My grandmother worked at the Disney Hotel in an era when they gave free tickets to employees very generously. She would pick me up from school every day and put me on the Monorail and then go back to work at the hotel and the park became my babysitter for 6 years. I rode this ride more times than I could ever count- like hundreds of times, from 6-12 years old and you captured it perfectly in every detail right down to the rain lamp display at the very end! I was really mourning the loss of this ride and now I don't have to. Thank you so much!
That is just UNFATHOMABLY COOL and NO FAIR!!! 😉💕 Seriously, though. How many kids get to go to Disneyland EVERY DAY!!!? I'm in my 50's now and STILL can't sleep the night before Disneyland. I can remember as a kid just daydreaming about this ride all the time, and how my brothers and sisters would lay in the dark talking about this ride for hours until we fell asleep- and then it was time to get up & go!!! I really do miss this ride and I loved your post.🤗💕❄
A very accurate CGI rendition of what the real ride was all about back in the 1960's. I was looking at other films that tried to capture the real ride, but this CGI really helps you see what it was really about to ride it. I really enjoyed this. It was a really cool ride to go on over and over some 50 years ago.
Lee Ryder It did officially close in 1985. Wikipedia has it covered for anyone who is interested. Here is the link. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_Thru_Inner_Space
Wow! I rode this ride several times throughout the years and this is exactly how the ride was. Just amazing that it was captured so perfectly in animation. Too bad Monsanto will probably kill us all.
Lee Ryder Monsanto is not out to kill us. They are out to get rich, but it's their wanting to get rich that will most likely kill us off.....again. Just look at all the disasters they have caused in the past.
I don't sense a conspiracy here. It is a fact that large corporations care only about profits at any cost: that is how they survive. Hopefully we will find a way to stop planetary destruction from being profitable before it kills us, but the odds are not in our favor at present. Just facts.
@@princezzpuffypants6287 Large corporations legally have to care only about profits. It's how we vote that can change that, both with ballots and with dollars.
When a corporation craves and gains virtually unlimited profits, the motivation changes, the crave is no longer more profits, it is power and control over other peoples profits and lives which includes the control over life or death. Profitable does not equal moral and beneficial. Like the song says "...a never ending search is on, by men who dare and plan" To assume that all these daring men plan and conspire to improve everyone's life is just as naive as assuming there could never be conspiracies to do the opposite. They dont all think like you. Judge a tree by its fruit.
Very impressive reproduction. That must have been a lot of work. You captured certain nuances that I distinctly remember especially the way the Omnimovers jerked around in certain places. As a kid, that was one of my favorite things. My mother and sister despised this ride but it was my Dad' favorite attraction in the whole park. I thought it was pretty great too. I have fond memories of our riding this together. The eye through the microscope at the end always amazed me. Thank for bringing this back into the world.
Robert J. Holtz When it first opened they were still using ticket books but the Inner Space ride was free, so we'd go on it repeatedly. Even so it was a great ride, and that was two years before the Haunted Mansion opened so it was the only ride in Anaheim that had the Omnimover vehicles at that time. I thought it was a crime they dismantled it, my favorite thing in the park.
Totally. The way the Omnimovers jerk back and forth is spot on. Also the way the nucleus of the atom is revealed and how you could see how flashing nucleus was attached to the wall by a rod.
The back-and-forth at the beginning is to cover the sensation of making a sharp left turn instead going straight through the Mighty Microscope. There was too much light in the queue area and you could usually see the buggies turning left as you entered the tunnel.
This is an awesome simulation. I remember riding this as a child. Thanks for allowing me to take one more spin :). Brought back so many memories. My mother screaming when the big eyeball appeared and my father laughing his head off and my eyes being big as saucers thinking it was so cool that we had actually shrunk and that Disneyland is amazing. Yep, that was a good time :)
I was 3 years old in 1971, and I was terrified to go on this ride. I screamed and cried after seeing the big cars go into the microscope and see the little ones in the glass cylinder... I never did go on it until I was 12 in 1980...
Thank you, Steve Wesson for making this simulated version of a ride that went extinct before I was born, but have been interested nonetheless in ever since I first heard about it. If I invented a time machine, I'd use it to go back and ride this in real life.
