Journey to the Center of the Earth

About Journey to the Center of the Earth

Travel deep within the Earth's core aboard one of many subterranean vehicles designed by Captain Nemo himself. Go deep into crystal caverns, ecounter giant mushroom forests filled with bizzare creatures, see a storm happening in the subterranean sea, and encounter a giant magma monster before shooting out of Mt. Prometheus, plunging into the depths of the volcano, and whipping across the entire caldera.

Readers' Opinions

This is one of the better rides in the park, but it just seemed to come up short when things started to get interesting. The special effects were terrific, and oddly the first half of the ride reminded me of the E.T. ride at Universal Studios. The second half which had the launch up the hill and the subsequent drop could have terrific, but it stopped way too early. This one of the "must ride" attractions in the park, but it doesn't compare to the Indiana Jones ride or Spiderman. - Tim Hillman

By far the most amazing attraction from both outside and inside. Outside you can see how daunting is the main (and the only) drop and how gigantic is the mountain that covers the whole attraction. Inside, you can see the best theme Disney ever done yet. Very cool effects, including the best audio-animatronic I've ever seen yet in the finale. Absolutely one-of-a-kind. Disney should be proud having this ride in their park. - Adriel Tjokrosaputro
