Abstract
An attraction system of an amusement park includes an observation area, a primary area, a primary real object, a reflective component positioned to create a reflection of the primary real object, and a secondary area. The controller is configured to release the primary real object, wherein the reflective component reflects imagery of the primary real object in motion, thereby creating a virtual object that appears to be moving toward a guest within the secondary area.
