Lion King tour

In Manchester, does Pride Rock revolve out of the stage or does it come on from the wings?

I saw it in Bristol and it was the latter.

I saw it in Manchester and it is the later. I believe there is a static system build in the stage that tells the rock where to go and is driven by a motor that is in the rock.

I believe every major theatre has this static position system build into their stages. I am very vague on how this works, if anyone knows anymore it would be cool if they like to elaborated, I would be interested to find out how this system works.

Isn't it just on tracks?

it is touring, so it wont be coming up from the stage at any of the venues.

there is a track in the stage that it follows and collapses when it goes off (laterally, not vertically)

question though. are they using the raked upstage for some scenes or has that been cut like it has in the US tour?
