      No you would not land right-side p on the other end. As you’re drawn towards the gravitational center, you’d accelerate, but probably not enough to make it all the way back out the other side. You’d oscillate back and forth (up and down the tunnel), moving a shorter distance each time, until you eventually came to rest at the gravitational center. Think of it like a pendulum swinging back and forth, eventually coming to rest in the center.
