[edit] Story
Riders travel through mysterious caverns to the earth's core as scientists aboard vehicles designed by Captain Nemo. The ride begins through a cavern of glowing crystals before entering the giant Mushroom Forest, which is inhabited by strange insect and amphibian-like life-forms. Before the car can proceed further, an earthquake causes a cave-in of the tunnel ahead, forcing the car down a side branch filled with giant egg-like sacks. The car emerges on the shore of the Underground Ocean, and is nearly struck by lightning. The finale comes when the riders are forced into the fiery heart of an active volcano, where the riders come face-to-face with the giant lava monster that calls the Center of the Earth it's home, before escaping back to the surface on the wave of an eruption.
[edit] Music
The score of the ride was composed by Buddy Baker (composer).
