Does anyone know why the imagineers decided to begin the ride in the basement instead of the lobby? Many of the inital ideas as well as the movie and the rod slering clip have the ride and the people in the lobby..

I'd say to give it a more gloomier feel to the attraction, Also the elvevators are service elevators (I believe that is said in the pre-show) so it is more fitting that they are in a boiler room, a place where you also would find an elevator motor that looks pretty shot as it sparks and makes some not so encouraging noises right before you board to add to the fright. also dunno where they would put the pre-show if you got on in the lobby, it would be kind of odd entering the building in the library first and then entering the lobby. ;)

You do enter the hotel through the lobby, however you are going to use a service elevator because its the only elevator "still in service". The other ones shown in the video are obviously not working. This is way you work your way to the basement.
