Composed of rubber, the lengthy tentacles are operated by a system of compressed air and interior wires. They reach out at the excited kiddies as they ride by.

  1. It looks a lot like the rubber squid that menaced the divers from the Seaview in “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea” that was released that year. Wonder if this one was sent over from the special effects dept at Fox?
