Disney World 20K Ride Links

  • Mary Rolfe's 20K ride virtual tour. The original inspiration for this site! – GO
  • 20Ker Mike Lee's fantastic 20K page from his site Widen Your Word. A top notch account that's much more succinct than my sprawling mess. GO
  • Boz Adams' excellent site 20K.com for all things 20K. This guy is the master. It's too bad the site seems abandoned and several of the main nav links done work. Click the "WDW" link to get to his fine description of the 20K ride. – GO
  • Pat Regan's amazing site, Vulcania Submarine, has an abundance of images and info on 20K sub modeling as well as excellent photo collections of the various 20K rides. Pat built a 18' Nautilus that's a real one man submarine! I can't believe he was passed up for the Nobel Prize. GO
  • 20Kride.com was a Yahoo Pick of the Day! Check it out! GO
  • Jeff Lange DVD has a great series of Disney videos, incuding one on 20K ride! GO

  • Miss M. Turners page chronicling the demolition of the ride from her site Given Eyes to See GO

  • The amazon.com page for the Hallmark Entertainment 20K TV movie. You know, it's so terribly cheesy that I actually enjoyed it. At least it's shot on film. Although it's pretty unforgiveable to swap out the giant squid for a leviathan; especially when you show a giant octopus on the cover! GO

  • A fansite listing all the 20K movies and spin-off books. GO
  • A German fansite with lots of cool foreign 20K movie posters GO

  • The Search for the Giant Squid is an excellent book on all things giant squid by Richard Ellis. Everything from lore to biology to squid modeling: it's in there. Richard himself is a gas, I saw him speak at The Explorers Club in NYC and his talk was terrifically entertaining as well as awe inspiring and educational. GO
  • The PBS Nature site for their special Incredible Suckers. The computer animated giant squid vs. sperm whale fight is pretty good, but still left me unsatisfied. GO

  • The American Museum of Natural History in New York City has a fantastic diorama of a giant squid and sperm whale locked in mortal combat. It's featured in the film "The Squid and the Whale", but the diorama didn't exist till years after the film is supposed to take place. Here's a hot photo I took of it! GO
  • The Museum of Unnatural Mystery is a well researched, yet nicely tongue-in-cheek site about all sorts of extraodinary phenomena. Here's their giant squid page with some great retro styel 3D rendered images. GO
