1:58 I think this is the first blooper with Walt Disney I've ever seen.
That is Live television for you.
As a kid, at the end of the day, when all the "E" tickets (and any other tickets of interest) were gone, I'd ride through this over and over. There usually was no line at that point. I think I just loved to hear Paul Frees' voice. When the Haunted Mansion opened, I said, "Hey! That's the guy from Inner Space!"
He also voiced duck scientist Ludwig von Drake. So quite literally, you could be doing this journey as a duck.
Just like we did with If You Had Wings in Florida.
Wait how did you record my conference room with George
Uh, Jedi Mind Tricks?
I have my methods...
Should have brought Howard the Duck to MGM Studios, I'm sure it would've been a big hit.
David Feltheim no they shouldn’t! Why stop at Hollywood studios? Actually they should change every single ride to a Howard the Duck ride and have *NO* meet and greets or shows that aren’t Howard the Duck. In fact… they should change the whole entire Disney company to Howard the Duck and make everyone forget about every single movie ever existed *except* Howard the Duck in fact *CHANGE EVREYTHING THATS EVER EXISTED TO HOWARD THE DUCK*
*DRAMATIC CHIPMUNK*
If this ride came back all they’d have to do is change the Monsanto sign to a PYM TECH and it would be an instant ant man ride
That is actually genius
I can definitely see a Ant-Man: Journey into the Quantum Realm ride, kind of like the Harry Potter Forbidden Journey ride in Universal.
I mean, Ant-Man 2 already had the vehicles. XD The pod vehicle that Hank rode into the quantum realm.
Just replace The Mighty Microscope with an ugly brown van!
Tangent360 it can play la cocaracha every time someone goes through it!
I would ride that.
Eisner: exists
Defunctland and Yesterworld: It’s free real estate
Eisner: *Exists*
Defunctland: I’m about to end this whole man’s career.
@@aware5358 Yours is even worse than the OP.
Free real estate. That’s sad and depressing. Disney has become a corrupt business. Walt Disney would not be happy with the purchase of Star Wars and marvel. What does the Fox News have to do with my company?.
That man just came thru and fucking poured tar and feathers over everything and dipped. 😂
The hall of chemistry sounds lit though
I remember standing in the line at age 5 or 6 and marveling that Disneyland could shrink people! For those of you who never experienced Disneyland circa 1976 it was absolutely magical.
I remember being afraid and thinking it would hurt! :) My parents played along.
I was born a year later. So I have no idea what it was like. ☹️. It's disappointing that my generation will never get to experience inner space. All we have is your thoughts, experiences and memories. It's called regret.
Yep...I was there in 1975. ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL!
Star tours the only tour that after multiple people are taken through literal death situations nobody sues
Actually, a number of attractions are like that.
@Frank Wells that's what he said.
@@kylemorello4787 No, he said "literal death situations." Nobody's died on the ride, and nobody's sued. If you have health issues and can't take a high-impact thrill ride like Star Tours, then stay off.
@@Owlzindabarn oh! I thought he meant in the narrative of the ride.
When you were standing in line you could see people getting on with the illusion of them being miniaturized. I tell you man, as a five year old kid this absolutely terrified me! My older brother had to convince me to go on, and pointed out to me that the models in the shrunken portion of the microscope didn't match up with the people getting on. You could even see empty seats going in, but no empty seats in the model. Before seeing that I was convinced it was real. I mean, everything else is real at Disneyland, right? It is when you're five!
I had the same experience at about the same age.
Same here. I was about 5 when it opened and we went that first year. It honestly terrified me.
But it long became one of my favorite attractions. Makes me wonder what an update today would look like.
the queue can make or break a ride
that's the difference between Disney & Universal
Same!! Never got to see the ride because my 5 year old self was scared of being shrunk!
Same!! Never got to see the ride because my 5 year old self was scared of being shrunk!
Hope you all enjoy this deep dive into Adventure Thru Inner Space! It was fun to really dig through it's history and find as many visuals as possible to tell its fascinating story along with aspects of how it evolved over the years,.
