.C. The second temple was built on the same spot in 515 B.C. King Herod did much to enlarge and embellish it, extending the surface of the mountain into the "-Valley of the Cheesemakers" on the west and the Kidron Valley to the east. For two years, from 20 to 18 B.C., Herod's engineers built massive walls to buttress the expanded area of the Temple Mount.

The Western or "Wailing" Wall, as it stands today, is a 30-meter-wide stretch of that Western Wall. The temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D.

Until the re-unification of Jerusalem in 1967, only five courses of these Herodian blocks were visible at the Western (Wailing) Wall, (the upper part being of much more recent construction). Since then, two more layers have been excavated and there are still another 19 courses of these huge stones below the surface! The complete extent of the Western Wall is visible in only one spot, where the remaining 20 yards of wall have been un edifice, the Dome of the Rock, was constructed on the site in 691 A.D. and stands today. These walls are constructed of tremendous stones, each weighing between 50 and 100 tons each with visible dimensions of six by three feet.
