Basicly the last frame of the film is connected to a section of black film that is the connected to the first frame, allowing the show to run continuosly. In fact, If they wanted to, they could turn around the show in 30 seconds without even taking the gliders down! The pre show is automaticaly timed such that it ends just as previous group is "landing".