*Whoops, no idea why "July 5th" was on my mind when recording, but I meant to say July 17th for Disneyland's grand opening...at least I got the year right ;)
Also, evidently I messed up as I meant to say "oil based water fountain", as that was an important part of how the effect worked...
And I oop-
Did you ever find out what happened to the giant eye?
@@TodReynard43 Part of me hopes it was all kept safe in some sort of official Disney warehouse, and that could be the case, but sadly from what I've read this was probably not the case...back then they just had no idea how valued these sort of things would be.
july 17th is my birthday and it’s always been something i’m very proud of...i gasped out loud when i heard july 5th
Yesterworld Entertainment will you ever cover Tomorrowland’s Polio Pavilion where they gave everyone polio?
"...and his attractive children."
Uh. Interesting choice of words there, announcer person.
I had to rewind it to make sure. I was like wtf. Lol
I rewound it too just because that was so weird, haha.
Wendish1971 I think the problem is the word “attractive” as it insinuates that he or other adults are attracted to the children.
14:23 for anyone who cant find it haha
I did too.... weird choice. Lol.
I vividly remember his ride in 1974 when I was 11. It was truly spectacular for the time. The shrinking microscope in the queue was awesome.
Same here ,but I was 10 ....loved that ride :)
@@Labyrinthlovergirl 2:55 Hello there, DisneyDan!
@@Labyrinthlovergirl Me too ! I was 9. Just now realizing at 60 that the people in the tube were not real people. I thought is was a projection of the REAL people that were going by in the chairs. As a kid I swore there were people waving through the tube.....HAHAHAHA
If it were brought back today with modern technology and without Monsanto sponsorship or even any Ant-Man tie-ins, Inner Space would be pretty successful.
Ant Man in the parks could literally be built off Journey Thru Inner Space and Body Wars
And Disney owns Marvel.
I mean there's an Ant-Man ride in Hong Kong Disneyland but it's only a reskin of the old Buzzlight Year ride with a bunch of screens.
@@0311Mushroom thank you for that informative contribution
NO!!!! WE WILL NOT REPlACE BODY WARS WITH ANYTHING!!! ITS TOO GROSS OF A RIDE!!! And then the upstairs of the pavilion will be shut down and cranium command will be gone. RIP Buzzy. Come back to us
@@Velocity1401_ wasn't Buzzy recovered?
Thanks for making this video, "Adventures Through Inner Space" was one of my favorite rides of all time. I got to ride it twice, once in 1970 when I was 5 and again 1976, and it was an incredible experience. When I was 5, I thought the microscope with the miniaturized visitors was the most amazing thing...thank you for refreshing those wonderful memories for me.
Thank you for sharing your memories :) Sad that I'll never experience it for myself, but who knows, maybe we can one day build an actual Yesterworld.
Next can you please do The History of Mr Toads wild ride In Disneyland and Disney world
Did someone say Mr Bones wild ride?
@@connorh5335 LOL 🤣 No Mr Toads wild ride 🐸
I agree
Sounds like a good I dear
Donald sang Miracle Of Molecules in the Mickey Mouse Shorts episode, Down the Hatch
That's a pretty neat fact!
I think an instrumental version is still in the Tomorrowland BGM.
So I don't remember everything about the ride, I was nine the last time I rode it, but I will never forget that creepy eye looking down on you or the tiny people going into the ride that I would always wave at without realizing they were not actually people.
But I do remember loving that ride very much.
And if the scientist was hung over, those red veins in his eyes were scary as hell.
I really do want an ant-man ride that essentially does this, but with ant-man fighting a villain while showing modern versions of these scenes. The perfect blend of new and old.
Me too. Do it like the Transformers ride with 3D glasses would be amazing!
it would be cool if Disney does this type of ride again but as an Ant-Man ride where the guest would be going subatomic and traveling into the Quantum Realm to save Janet and use that as an idea ride for Marvel Land
Or they can mixed the ant man ride with adventure thru inner space that will be a instant good job ride .

Mustakim Rozak yeah that’s what I mean

Awesome video. I find it kind of funny that Monsanto felt like they needed to plaster it's name on everything. You should do a video about Disneyland's relationship with corporate sponsorship.
I feel like this would have to be shared in multi-part videos, but yes, I agree.
