    Default Anybody remember?

    Monsanto’s Mighty Microscope, I think that this would be a wonderful ride to put in Wonders of Life pavilion.

    I don't remember it well, but my parents have told me that it absolutely TERRIFIED me when we visited DL for the first time (I was almost four). Apparently I flipped out while we were waiting in line, when I saw the riders who entered ahead of us being "shrunk." I really did not want to be made tiny like them!

    Ah yes... The power of Disney... Hehe..
    I think that's what sets Disney rides apart from the others. Disney always tells a story, and so we come away with a stronger emotional rememberance.

    The attraction name was actually Adventure Thru Inner Space.

    The full soundtrack of the attraction is included on the DL 50th Anniversary CD set. I listened to it last week, and was remembering how simple yet effective was the illusion.

    Truly classic Imagineering.

    And the exit march, "Miracles From Molecules," was one of the Sherman brothers' best.

    I also remember that ride when I was a kid. Both my brother and I thought we actually did shrink when we went into the ride ... Why not, you saw the ride vehicles going through at full size, then in the little glass tube you saw these really small ride vehicles. A simple effect, but worked great for kids.

    It's towards the beginning. After Rex (I think that's his name) sends the Starspeeder down the wrong tunnel and it drops down into the maintenance bay he swerves a little bit to dodge things. If you keep your eyes on the lower right hand corner of the screen you'll see it shortly before he flies out of the building.

    Adventure Thru Inner Space was an attraction at Disneyland that was housed in the building that currently houses Star Tours. It never had an incarnation at WDW.
