Each gondola can carry two people and offers an interactive piloting system making it possible to raise and lower your fish to any desired height. A whale, two dolphins, and a shark placed on the outskirts of the ride shoot water from their mouths at the gondolas as they rotate around the ride. A communication system notifies the passengers via lighted arrows whether they should climb or dive to avoid getting wet. People who fail to follow direction both purposely and by mistake will find themselves on the receiving end of a spray of water.

The park added a new history wall on the building to the west of the ride that features many old pictures and a brief history of the park.
Theme
The ride has a "Jules Verne-sque" aquatic theme and features a large octopus centerpiece that appears to be gripping each of the fish gondolas. The ride is suspended over a pool of water, and a large false-rock structure with two waterfalls sits behind the ride.