That was common in the era. Admission was cheap, sponsors offset a lot of the cost which is now entirely paid by the guests.
Raytheon sponsored a simulator ride that went in innoventions too lol
Edison Square? Take me to Tesla Towne.
I got to ride Adventures Through Inner Space as a kid and will never forget the shrink ray entrance or the narrator's voice. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
I rode on it the year after it opened. I remember the announcer's voice at the end, "THIS IS MONSANTO!"
I rode this ride as a child and loved it but I love Star Tours too. It was a lot of fun though, especially as a kid, imagining being shrunk down. The eye watching you at the end especially made an impression on me. I rode it in 1979 so I missed all the Monsanto branding. lol
I was able to ride this wonderful attraction before it closed. One of the best things about this ride, during the era I was able to enjoy it, (early 1980's,) was also part of the attraction's downfall; there was never much of a line to have to wait in. It was a good ride to get on when you needed a break from the rest of Disneyland.
No wonder "Miracles from Molecules" was so catchy. #thoseShermanBros
Ah, the joy of having been quite young in 1985 means that giant eyeball will forever haunt my darkest dreams. I miss this ride!
I remember my little cousin being terrified--absolutely terrified--by that thing.
Same! I was so young that my memories barely exist on the periphery - all I really remember is scary, dark, and the giant eyeball
With the new tomorrowland update inevitably coming, I really hope they bring back this classic attraction reimagined with modern tech because it's such a cool concept and it would do really well in my opinion. It would also be a great addition to a "New Tomorrowland"
This ride would have been truly amazing to experience, with the blending of tangible set pieces, sensory manipulations, and immersive story telling. Plus it's just all so pleasing to look at, and that's just through old photos. Must have been stunning to see it in person. Thank you so much for this!
It was pretty amazing ride
This is my all time favorite ride! I was scared to get on it when I was a kid but I soon grew to love it. I think the last time I rode it was in 1983 with my 8th grade classmates. Disneyland was a truly magical place in the '70s and '80s.
Yesterday I was wanting yesterworld and today is my lucky day thanks I needed my Disney history
Your videos are a time machine it's fantastic looking at Disney's past ☺
I love your icon. Taiko is a great game.
DON BBY
So, are you excited for PS4's Dreams?
"And on your left, you can see the Grinch staring down at Whoville from his lair on top of Mt. Crumpet..."
Man I wish they could bring such a great ride back. From what I have heard, it's so amazing.
Should have a disclaimer about the absolute horrifying business practices and history of Monsanto
Yup! I bet Disney wouldn't seek a sponsorship from Monsanto now!
Went on this many times as a kid. I miss old Disneyland.
This ride is unique because it has no charcters and is purely educational. A ride like this would instantly be considered "boring" today, but at the time it was a new and exciting take on dark rides.
I was three years old when I first rode this in 1971. This ride scared the living daylights out of me. My younger brother cried on this ride too. My dad was angry because it scared us. They need to bring it back!
The scientist’s eye always freaked me out.
Scientist: "You are now back on vis-HEY YOU TEENS! KNOCK THAT OFF!"
This ride is one of the few original rides that still holds a place in my heart. I think a lot of that fondness comes from its similarity to the Kroft Superstars show called Dr. Shrinker that I watched as a child. Between the microscope and the all seeing eye, it impressed that similarity into my young mind. I truly miss this ride.
One of the first rides I can remember every going on. That eye terrified me!
Wouldn't it be great if we still had more science based attractions nowadays?
I feel like this is more than appropriate in times of climate change (and its doubters), digitalization and overall shift in the way we learn things.
I really miss the true innovations these attractions were on various different levels. Nowadays we use this expensive and great technology like trackless ride systems, augmented reality and 4D effects for entertainment purposes only in most parks.
Why not work together with scientific organisations, government and companies again to combine entertainment with science again? I feel like this was the true gem in Walts legacy.
THIS.
I LOVED EPCOT when it opened... it was like the ultimate interactive museum. It made science and the world so fun! Now its a shadow of itself with dumbed down rides to cater to the ignorant masses and idiotic princess babble :(
see EPCOT for that!
yesterday and today,Tomorrow Land is some thing Disney really needed to come up with.