I have ridden the actual ride back when I was a child and I can say that he did an uncanny job of recreating the ride exactly as it was including the people mover that passed through the attraction. There are so many good rides at Disney that are gone forever. The submarine voyage was my favorite.
Great job, Steve Wesson! Outstanding work! As a side note, up until 1982, most every attraction at Disneyland (and eventually Disney World) required a ticket. "A" tickets were the cheapest, "E" tickets the most expensive. "Adventure Thru Inner Space" (as well as "Great Moments with Mr Lincoln") were FREE attractions - they didn't require a ticket. Which made it very popular. That, and the fact that there was rarely if ever a line! Those ride vehicles, also used on the Haunted Mansion, were great. Adventure Thru Inner Space lasted from 1967 - 1985. Thanks for posting this.
Omg! Thank you! This was the most awesome ride when I was a kid. I can't believe someone captured it before it was gone. Thank you for this slice of time!
I remember riding on this attraction as a kid and the level of detail here is incredible! From the texture of the large snowflakes (complete with sparkles) to the moving stripes on the 3 h2o molecules, to the rod holding the nucleus (which was never intended to be seen) that projected to the rear and down, to the stickers on the cars, every detail is exactly as I recall it to be. How in the world did you manage to recreate such detail? This is a true labor of love and an incredible accomplishment. I sincerely thank you for taking the time to do this and preserve something that is unfortunately lost to time.
Great and accurate rendition of what it looked like. One thing that was missing was the TINY PEOPLE in the cars as seen in the giant shrinking ray 'gun' aimed at the snowflakes at the beginning of the ride. I always marveled at the tiny people in the seats as a kid and always stared at the people loading on to the ride while I was waiting in line to see if I could recognize people's clothing from their real life size to their miniaturized size. HAHAHA. It was a nice illusion and fooled me totally as a kid!
This ride needs to be re-created somewhere by some eccentric billionaire. Most of the blueprints still exist and the area needed is just a few thousand square feet. I would love to ride this again before I die.
I feel you mark. So many great memories of a simpler time as children. I saw it in the early 80s before they removed it. Rode it all the time too. Also rode the people mover and It's a Small World all the time. Great on hot summer days. Longest rides.
I'm glad you did this. I wasn't able to ride because I wasn't even born yet and the ride closed in the 1990s. I tried looking for good videos, but the quality wasn't good and some of them weren't even ride videos. Since people say that this video is amazingly accurate, I thank you for uploading this really good CGI version of Adventures Thru Inner Space!
My god, this is absolutely astounding! Thank you for your incredible efforts, Mr. Wesson. How in the world was such meticulous detail achieved?! Now that i'm an adult living in the 21st century i take a decidedly different view of Monsanto -and Disney for that matter- but despite that i maintain wonderful memories of this ride and my visits to the Magic Kingdom which were like religious experiences to me. Thank you again for recreating some of that wonder for us!. All the best to you.
I remember seeing this ride when I was a child, but I didn't want to go on it because I was scared of the shrinking cars going through the microscope from seeing it in the distance. After watching this, the 5 year old me definitely would have been scared on this ride. lol
This is a really well done virtual ride-thru! I remember the ride very well and this captures it with amazing accuracy. Thanks for bringing back this genuine Disneyland classic!
I remember going on this ride several times, back in the day. Paul Frees was the narrator, and I knew his distinctive voice from many sci-fi movies made at the time. What a thrill it is to experience this ride again now in its virtual form. Thank you so much for making this available!
That was epic, you deserve an academy award for that! I loved this ride from Disneyland growing up and that was pretty much, spot on of what I do remember of the ride. To see and hear and to experience the ride again was a joy!
I was a kid in the early-mid '70s, and lived close to Disneyland. I got to ride this "ride" many times. This ride, and, Star Trek: TOS reruns, gave me my love for science. Thank you for this!
After the completion of Star Wars Land at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA, I hope Star Tours from Tomorrowland could be abandoned and replace it with a new ride that is associated with space.
I have the DVD, and I'm only too happy to click now that I've encountered this video on UA-cam. In addition to the ride-thru, I love the winding queue, the glimpses of the Peoplemover, the Monsanto promotional materials, and the Mary Blair mural. Excellent work, Mr. Wesson!
