Umm...no. You ride one 2-story elevator car which is the only one in its respective shaft. The reason why the elevator moves back & forth is because the loading area is in the front & the drop shafts are in the back. Therefore, the elevators move backward in the beginning to get into the drop shaft, and then move forward at the end to get out of the drop shaft and back to loading. MGM's Tower is similar, only backwards. There, the elevators move forward through the 5th dimension room into their drop shafts and then move into exit areas elsewhere. Should clear things up.