Becuse like Walt Disney said to keep on moving forward .
Is it odd that if I had the power of time travel I would use it to go back and visit old Disney attractions?
Nope! I would love to be able to ride ATIS and the PeopleMover again. And hell, it would be cool to see the Pirate ship and Skull Rock too.
I remember riding this in the late 70s/early 80s. The smell of weed coming from the (very private) ride cars was so strong that I am honestly surprised the cast members running the ride didn't have a permanent contact high... Nothing against smoking weed, but geez, there were little kids around!
That's nothing. Here in California even the pidgeons have a permanent contact high.
XD
That's nothing. Here in California even the street pidgeons have a permanent contact high.
XD
You should talk about the Disneyland's Tomorrowland icon, the World Clock along with America the Beautiful, Monsanto Chemical Hall of Chemistry, Flags of the States, and Monsanto House of the Future.
Omg! I am so beyond happy you are covering this ride!
Thank you!🎉🎉🎉
Many thanks for making this one. To the best of my recollection, this was the very first ride I went on on my first trip to Disneyland, way back in the day. Good times.
Thank you so much for this! ATIS was my favorite ride when I was little (I was 8 when it closed), and I still miss it to this day.
Mark I love this episode. Ive been waiting for you to cover this ride since I found your channel, as ATIS is my favorite defunct Disney attraction
Great work to document this fantastic ride! I had many rides on Inner Space as a child and I give it full credit for my theme park passion that has carried into my adult life.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TALKING ABOUT INNER SPACE!!!! This is one I’ve been waiting for.
You are so very welcome :)
Absolutely love your videos! Every time I see something new posted, I cant wait to learn. Thanks!
Unfortunately living on a limited budget and living in Ireland I doubt that I will ever see Disneyland in person 😢😿😥😭😢
So glad you finally did this classic thanls again and keep up the great work!!
This ride was one my favorite rides in Tomorrowland. It was closed because of a fire set by a firecracker. At that time I was working at the Tomorrowland' Terrance. I saw the smoke coming out of the ride as I was walking to work. The ride was not repaired because it was not popular. It had came to be known as the make out ride because couples would ride it so they could make out in privacy, not knowing that cast members were watching through hidden cameras that in all Disneyland rides.
So, they had an attraction named "Futurama." And now they own the unrelated cartoon series of the same name. Foreshadowing? Of course not.
And they TOTALLY need to add Bender and Zoidberg walk-a-round costumes.
I believe the phrase is "Coincidence? I think not!" ;)
They've gotta make a ride
Matt Groening admitted that the title was inspired by the World's Fair exhibit.
I’m confused. Why does everyone suddenly hate Eisner? With the help of Frank Wells, he saved Disney. I remember what it was like before he took over. It was terrible. Miller didn’t know how to run the company and was destroying it. Eisner wasn’t without his faults, but without him, Disney was facing ruin.
He's just become an easy target, as his later years were full of questionable decisions, but he did many fantastic things for the parks especially early on.
Yesterworld Entertainment honestly you and defunctland should do a comprehensive video on Eisner.
Yesterworld Entertainment - It fell apart after Wells died. He was the glue. Too many egos within the company were left unchecked after his death.
Nobody really hates him (Well, the majority of us don't) he's just a bit of a goofy guy and easy to poke fun at, especially since the later years were full of questionable choices.
@bigevilworldwide1 You have some very interesting points! And I do agree it's a shame that there's unused attraction space and attractions that are so old now that they've been shut down and left to rot... with nothing to replace them. They want to replace an existing attraction for the Guardians of the Galaxy stuff in Epcot, but they could just move that into the defunct 'wonders of life' pavilion without replacing anything currently in use! Why?
I do agree that most of the Disney original stuff in attractions had a special kind of magic to it, but I'm also excited to see them doing things with things like Marvel and Lucasfilm that would otherwise have never happened. I get how people are sore about Disney buying Lucasfilm and everything, but without that, We'd never have something like Galaxy's Edge! I've wanted something like that for years since I was a youngling and experienced the Star Trek Experience in Vegas before it closed down. It was amazing. I couldn't really do it justice without making an entire essay about it, or a youtube video, but it was quite a fantastic experience and I was really devastated when they closed it down. To this day I still wish they'd bring it back, but Galaxy's Edge is a nice substitute. (No, I'm not not one of those Star Wars Vs Star Trek types, I like them both for different reasons, so sue me.)