There’s something eerie and creepy about the ride. The music and haunting narration freaks me out but I love it. Thank you so much for giving us youngsters the ability to experience this ride!
He used to sell this on DVD I don't know if he still does but I have it and treasure it as my only memory of this ride was being frightened by watching my familly get shrunk in the Mighty Microscope while I waited with my dad and the exit.
One reason Adventure Thru Inner Space so was popular (and repeatable) was that it was one of the only “free” attractions, meaning it didn’t require a ticket to ride, as it was sponsored by Monsanto. Once Disneyland went to a ticketless system in 1982, it’s days we’re numbered
Moved to Irvine Ca from Jacksonville Fl at the age of 8 in 1980. Enjoyed this ride that would one day become Star Tours many times. Outstanding representation here.
Sir, I cannot express the joy and nostalgia that you have brought to us old-timers (and probably many new-timers). My favorite attraction of my youth brought back to ride again. For those who never got to ride ATIS, this is EXACTLY what it was like. Steve has done a marvelous job of recreating the scope, the visuals of the ride (and the original soundtrack is awesome). He has even captured the campiness of the post-adventure lobby. What a treat! I have, and will continue to, watch it many times.
I would like to thank the creator or creators of this virtual simulation of one of Disney Land's classic rides. Thank you for preserving it here forever so its never forgotten and we can continue to experience it though its no longer in service. I rode this with my parents way back in the early 60s. I never forgot it.
Rode on this with my mother in 1970, and we always wondered who "Monsanto Voice" was. The narrator is African-American character actor Will Kuluva, who also starred in The Twilight Zone's "The New Exhibit" and an Alfred Hitchcock Presents" episode. The ride made us believe that this was a glimpse in to the future that I would grow up in ... ha ha! But it was a lot of fun and I miss being able to see these things.
I refused to get on, because what if they can't bring me back to normal? Heck, the rocket ride to Mars didn't work right (we never even landed) so why would Inner Space work properly?
Thanks a lot for this. I've heard about this ride so much and have always been curious what it was actually like. Great to do a virtual tour at any rate.
Great job recreating this ride. It brought back fond memories when I used to ride this with my dad when I was small. Today's generation don't know what they're missing. Sigh...
To whom ever created this reproduction of this attraction thank you your reproduction is uncanny. My uncle worked on the construction of this attraction in 1966 at Disneyland. The only thing I did not notice is when you exit the attraction at the end of the ride the netting that surounded the snow flakes originally dripped oil down the synthetic chords. Like the dripping oil lamps that were so popular in the 60's thanks for creating this wonderful visual for me and my family.
THANK YOU for this amazing recreating of this great ride - I rode "Adventure Thru Inner Space" as a young kid in the late 60s/early 70s and always loved it - great job!
Thank you so much for this!!!! Instantly I was transported back to 1968, I was 10 years old and holding my grandmother and aunt's hands as I went through this ride for the first time. Awesome!!!!!
Bravo, Steve Wesson! Thank you for putting so much work into this amazing (and amazingly accurate) recreation. You just brought back a lot of great childhood memories.
One of my earliest Disneyland memories was seeing that huge eye through the telescope. I had no idea what it was until I watched some UA-cam docu-videos on it in the last year or so. Awesome rendition!
I remember this ride as a young child, and was disappointed when it was closed. I kept thinking of the eye looking at me at the end of the ride...this is cool
I remember going on this ride I guess about '83. I was 7. It was the most mind-boggling thing I had ever experienced. This animation is absolutely top notch. Great work.
You know what's amusing? I remember buying this recreation of ATIS on DVD from the creator's website way back in my early teenage years, before UA-cam even existed! The fact that I went out of my way to buy that DVD even though I otherwise have no nostalgia whatsoever for ATIS (being born in 1992, well after Star Tours replaced it) says a lot about how much into Disneyland history I've always been. LOL!
Oh, the nostalgia. I remember riding it as a kid, but the details have been lost to time. As a kid, you could let yourself believe it was real and be immersed in the ride completely. This recreation is astoundingly accurate. The spatial transition of the audio narration by Paul Frees from the overhead to the speaker in the ride tram once you board was perfectly done.
