Many of the Left 4 Dead 2 levels have director determined multi-path.

There seems to be little rhyme or reason as to what path the director will give you. It's determined by what the director thinks will thrill you the most that time through. However, in verses mode, it will give both teams the same route for obvious reasons of fairness.

Just be glad you don't have to do the some boring old route every time.
