You don't get the light pattern that is present on a sphere on a flat surface.

...And here's a little known fact:

This rare sphere of marble is actually hollow.  Most spheres such as this one, when cracked open, have yielded treasures of creamy milk.  Depending upon the regions in which they are found, others are filled with tobacco, baby powder, and a strange substance similar to Silly Putty.

Tony Orlando discovered this particular marble sphere while camping and fishing near Hannibal, Missouri.  Returning with a secretive excavation crew, he carefully extracted the sphere from a rock outcropping just out of sight of the river.  Orlando financed a study to to scans of the sphere in attempt to discern the contents of the hollow structure.  When it was found to contain a combination of chicken feathers and hillbilly whiskers, it was decided no one should open it.  Besides, what better place for a hollow sphere filled with chicken feathers and hillbilly whiskers than the Ozarks.

The integrity of the sphere is kept in check by a gentle stream of water - enhanced with microscopic amounts of preservation chemicals.  Visitors to Silver Dollar City often rub their hands against the sphere in an attempt to find flaws in the structure.  There is a hardly-believable legend that the ancient contents will transform to pure silver upon contact with the air.  As no other sphere with feathers and whiskers has ever been discovered, there is no way to dispute their claim without destroying this rare find.

More specificly, the first floor to the right that use to be an extension to the queue. the fence is on a pivot that would allow for an easy change on busy days, it is now filled with boxes on the floor.

Swoosh

Isn't it the stairs landing?  There wouldn't be that much light in the extended queue area.