ATIS initially was a C Ticket attraction, then an A Ticket, and eventually ''Free." Loved it... A great example of the educational focus of Tomorrow land in the early days. Great video, too... THANKS!
Spectacular. I never rode this and yet I had an experience with the twists and turn reveals just like I was on a ride! I also love the detail of the revolving floor which reminds me of the people mover. Great journey, amazing work!
I bought this DVD before it was available on UA-cam, Amazing CGI work from Steve Wesson, I used to live in Orange County (Huntington Beach) and went to Disneyland quite often and I always made sure to ride ATIS, one of my favorite rides from the time it opened in 1967 to the time it closed in 1985, I like Star Tours but I would much rather have ATIS back.
When I was a kid, this was the first ride I had to take every time I went to the park, I hated that they replaced it with Capt EO, Thanks for making it posible to ride it again.
Absolutely brilliant! Best nostalgia trip ever. Hopefully we'll get more virtual ride-thrus like this. Perhaps, some day, the original Submarine Voyage, for one. With the Giant Squid and the Sea Serpent and the like.
Bravo! This was my favorite ride when I first visited Disneyland as a 10 year old in 1968! Great reconstruction....So cool to have the actual soundtrack!
Fantastic simulation -- I always looked forward to this ride when visiting Disneyland. I recall the neutrons 'jumping' differently -- like an arc, over your head -- but everything else is spot-on perfect. Thanks for sharing your amazing work!
Thank you for creating this Steve Wesson! This video is awesome! I showed it to my daughter, and she wishes this ride were still there just like I do. I still have my DVD copy this ride through video that I purchased years ago before youtube was commonplace :-)
I had forgotten about this ride that my younger brother and I couldn't wait to get on. Star Tours had been there for so long I couldn't remember or tell you what was there before. I do remember Mission to Mars though. When Tomorrowland was actually awesome (Im 53 now).
At Disneyland in Anaheim, CA, after the completion of Star Wars Land in 2019, as opposed to the old Adventure Thru Inner Space (1967-1985) & Star Tours (since 1987), then that amusement park in Tomorrowland could have a decision of do we want to move Star Tours to a new area and bring back the New Adventure Thru Inner Space / replace there to a new ride that requires space or leave Star Tours as it is.
I loved this ride from Disneyland growing up and that was pretty much, spot on of what I do remember of the ride. To see and hear and to experience the ride again was a joy!
Miss this ride. Understand that Disney has to change with the time & that we cannot live in a bubble.Anyway, a great throw back to childhood for a fourty-something person. Thanks for taking the time to create this.
You just gave me some serious nostalgia, Disneyland just isn't what it used to be anymore. Thank you so very much for the upload, this ride is definitely missed
This was my all time favorite ride. I can't believe how dull it now strikes me. Did I really force my poor dad to wait in line three or four times for... that? And I have no memory at all about the post-ride propaganda.
My grandmother worked at the Disney Hotel in an era when they gave free tickets to employees very generously. She would pick me up from school every day and put me on the Monorail and then go back to work at the hotel and the park became my babysitter for 6 years.

Wow, that sounds amazing. I would love to to go to Disneyland nearly every day.
Are you the luckiest kid ever, or what!? I'm happy for you!

A lot of things can be scary about shrinking down.
I remember scrutinizing the "shrunken" atomobiles to see if I could see any people moving in them.
I want to get shrink . THIS RIDE NEED TO COMEBACK . IT'S FIT FOR STUDENT ESPECIALLY SCIENTIST .
They need to bring this ride back maybe marvel theme based on any man

With the late great Paul Frees to take us along! This certainly brought back memories!
I'm a huge Frees fan.

For those who never got to ride ATIS, this is EXACTLY what it was like. Steve has done a marvelous job of recreating the scope, the visuals of the ride (and the original soundtrack is awesome). He has even captured the campiness of the post-adventure lobby. What a treat! I have, and will continue to, watch it many times.
Really? Even the projections in the nucleus and melting rooms?
Steven Wesson, you're a genius! Those of us who grew up loving this ride thank you.
That brings back SO many memories! Especially the "eye" looking at you!
