So is this a one way entrance? Do they have to exit at the South Pole? And how did the Captain know how to do this the first time? There may be a hole in the Earth but methinks there is a hole in the plot.
So the Earth spins counterclockwise when viewed from above, the zeppelin is supposed to spiral to the right or clockwise. So the rotations cancel each other out. Somehow though the airship has to transition from “level” on our side of the crust to upside down once it is through the 500 mile tunnel.

Not a palatable trip for Tom “Cruise”.

And I’d spiral 500 miles
And I’d spiral 500 more
Just to be Tarzan who spirals a thousand miles
To fall down at earth’s core

Say, if there’s a giant plot hole like that at the north pole, then why hasn’t all the sea water drained into it?

I’m wondering when they need to compensate for the change in gravity.

When is cabin service? I’d like a beer for the trip.

I was expecting them to land the airship and use a tunneling machine to the center Pellucidar. My bad.

All of this spiraling nonsense makes me dizzy! Why not be a man and just shove it through?
