Oh! Got it now! Very cool piece of concept art, I've not ever seen that before.

I loved ATIS and rode it many times as a kid. I think my parents liked it because it was a free, cool spot and it kept me quiet. I have many fond memories of the ride and can still hear the narration in my head and visualize the ride. I can remember how it felt at the end of the ride when we got to the nucleus and the flashing red, I always felt like it was my own heart beating and maybe it was. A cool ride (no pun intended) and always one of my favorite memories of the old Tomorrowland as I remember it best.

Clearly I missed the great make-out spot in DL in my youth! That's hysterical, never ocurred to me. Clueless

I love, love LOVE Innerspace. As a little girl, I was terrified to go on for the first time. My Mom had to convince me that we really didn't shrink. Like MouseWife, I thought that we miniaturized!

Once I finally rode, I was addicted.

My heart broke when Innerspace closed its doors. Bye bye, giant rainbow snowflake.

MAGNIFICATION!!

I *heart* Monsanto.

My friends know that I'm obsessed, I love the site that Gemini Cricket linked. I received, as a gift, that guy's DVD of the virtual ride thru. And I have the entire ride loop on my Ipod. I love it.

Everytime I ride Star Tours, which is pretty rare, I picture Innerspace. I was too young to make-out on it, unfortunately (otherwise, stand by cowboy!) But it will always be my favorite. Always.

I love it. He really got it down to a "T". All of the atoms, all of the crystallized snowflakes. Even when you "disembark the ride", if you look "outside into Tomorrowland" you can see the Mary Blair mural.

If you turn out all of the lights, and focus real hard, you can recreate your youth.

God knows I've tried. And it really works. It's as close as I can get to a wayback machine. And I'm happy each time.

Okay, I'll buy it! You've sold me!

Who'll help me raise $26,000,000 so that I can fulfill my lifelong dream of building an exact replica of the ride in my back yard?
