My oldest brother and convinced my middle brother when he was about 10 years old that you really did get shrunk down, and that one time the ride broke down and they couldn't bring the riders back to normal size. Later on, when we were standing in line he started crying and told my mom "I don't want to get shrunk!" Good times.
This was a time when Americans were more fascinated with innovation, technological progress and human achievement, unlike today where all we care about are sex scandals, diet plans and Snooki's new boobs.
this was in the building taken over by 'Star Tours in 1987'. In the Star Tours ride, during the escape from the space station hangar bay, you nearly crash into a crane thing; behind the crane thing is a model of the 'Journery Through Innerspace' microscope.
That ride used to scare the crap out of me when you went through the part with the eye looking at you. I also used to cry cause I actually thought you really shrunk when you went in the telescope. LOL
Thanks for posting this...didn't think I'd ever see the ride again.
I remember back in 1989, somewhere like ten years or more passed since my last Disneyland trip, and I'm over by Spaceland asking a Disney employee "Where's the ride with the big eye looking at you?" He looked at me like I lost my mind. HA-HA
What a great ride when i was a kid.the most amazing part of the ride was looking up at that eye.sure do miss it.remember.the past is the past.it will always be there.just as long as we can remember it.
We know that 2 great science-based things Disney has lost are Adventure Thru Inner Space(duh) at Disneyland and Wonders of Life at Epcot in Disney World. I have a great idea: Bring back ATIS in the Wonders of Life building! There is obviously enough room since they probably threw out everything else in there. Thumbs up if you want ATIS to enter Disney Parks again!!! :D
I remember this ride! I was really young and was terrified the entire time riding it, thinking I was really shrinking down. To add to the horror, they had a part where there's a giant eye looking at you through a microscope. This was a seperate ride. The people mover was a sort of ski lift thing that gave you a tour of the park from above. I'm pretty sure it was while you were on the people mover that they had an area that took you through the world of Tron.
@Benstudio13 yea and Star Tours 2 opens May 16th at Disney World! I am perfectly confident about the date because it comes from the Disney World website calendar, of which I witnessed the perfect accuracy of the reopening day of the Mad Tea Party in November. Refurb walls up Wednesday, children (and me) getting dizzy in teacups on Thursday.
@Countjustinrowe He also did many other voices for other purposes like cartoons. Go to themightymicroscope. com and there is a section on the website about Paul Frees. There is a ton of cool stuff on the website, and I have never had time to look at all of it.
there were relay-based tic-tac-toe machines in the waiting space as well - its too bad they retired the ride rather than modernize it. I loved the atoms-all lined up frozen in to the crystal... i haven't been back to disneyland since... it seems the old ties to progress and socialism are taken out for thrill rides... alas. Thank you for the lovely memory... i remember wondering how they got water to fall down those threads, touching them to find its oil... kids. :-)
@Keeponrockin404 That was a ride that existed at Disneyland. Only it was on a track above you and took you on a tour of Tomorrowland. Adventure Thru Inner Space was on ground level and was very different from the PeopleMover.
@daddyreign No, the ride was made in 1967. No one had the technology to shrink things back then (and we still don't today). It was just a ride that made it look like you were shrinking to the size of an atom.
The cool thing about this time of year is you can see the snow flakes from Inner Space being used in The Haunted Masion holiday season (as you enter the grave yard scene)
FUN FACT: The type of track and cars used in Adventure Thru Inner Space are STILL used today in all of the Disney parks. The track/cars are used in the Haunted Mansions in the parks. So there's still some of this ride is till there. :)
@softballfreako Right. They are now referred to as Doom Buggies. And the track was used for the old attraction Rocket Rods before that closed and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters took over part of it. Actually, for awhile, you could see a car from Rocket Rods still on the track from inside the line for Star Tours.
@softballfreako watch the video "Tomorrowland Music-Disneyland 6" by morphavolo. I recently noticed that part of today's Tomorrowland music is another tribute to the vanished ride. Also someone else on youtube points out tributes to this ride found on Star Tours. Is this the full ride in this video?