I've always loved this ride, I always remember it being one of my favorites growing up. However, I'm pretty sure that when I went it was during the post-Monsanto period because I don't remember ever seeing the Monsanto hall or any Monsanto promotions. But then again, I was fairly young back then so I just might not have remembered seeing Monsanto in the ride.
Wow I never knew what this ride was thank you so much for taking the time and showing your artistry of presentation
I feel like Adventures Through Inner Space could easily be repurposed into a Marvel Ant-Man ride with the whole shrinking thing. It could be like, "Ant-Man: Journey to the Quantum Realm"
yesssssss i’m so happy this is out!
As a kid and since we only lived a couple of hours away, we would visit Disneyland every year. On really hot days, we would use this ride to rest and cool off. I watched it's decline and subsequent removal. StarTours was a great ride but I still missed Inner Space.
Now I finally understand what that thing is at 0:44 that's always in the intro sequence! I've been wondering xD
This video brings back so many good memories. I loved this ride so much, and I still think the entrance to the microscope to be "miniaturized" is one of Disney's best illusions ever. It really felt like you were going straight up an incline.
Loved that you and @disneydan collaborated on this
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL IT IS SO INTERESTING TO LEARN ABOUT THESE ATTRACTION. I AM A HUGE DISNEY FAN AND I HAVE BEEN FOR A CRAZY AMOUNT OF TIME AND I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL FOR A LONG TIME.
I first rode this in 1975 at the age of 5. I was astounded beyond belief and thought the ride was real. It was both terrifying and amazing. I have more nostalgia for this ride than any other at Disneyland.
I thought there was no niche or cranny of my Disneyland memories still to explore, but when you showed the Crane "Bathroom of Tomorrow" I saw those valve-opening wheels that would control how much water would spurt upward and the color of the same and a memory came back. My brother and I used to do that. We would make dancing fountains (I can't really remember how that all worked, unfortunately) and when we found ourselves doing that, it meant we were really at Disneyland again. It was maybe our first stop after entering the park. We were tiny little guys at the time, maybe 8 and 6 years old... It's a thrill to remember this. You just shone a light into a dark corner of my mind. Thanks for that!
I love all of this information! I had no idea Monsanto was so influential in the early days of Disneyland. researching the 1964 world's fair was also insanely eye opening, I just had no idea the history behind it all!
Wow, i love the memory of riding the people mover and seeing this ride and the store! I had forgotten about that.
My great uncle did some art for that ride.
Who was your great uncle?
What was his name?
This was my absolute favorite ride as a kid. I kinda wondered how my Dad had so many leftover ride tickets from when we used to go, now I know: the ride I loved most didn't need tickets, so he didn't get to use many of them XD We would go on this ride 3 - 4 times a visit because I loved it so much. I didn't remember the Monsanto stuff, but it looks as though it was all removed before my first visit. Today I learned, thank you. =)
This is a really enjoyable video. Now it's starting to inspire me a lot!
I find it crazy everyone had fancy clothing back in the day
It was just the fashion of the times. Casual/leisure wear as we know it didn't really exist in those days, mostly because the sports attire that it was derived from didn't exist in that form yet either. That and Disneyland had a dress code making everyone look like they were either going to or coming back from church for some reason.
Adventure Thru Inner Space is my most lamented lost Disneyland attraction. Such an amazing and unique concept, really cool and educational at the same time. It was killed for Star Wars. UGH. They need to bring it back. The first time I rode it, was circa 1970/71. I was ~3 years old and I really believed we were shrinking, were floating in space with nothing below us, and kept shutting my eyes, because I was scared. Likewise I believed that people were being shrunk, as you could see them so in the Mighty Microscope. And I didn’t understand how they got into the giant stained glass snowflake! I rode it for the last time in December of 1984, and had no idea it was going away. I was 16 years old. It closed after that. I want it back, in the same place with the same layout, same snowflake stained glass, same Omnimovers, and same mighty microscope, and same Paul Frees narration and show scenes, just with updated special effects and technology. Actually, I want all of 1967 Tomorrowland back!!!
