i am planning to do a big dark ride and one of the features i want to include is a giant skull withing the theming of the main building. my problem is, would a ride look better coming out the mouth of the skull in a drop, or have the ride 'turn around' in the skulls mouth, so the riders are overlooking a part of the park, then have the ride drop backwards?

Here are some links to some images that I think would work well with what you are describing.
