Once swallowed, you would travel in the famous DL underground waterways and shoot out with a blast at the backside of water and be scooped out of the drink by the nearest skipper on the jungle cruise.

This ride (with the old fashioned cars) was apart from the Ghost Town area (as were quite a few attractions: Independence Hall, "Jungle Island," the little Knott's lake...) and it was called (drum roll, please) Henry's Auto Livery. They were cool because they were like larger Mr. Toad cars that you actually drove, and there was no middle strip. The only drag was the little loop was so short. In Fiesta Village they had a midget Autopia style ride in which very small kids rode in cars but didn't drive - the cars were on busbars and drove themselves; kids just pretended to steer. In the mid 70's they added an autopia-style ride complete with middle strip in the Roaring 20's Airfield section. So for a while they had all three styles going, but I think Henry's Auto Livery was gone by the late 70's.
