The end of the ride takes you underground and you have some airtime right before you go down. After about 3 minutes, the ride is over. You enter the load area, the floor returns, and you wobble off the ride to see your picture. The end of the ride also has a cave area with round aquariums. They're supposed to hold worm-like sea life, but I did not see anything in the aquariums.
Eerie music plays in the background.
You can also wait for your party in this area. With the opening of Islands of Adventure, the roller coaster war began. Space Mountain is no longer the best roller coaster in Orlando. Islands of Adventure took over the top roller coaster spot, with the Incredible Hulk Coaster being the ultimate coaster in Orlando. Kraken trails a little bit behind IOA's coasters.