I remember this ride from when I was a little kid. I actually used to think the "people" that you'd see shrinking on the side of the microscope were real! I don't think I figured out they weren't until one day the ride cars themselves broke down while my family and I were waiting in line, yet somehow the shrinking people kept on going! Ah, the things we perceive as children...
@misterbetta1 Yea, I thought the people were real in the microscope as well. I was always wondering if they were not real where did the cars really go? PS I remember tomrrowland when I was a kid in the late 70's early 80's being the best. The people movers, Rocket to the moon, Journey Thru Innerspace, etc. I really liked Disneyland a lot better then. Now that I am older, I wondered if it was because I was to old. No I think not! I think its because all the good stuff is gone.
Wouldn't have been heartbreaking to be on the team that dismantled it? I don't think I could have done it. I'm not "anti-progress", but that was nearly sacred ground to me, along with all the other originals from our childhood.
@simpsonsdumbhead I hate when there's a one or a few people that ruin the fun for everyone. There's always a moron that doesn't think about what MIGHT happen.
@simpsonsdumbhead I hate when there's a one or a few people that ruin the fun for everyone. There's always a moron that doesn't think about what MIGHT happen.
There closing star tour in October to make a star tours 2 but it's a shame I'm 15 but I wish I could go back intime my dad tells me great storys about these old rides but this one I really wana go onnnn
@09anthony0906 It's a great ride still (went there 2 months ago) but it's really looking dated. They're probably using a laserdisc for the big screen, and comparing it to 1080p it looks BAD. and you can hear the plastic walls in the "craft" creaking and squeaking" when it moves. And they STILL use the same cheesy instructional video out in the hall.
It'll be sad to see it go, but I'm glad my kids got to see it before it gets changed. i'm just mad they're making it a stupid pod race.
Excellent! I was probably 5 when I went on this ride and I remember being really worried about shrinking and not being able to get back to normal size :) Thanks for the trip back to childhood.
i give this ride a 6/10 because it dosent look all that fun or that much above average from what i see here. . . . well average compare to everything else they have at disneyland
The vehicles that you ride on in this ride are now the Doom Buggeys that you ride on in the Haunted Mansion! I think that they should use new Doom Buggeys though insted of the ones from this ride of Inner Space, because they keep stoping and showing their age while you are on the ride!
Cool to see. I was just a little kid when "Inner Space" closed, so I only barely remember standing in the queue line and watching riders go through the microscope. Thanks for posting. :)
Isn't the narrator of this ride the same guy who speaks at the Haunted Mansion?? He sounds exactly the same, and both attractions opened at about the same time.
When Tomorrowland was about science not comic books. I hate how Disneyland dumbed down Tomorrowland with crap like Star Tours and even their new House of Tomorrow isn't even a house anymore, its just a stage set you might find at a furniture store. They couldn't even build a real house! The original House of the Future by Monsanto couldn't even be destroyed with a wrecking ball. The new one they ask guests not to lean on the walls.
@darrenrocks1234 I don't think its where Space Mountain is today, if you look more closely at some of the pictures 1. the ride is close to the entrance of tomorrow land 0:40 2. it shows the people mover moving through the same room as the main quarry line for the ride, I don't remember the people mover going through space mountain 0:50 and 3. compare some of the pictures of Star Tours and this one of the layout of the main quarry line 0:50
lemme guess, thats now mickeys star traders? i mean the peoplemovers used to go through it! its so odd in the pit of your stomach knowing what disneyland used to be! I mean, i go to walt disney world so i know disneyland by youtube and stuff XD
the problem is.....the entrance queue follows the old ride path from Adventure's thru inner space. the walk way down and around, in front of the Speeder and up into where you "board" the speeders....is the old ride path
This was a fantastic attraction that deserves to be rebuilt. The narrator is the legendary Paul Frees (1920-1986) who did a great deal of voice work for Disney, in films, cartoons and at the parks. He is also the voice of the "Ghost Host" in the Haunted Mansion and several of the characters in Pirates of the Caribbean including the Auctioneer.
