This is the ride my parents keep talking about. They refer to it as "the atom ride" and have told me for years how they had their first kiss on it. Thanks for the video!
@@sharbean If it were a person instead of a snow flake I would have gotten intimate. But I would have to see who the person was and people would call me a pervert.
Monsanto? Oh what a stab in the heart for me. I wish the ride were sill around in any case. This was way more than a ride and I'll never understand why they took it out.
SonOfaChaosGod Oh yes, star tours, one of the first Disney rides that contained no Disney magic and unlike this ride, no one ever leaned anything from star tours, but that it is a motion simulator and not an actual ride. I guess they have to keep things fresh, however, and give people what they want, so who knows what ride will get the ax next and what mindless blaaah will replace that one.
Great to see this old classic again! It was one of the rides that represented the 'great Disneyland' of the past. It was always easy to get on at any time of day, thanks to its unique constantly moving boarding system. This ride was cool, fun, inspiring and relaxing; a terrific way to escape the midday sun, kicking back in an Atomobile for a nice lengthy ride. A true Disneyland masterpiece!
This ride was a big part of my childhood. I absolutely had to go back to it anytime I went to Disneyland (Usually was with my dad). I think it was the "star" of the whole park for me :-) In that I now understand that it opened in 1967, I must of been among the 1st folks to see this, because it seems like it wouldn't have been much later than that, that I went for the 1st time
I rode this ride a couple of times in the very early 70's at Disneyland and I really felt like we shrunk down to the size of an atom and that this ride was a technological secret for real.
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
Did they really shrink those people? How did they keep bugs from eating them? That's the scariest part of shrinking...being so small that bugs will eat you.
This was a big part of my childhood. My brother and I used to call this The Snowflake Ride and I really though it would shrink us. I am so bummed to see the Monsanto name on it.
@@jimkeskey Uh, what a weird comment. You don't really understand how hyperbole works do you? Can.you.understand.big.words.like.that.little.Jimmy??? Fuck you little freak. You sound like an idiot. Now stop taking things so literally and go troll somewhere else or go beat off to some Trump photo weirdo. Piss off.
This ride was Disneyland for me. weird, I know. the eye scared the s**t out of me. The quality that made it fun now that I look back wasn't G forces, fun colors, fast cars. fanciful charactersI think it was the Tomorrowland feeling. I WAS IN DISNEYLAND and nowhere else. years later, I heard about Star Tours. Oh my! . Then I rode it. Just another video while the chair knocks one about. cold and spiritless like the icy cold atoms in a water droplet.
Yup. I worked there the summer of '85. That was the year it closed. Total makeout ride. And (ahem) not a few who took it a step farther and weren't completely recomposed when the ride was over. I loved that ride as a kid but working there and hearing the ride operators tell stories totally ruined the magic for me. Imagine having your child see that. It needed to go.
@@makisekurisu8594 The ride was very dark, and teenagers are extremely creative, plus back in the 80s, most didn't understand how there could be security cameras watching even when there were no lights on.
I think allot of people used to go on that ride because of that. I don't remember what ride I heard this about, but security cameras caught two people doing, well, stuff, and when they got off allot of cast members were cheering them on!! They were embarassed, ha ha! I remember hearing this story, I think it was about Adventure Thru Inner Space.
Wow, did I love this attraction. Dig that groovy rain lamp at unload. They got rid of the "rain" and mannequin in later years and replaced them with illuminated signs.
There are so many rides if you were daring enough. But I think none more daring or adventures then the SkyWay. I think your only window of opportunity would of been when your going thru the Matterhorn ride.
It is also kind of funny that you asked that because along with that did you notice what the ride vehicles for this ride look like? This is where they got the idea to make the Haunted Mansion a ride through rather then a walk through. The same vehicles are "Doom Buggies" in the mansion!
RIP Paul Frees! Thank you for all of your incredible narrations!
Thank you. This video awakend my youth..................Brought me back to a time where Disneyland was more pure...........
We called it the Monsanto Makeout when I was a teen growing up next door to Dland.
If it were the inside of a person I would have made out. But we would have to see who the person was. I hope it was Tobey Maguire.
I'm so grateful to the person who took this video. I remember this ride from my childhood and now, can revisit it on RUclips.

It used to be known as the Adventure Thru Intimate Space ride among the local teens of the 70s and 80s.
My parents used to call it the giant eyeball ride. I barely remember it as I was just a kid, probably 4 or 5 the first time I got on this.

1. It was old as heck, and no one was interested in that kind of thing anymore.
2. They needed room for Star Tours.

One of the best things ol' Agent Orange incorporated funded.
I love the way people spoke back then. Everyone sounded intelligent.

This was an awesome attraction.
I miss this ride!! I think I was 9 the last time I rode it, before it was shut down. Paul Frees was the man.

My favorite ride at Disney since I was a child. I really thought we were SHRINKING!❤️
Me too. My sisters and I called it the shrinking machine.
The adults would always trick and fool the kids into thinking that by taking this ride you REALLY will shrink to that size.
The molecule ride! 7 years old I totally believed it.
Did they really shrink those people? How did they keep bugs from eating them? That's the scariest part of shrinking...being so small that bugs will eat you.
magic bugs eat you but then poop you out and you return to normal size
The bugs were killed using pesticides made by Monsanto. ;-)
In Adventure Thru Inner Space at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA, "Presented by Monsato" was eliminated around Monday, October 31, 1977.
I would have loved to have lived in the late 60's.
There is but one fat person at 0:06 in this video from 1967. Go to Disneyland today and they're everywhere.
@BMB012887
And NO Women with Pink , Blue , Green or Purple Hair or Tattoos Covering Every Square Inch of Skin.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@davidwesley2525 Or fat tattooed girls dressed like Minnie Mouse.
Got so scared about shrinking!!
no, it was adventures thru inner space because so many people were caught that the CM's gave it the title "Adventures thru intercourse"
Then again. Imagine intercourse on Body Wars. I do find the inside of humans intimate in some way. But only if I know it's a male person.
This was a big part of my childhood. My brother and I used to call this The Snowflake Ride and I really though it would shrink us. I am so bummed to see the Monsanto name on it.
Get over it.

Oh what a ride to take a girl on for an even wilder ride

how could you do the dirty in this ride?

That is sad.
I was told this ride traumatized toddler me.
YOU WOULDN'T help me when I needed you the most.
I was led here by another clip that said this was footage of ATIS with the lights on.
Did I miss something?
No lights on in this video. Pieced together from various home movies, it appears.
no, I think you were talking about the haunted mansion, it can be very easy to not know that, one is because both rides use same cars.
Wow, did I love this attraction. Dig that groovy rain lamp at unload. They got rid of the "rain" and mannequin in later years and replaced them with illuminated signs.
Yeah, Monsanto's sponsorship expired in 1977, and Disneyland removed all references to the company.
Ever noticed how some of the music on ATIS was reused for UoE at EPCOT?

in tomorrowland where star tours now sits.
Yes.

Is that the Ghost Host narrating?
yes it is

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
is this still avaliable?
Big mistake getting rid of that ride. A better sponsor would had helped
After all, Tomorrow was of visions of tomorrow
Now I really wish Body Wars had lasted longer.
With the sexy guy you went inside of shown. Hopefully looking like Tobey Maguire.
it was a ride dude. an optical illusion.
Click to where?
yes, yes it is :)
They really did shrink people using Disney magic. There are no people eating bugs in the Magic Kingdom.
Nightmares
I see : )
I would have loved this as a kid if I lived through the 60's
