Journey to the Past The "Journey to the Past" area included four-dimensional panoramic displays of ancient Egyptian palaces and temples.
Cave of Illusions and Wisdom This ride was constructed to celebrate and honor King Solomon, and included over 70 displays of optical illusions, labyrinths, self tests and other interactive challenges.
Bible Cave The Bible Cave was based on King Solomon's mines, with Bible scenes displayed in niches carved into the walls.
King Solomon's Waterfalls The King Solomon's Waterfalls was a boat ride based on the life of King Solomon. Visitors would sail through seven caves, each marking a chapter in the life of King Solomon, and travel down the falls to the King Solomon lake next to his castle.