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent work! This computer recreation is much more entertaining than the ride was.
I would like to thank the creator or creators of this virtual simulation of one of Disney Land's classic rides. Thank you for preserving it here forever so its never forgotten and we can continue to experience it though its no longer in service. I rode this with my parents way back in the early 60s. I never forgot it.
Rode on this with my mother in 1970, and we always wondered who "Monsanto Voice" was. The narrator is African-American character actor Will Kuluva, who also starred in The Twilight Zone's "The New Exhibit" and an Alfred Hitchcock Presents" episode. The ride made us believe that this was a glimpse in to the future that I would grow up in ... ha ha! But it was a lot of fun and I miss being able to see these things.
Thank you for this! Was lucky enough to ride it twice....once in 1972 and again in 1984, right before it closed. Great memories.
love this ride moved to california in 1966 must have gone this ride 100 times or more good job on making this!!!!!!!
I still haven't returned to normal size?!?!
Ha Ha I got scared first time I rode, thought I was really shrinking.
I refused to get on, because what if they can't bring me back to normal? Heck, the rocket ride to Mars didn't work right (we never even landed) so why would Inner Space work properly?
@ThatToyBonnieGuy did you ride star tours
I rode it so much I'm the shortest man in my family at a mere 6'3". DAMNIT DISNEY!
This is absolutely marvelous!! What an incredible rendering! It takes me right back there. Bravo!
Thanks a lot for this. I've heard about this ride so much and have always been curious what it was actually like. Great to do a virtual tour at any rate.
Great job recreating this ride. It brought back fond memories when I used to ride this with my dad when I was small. Today's generation don't know what they're missing. Sigh...
To whom ever created this reproduction of this attraction thank you your reproduction is uncanny. My uncle worked on the construction of this attraction in 1966 at Disneyland. The only thing I did not notice is when you exit the attraction at the end of the ride the netting that surounded the snow flakes originally dripped oil down the synthetic chords. Like the dripping oil lamps that were so popular in the 60's thanks for creating this wonderful visual for me and my family.
Oh my Gosh!! Thank you so much 💓, this was my favorite! You reminded my
e of my childhood, my family 😥
BLESS YOU!!! Your contribution to history is so appreciated. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much!
Amazing recreation! I have fond memories of this ride. Brought me back to when I’d ride it with my brother as a young kid.
THANK YOU for this amazing recreating of this great ride - I rode "Adventure Thru Inner Space" as a young kid in the late 60s/early 70s and always loved it - great job!
Thank you so much for this! What great memories! I really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for this!!!! Instantly I was transported back to 1968, I was 10 years old and holding my grandmother and aunt's hands as I went through this ride for the first time. Awesome!!!!!
Bravo, Steve Wesson! Thank you for putting so much work into this amazing (and amazingly accurate) recreation. You just brought back a lot of great childhood memories.
12 years later this is still the best complete cg ride recreation ever made.
One of my earliest Disneyland memories was seeing that huge eye through the telescope. I had no idea what it was until I watched some UA-cam docu-videos on it in the last year or so. Awesome rendition!
That brought back a lot of old memories. Late 60s into the 70s. Thanks very much. I feel like I was actually on the ride again.
I remember this ride as a young child, and was disappointed when it was closed. I kept thinking of the eye looking at me at the end of the ride...this is cool
Well done. Great memories from my childhood.
Too bad you WEREN'T going to Whoville.
I remember this ride....loved it!
I remember going on this ride I guess about '83. I was 7. It was the most mind-boggling thing I had ever experienced. This animation is absolutely top notch. Great work.
AWESOME! Brought back every childhood memory of what was my favorite ride in Disneyland
OMG Thank you. I fell in love with the narrator voice and this ride when I was little. Love the virtual tour. Ty Steve.
Good stuff.....takes me back to childhood. Magic.
This ride belongs in Disney Land Tomorrow Land. They should bring it back.
You know what's amusing? I remember buying this recreation of ATIS on DVD from the creator's website way back in my early teenage years, before UA-cam even existed! The fact that I went out of my way to buy that DVD even though I otherwise have no nostalgia whatsoever for ATIS (being born in 1992, well after Star Tours replaced it) says a lot about how much into Disneyland history I've always been. LOL!
