Well as usual, Yuku has screwed up my account again, but that aside...

I interviewed one of the creators of this ride for my (now defunct) fanzine, and he never mentioned a shadow of the squid at the end, but then he may have been saving some surprises for folks lucky enough to go so take it for what its worth. Yes the giant squid appears BEFORE Atlantis, because the story is he knocks out your little pod ship and you fall into the depths. Nemo tells you that he is sorry there is no way to help you over the intercom, and then the Atlantis creatures appear and help you to the surface.

If I recall correctly each pod ship can accomidate up to 5 people, and I do not remember there being any kind of  seatbelts or restraining devices. One thing to be aware of though is each window has its own view, and some views are not as good as others. Each window does have it's own separate bits of scenes that are hard or impossible to see from the other windows so each sort of has its own separate show, and means if you want to see everything you need to ride it multiple times.  Somewhere I have a bunch of photos a friend took when he went that I used for the fanzine, I can rummage up some of them to show you the interior of the pods if you like. Over on my art site: www.tigertailart.com there is a cartoon map of the ride I drew for the fanzine (look under "illustrations", then "20k map") to show you the full layout. I drew it from photos and descriptions that one of the main Imagineers on the project kindly shared with me.

Let me know if you need to know anything else, I researched that ride quite thoroughly for my fanzine and know it pretty well though I've never ridden it. I don't get around doombuggies much these days, so probably best if you email me if you still know the address. This is tigertail/Jesse long time no hear   yuku for some reason signed me in as Captain Tigertail, my moniker on the other Chef site.