Totally agree with u. I'm a big Star Wars fan but even I would luv 2 b able to go on Inner Space just one more time! I say, bring back the nostlagic Disneyland!
Thanks for putting me back in touch with my childhood. I used to play this song as a kid and think about the ride. Too bad Disneyland got rid of this one.
@brabon1 With out being overly graphic let's just say that not every young lady's blouse stayed buttoned up and not every young man's zipper remained zipped up.
@scottca075 well, i never went that far, but had i known that disney employees could see into the cars, probably wouldnt have even made out with my gf
these are the types of rides that made disneyland stand out because of the atmosphere and ambience. theyve removed alot of rides and/or shows that i would consider to be great disney nostalgia
I was a kid when I went on this and we really thought we had shrunk...we thought we should just get out of the seats and hide.. at that small size knowone would see us or find us. Ahhh.. to be a kid again.
No matter how advanced technology becomes this ride still works. Did you notice how much the melody of the song sounds like the Carousel of Progress? Another great ride! Aw, the good ole days.
This was an awesome ride, I went on it many times, and it was my 2nd favorite ride of all time (my 1st being the Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland). The ride that now takes up this same space, Star Tours, is inferior to this ride. Thanks for posting this video, it brings back great memories.
wow that experience was unforgetable ,wish they never took it away, grettings from temo...queeeee experiencia ojala nunca devieron quitarlo....saludos de temo ..........
I rode this ride when I was very young my dad took me on it and the things that stuck in my head the most where the small people going in thru the microscope and at the end of the ride the eye looking right at you always made me cover my eyes not see but always peeked to see the huge EYE! Great ride and wish Disney does bring it back in any form!
A slightly different version of Miracles from Molecules is on the 5-CD Disneyland 50th Anniversary soundtrack, along with the audio track of this bygone attraction.
That song's such an awesome glimpse into the way people used to think about technology and progress.
i wanna go on this ride so bad! u know its funny, pl say that the microscope is in the star tours film but really its a replica since the real one was too big
I used to like the World's Fair concept of sponsored attractions (Bell Telephone's America the Beautiful, GE's Carousel of Progress, Goodyears' People Mover, etc...). You really felt like you were experiencing the latest greatest technology. Today all the new rides are dumbed down.
Paul Frees did one of his many voices for Disneyland for that 1967 attraction [he also did animaityon voices fior Disney, was the hermit crap in Warner's oddball live animated Don Knotts flick "Mister Limpet", released the same year as the like mixed media Disney "Mary Poppins", and for a number of Jay Ward characters such as Boris Badenov, and the Pillsbury Doughboy.He's also in the Pirates [almost all voices in original 1967-2006 verison] and the haunted mansion as narrator and Tiki Room.]
What I remember most about this ride were the little "shrunken" people in the huge microscope, the huge snowflakes, and the voice of the narrator. I loved this ride when I was a kid! Listening to this narration again is like a strange trip indeed!!
Man, that is some extremely thinly-veiled industrialist propaganda right there. How perfectly awful. Then it's off to the Ritalin Bouncehouse, sponsored by Pfizer...
I was obsessed with this ride as a 4 year old. My sister got sick of taking me on it. She made me go on by myself. Afterwards, I got lost from her, and a French guy tried to help me find her by hoisting me on his shoulder. One of my sobs backfired, and I proceeded to pass gas on the Frenchmans shoulder. He took me off real fast. And I found my sister.
Even though this ride was removed before I was born, It still looks like a great ride. It's a shame this was replaced by Star Tours. Star Tours...from what I heard, that is still a good ride...but still. I hope a newer version of this ride replaces Honey, I Shrunk the Audience (Although I did like Honey, I Shrunk the Audience as a kid).
Great Video. ATIS was great, but it's best feature if you were between the ages of 12-16 was it was by far the best make-out ride in the park. The Mansion was ok, but this ride was so dark it was perfect. I miss this ride and especially America Sings.
My oldest brother and convinced my middle brother when he was about 10 years old that you really did get shrunk down, and that one time the ride broke down and they couldn't bring the riders back to normal size. Later on, when we were standing in line he started crying and told my mom "I don't want to get shrunk!" Good times.