Oh, the nostalgia. I remember riding it as a kid, but the details have been lost to time. As a kid, you could let yourself believe it was real and be immersed in the ride completely. This recreation is astoundingly accurate. The spatial transition of the audio narration by Paul Frees from the overhead to the speaker in the ride tram once you board was perfectly done.
ATIS initially was a C Ticket attraction, then an A Ticket, and eventually ''Free." Loved it... A great example of the educational focus of Tomorrow land in the early days. Great video, too... THANKS!
Spectacular. I never rode this and yet I had an experience with the twists and turn reveals just like I was on a ride! I also love the detail of the revolving floor which reminds me of the people mover. Great journey, amazing work!
WOW this took me back. Amazing job - thank you
Thank you so much for this. Very well done. Takes me back...
Beautifully done. Thank you.
We have gone backward.
Woody. This was real for some of us! We'll never forget.
Nicely done!
Thank you for doing this. I could feel parts of my brain electrically come alive with memories. You did an AMAZING job. 👍🏼🙏
I bought this DVD before it was available on UA-cam, Amazing CGI work from Steve Wesson, I used to live in Orange County (Huntington Beach) and went to Disneyland quite often and I always made sure to ride ATIS, one of my favorite rides from the time it opened in 1967 to the time it closed in 1985, I like Star Tours but I would much rather have ATIS back.
❤ I loved this ride , still do, thanks for the video 😊
When I was a kid, this was the first ride I had to take every time I went to the park, I hated that they replaced it with Capt EO, Thanks for making it posible to ride it again.
Absolutely brilliant! Best nostalgia trip ever. Hopefully we'll get more virtual ride-thrus like this.
Perhaps, some day, the original Submarine Voyage, for one. With the Giant Squid and the Sea Serpent and the like.
Bravo! This was my favorite ride when I first visited Disneyland as a 10 year old in 1968! Great reconstruction....So cool to have the actual soundtrack!
Fantastic simulation -- I always looked forward to this ride when visiting Disneyland. I recall the neutrons 'jumping' differently -- like an arc, over your head -- but everything else is spot-on perfect. Thanks for sharing your amazing work!
Thank you for creating this Steve Wesson! This video is awesome! I showed it to my daughter, and she wishes this ride were still there just like I do. I still have my DVD copy this ride through video that I purchased years ago before youtube was commonplace :-)
My mom would freak out with the eye. First time on this ride in 77' she screamed so loud, we thought she had fallen out of the ride or something. 😄
I had forgotten about this ride that my younger brother and I couldn't wait to get on. Star Tours had been there for so long I couldn't remember or tell you what was there before. I do remember Mission to Mars though. When Tomorrowland was actually awesome (Im 53 now).
At Disneyland in Anaheim, CA, after the completion of Star Wars Land in 2019, as opposed to the old Adventure Thru Inner Space (1967-1985) & Star Tours (since 1987), then that amusement park in Tomorrowland could have a decision of do we want to move Star Tours to a new area and bring back the New Adventure Thru Inner Space / replace there to a new ride that requires space or leave Star Tours as it is.
Thomas Schofield Like star tours can move to star wars land
THIS made me SO HAPPY! Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing back very happy memories from my childhood!
Absolutely incredible..best video i've ever seen "inner thru space!"
I LOOOOOOved this ride.
Thanks, sir. You accomplished a great public service... a great experience long gone from our world until now.
this was my absolute favorite ride. I was so sad when they took it out.. :(
I loved this ride from Disneyland growing up and that was pretty much, spot on of what I do remember of the ride.
To see and hear and to experience the ride again was a joy!
Absolutely perfect recreation ... bravo!
Miss this ride. Understand that Disney has to change with the time & that we cannot live in a bubble.Anyway, a great throw back to childhood for a fourty-something person. Thanks for taking the time to create this.
You just gave me some serious nostalgia, Disneyland just isn't what it used to be anymore. Thank you so very much for the upload, this ride is definitely missed
This was my all time favorite ride. I can't believe how dull it now strikes me. Did I really force my poor dad to wait in line three or four times for... that?
And I have no memory at all about the post-ride propaganda.