This was always my favorite as a kid.
Hey, my favorite channel, Defunctland, uploaded!
I can't tell them apart unless Kevin makes a lame Eisner jab.
@@Clay3613 S A M E
On of my favorites rides ever! I remember coming back after a long time, and Star Tours was just there. I was so disappointed at first, then I rode Star Tours...
Yes, well needed quality content!
Thanks Erc C! Glad you liked it!
Dang, this ride would've been so cool to see in person!!
It was
So true. I was born a year later. I’m sure you and that guy were born a decade or two later. So we have regrets. Because, all we can do is ask ppl who were on that ride. What it was like. 🤔😢😔.
Love this. I am a huge Disney fan and I didn’t have any idea this dark ride was ever a thing
In the first season of the Paul Rudish Mickey Mouse shorts, there was an episode called "Down the Hatch" that was essentially a three-minute tribute to ...Inner Space. It even had Donald quacking "Miracles from Molecules" during the credits.
finally my most cherished disney memory as a child in the early 70s! Like everyone else I remember the giant shrinking microscope and that huge eyeball at the end... seeing the various videos about the ride I realize that there wasn't much else to the attraction beyond that. But damn did those two things stick right in my brain.
Never been here this early! Can't wait to watch this video!
Watched it. So interesting, I wish I could have rode the original ride, it sounds very trippy and interesting.
Cool photos and footage, especially of the older exhibits from the pre-1967 Tomorrowland. They were so short-lived, and though many people have heard of them (thanks to historical "look-backs" like this one) very few people living today must actually remember them/have experienced them.
Again, this was something I knew that had to be talked about at some point.
I totally remember this. The tiny ride vehicles and the giant eyeball!
Some awesome shots in this I've never seen. I always wanted to know what the control rooms look like behind the scenes. But I'm surprised there was no mention of Fantastic Voyage, which until now I thought was the inspiration for this ride. Thanks.
It is awesome to see this video just as we are on the cusp of yet another overhaul of Tomorrowland Disneyland. Who knows? Maybe some old rides will come back
I fucking adored this video, keep up the good you're easily my favourite theme park channel and I've now watched everything on your channel. Hopefully you get more extra roles in the future.
Excellent video, I miss this attraction so much.
If they make a marvel land please make a ride like this . It will be nostalgic
Good job man
5:40 going HAM with the beachball
I got to see Inner Space in 1975. Was an ‘E’ ticket ride by then! And it’s narrator was the great Paul Frees!
These all sound incredible I wish I could have visited them from the very first to the last one 🙀🙀🙀🙀
I remember this ride so well, free and a great place to make out as a teenager
Love your videos
Great job! One of the better videos of an important Disney landmark attraction. I think that attraction could be rethought and updated and be a great attraction again along with a revamped people mover. Those two attractions really anchored tomorrow land and deserve to be re done.
I'm in complete agreement. Now that they have the Marvel properties (especially Antman) They could totally do a modern version via Pym's technology and have some kind of adventure with Antman himself but learning a lot on the way, making it a big draw for Marvel fans.
The interesting part is that the pre-Adventures Thru Inner Space control room for the Pirates had monitors or at least some sort of television within the control tower in 1966 as per this video of a ride test in December 1966 from D23. I mean the biggest achievement of ATIS was the groundbreaking use of the Omnimover, which was deemed in late 1967 to be the best course of action (or ride system) for the Haunted Mansion and then revived for the WDW "ATIS", which was "If You Had Wings" in 1972.
It's neat to see how this ride contributed to such major parts of the other attractions and experiences! The Omnimover system is AMAZING! They even used it for the newer Ariel's Adventures (or whatever it's called, it's late, can't think), as it is also a constantly running attraction that doesn't stop for loading/unloading. Omnimover gives a great smooth experience and you don't have to crane your neck to see things because they turn your whole ride vehicle to face the scenes directly.
