Overview These are images of the buildings inside World Chorus. The walls of the attraction were decorated in yellow, purple, pink and orange, and had handrails to guide people and also avoid them getting too close to the buildings and characters inside, likely to keep illusions and ensure there was no damage. The room was framed to hide the lighting through the use of several orange clouds, which also gave the appearance of a spiral, and the entire room gave the idea of enlarging, as the animation became progressively more and more advanced as the buildings increased in scale and size.