I totally forgot about this ride. I think I went on it at WDW in 1973 and/or 1981.

Problem with that statement...WDW never had ATIS. They had "If You Had Wings" sponsored by Eastern Airlines, but no ATIS.

the problem is.....the entrance queue follows the old ride path from Adventure's thru inner space. the walk way down and around, in front of the Speeder and up into where you "board" the speeders....is the old ride path

This was a fantastic attraction that deserves to be rebuilt. The narrator is the legendary Paul Frees (1920-1986) who did a great deal of voice work for Disney, in films, cartoons and at the parks. He is also the voice of the "Ghost Host" in the Haunted Mansion and several of the characters in Pirates of the Caribbean including the Auctioneer.

Thanks for putting me back in touch with my childhood. I used to play this song as a kid and think about the ride. Too bad Disneyland got rid of this one.

No matter how advanced technology becomes this ride still works. Did you notice how much the melody of the song sounds like the Carousel of Progress? Another great ride! Aw, the good ole days.

This was an awesome ride, I went on it many times, and it was my 2nd favorite ride of all time (my 1st being the Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland). The ride that now takes up this same space, Star Tours, is inferior to this ride. Thanks for posting this video, it brings back great memories.

I rode this ride when I was very young my dad took me on it and the things that stuck in my head the most where the small people going in thru the microscope and at the end of the ride the eye looking right at you always made me cover my eyes not see but always peeked to see the huge EYE! Great ride and wish Disney does bring it back in any form!

A slightly different version of Miracles from Molecules is on the 5-CD Disneyland 50th Anniversary soundtrack, along with the audio track of this bygone attraction.
That song's such an awesome glimpse into the way people used to think about technology and progress.

I used to like the World's Fair concept of sponsored attractions (Bell Telephone's America the Beautiful, GE's Carousel of Progress, Goodyears' People Mover, etc...). You really felt like you were experiencing the latest greatest technology. Today all the new rides are dumbed down.

Paul Frees did one of his many voices for Disneyland for that 1967 attraction [he also did animaityon voices fior Disney, was the hermit crap in Warner's oddball live animated Don Knotts flick "Mister Limpet", released the same year as the like mixed media Disney "Mary Poppins", and for a number of Jay Ward characters such as Boris Badenov, and the Pillsbury Doughboy.He's also in the Pirates [almost all voices in original 1967-2006 verison] and the haunted mansion as narrator and Tiki Room.]

What I remember most about this ride were the little "shrunken" people in the huge microscope, the huge snowflakes, and the voice of the narrator. I loved this ride when I was a kid! Listening to this narration again is like a strange trip indeed!!

I was obsessed with this ride as a 4 year old. My sister got sick of taking me on it. She made me go on by myself. Afterwards, I got lost from her, and a French guy tried to help me find her by hoisting me on his shoulder. One of my sobs backfired, and I proceeded to pass gas on the Frenchmans shoulder. He took me off real fast. And I found my sister.
Great ride! (ATIS, not the French guy's shoulder.

Even though this ride was removed before I was born, It still looks like a great ride. It's a shame this was replaced by Star Tours. Star Tours...from what I heard, that is still a good ride...but still. I hope a newer version of this ride replaces Honey, I Shrunk the Audience (Although I did like Honey, I Shrunk the Audience as a kid).

Great Video. ATIS was great, but it's best feature if you were between the ages of 12-16 was it was by far the best make-out ride in the park. The Mansion was ok, but this ride was so dark it was perfect. I miss this ride and especially America Sings.
