... a small grouping of items saved from a 1969 visit to Disneyland.
The brochure is filled with pre-production art and features all the
classic parts of the attraction, along with nice cartoon drawings for
the Miracles From Molecules exit show. There is another version with
picture cover postcards of the attraction.
A view of Monsanto Company's attraction "Adventure Thru Inner
Space" in Disneyland. Located in the newly expanded
Tomorrowland, the futuristic building houses a ride through the inner
space of a snowflake in a vehicle called an "Atomobile".
The rider feels the unusual illusion of shrinking to the size the
atom.

I remember the InnerSpace ride at Disneyland (now where the current
Star Tours sits). Who could forget the BIG eyeball?

As we pass under the business end of the mighty microscope, and see a
blinking human eye through the lens we hear the Narrator:
Yes, the snowflake has melted, but there is no cause for alarm.
You are back on visual and returning to your normal size.

Here is a repost of "Hidden Hydroxilic Acid - Miracles from Molecules"

Thanks to DisneyParkAudios I wasted a weekend transcribing the
soundtrack of Disneyland's Adventure Thru Inner Space, Presented by
Monsanto, which was featured in Tomorrowland from 1969-1985
until it was replaced by Star Tours. Here are links to the soundtrack:

[part 2]
Well, I remember the very first publicly displayed "Hidden Mickey,"
why, it was a hidden Mickey even before the birth of Walt Disney.
But this particular Hidden Mickey was very prominently featured on the
_ADVENTURE_THRU_INNER_SPACE_ Attraction poster, 4 1/2 times, along with
six _ATOMOBILES_ which are more akin to a _ghost_coach_ than automobiles
But it reminded me that Steve Martin worked nearby in Merlin's Magic,
when his wife was my after-school babysitter. When he came home, one of
the first things he did was to rush into the kitchen and open his stash
and drop some Hydroxylic Acid into a tall drink of water. Then later
made famous "Get Small." That and "Who Are You?" from the hookah smoking
caterpillar and of _it's_a_small_world_ leads me to believe the
association was not by chance. Last week, and unrelated to
DisneyParkAudio's YouTube release of ATIS soundtrack, I create a drug
culture graphic to extol the awareness of DHMO, known on the street as
Hydroxylic Acid, Dihydrogen Monoxide kills.

In addition I was thinking of the veiled reference to 'clean nuclear
power' [I like fusion, not fission, and a reactor producing more energy
than we could ever hope to use is eight minutes away from every one,
each and every day.] and references to durable plastics as the answer to
keeping tomorrows landfills compact and organic.
==== SOUNDTRACK TRANSCRIPTION ====
Operator:
The front panel will close automatically.
Please remain seated at all times.
[Musical interlude]
Control:
Atomobile approaching snowflake specimen.
All phases standby to verify resolving power.
Phase blue, phase blue, light wavelength approximately .5000 mm,
definition excellent.
Phase green resolving power decreasing.
Phase green increase U angle, verify.
Phase green U angle increased to 14°29', Atomobile definition excellent.
All phases hold U angle until forward units reach crystalline stage in
snowflake.(All these as a whole deal a goal and tell forward uses in its
reach a crystal and stage)
Narrator:
Your attention please, this is the tracking procedure of an adventure
through inner space. Adventurous men of science who have made this
journey before you are carefully plotting every phase of this incredible
journey as you shrink beyond the smallness of an atom, the smallest
building block of matter.
We wish you and enlightening experience.
For though your body will shrink, your mind will expand.
Control:
All phases lower resolvable separation as Atomobiles proceed through
crystalline stage.
Compensate shrinking factor.
Phase yellow, U angle increased to 85°, approaching practical limit.
[Voice of Ward Kimbal?]
Phase yellow, hold at 90° and standby to convert to emerging probe.
Narrator:
You are about to begin your adventure through inner space.
We hope this remarkable journey will bring you closer to the adventures
experienced daily by men of science, men of vision who make similar
treks in a never ending search for new ways to manipulate molecules for
your comfort and convenience.
This journey which you are about to take, is but one of many such
marvelous adventures through inner space.
Forward units proceeding beyond limits of optical magnification, all
phases activate DLX system, verify voltage compensators.
Phase blue, DLX System go. Focusing on H2 O molecules. Advance
Atomobiles obscured.
All primary phases pinpoint CC factor of condenser coil, verify
triangulation.
Phase blue CC factor rectified, advance Atomobiles coming into focus.
All phases lock on present CC factor and hold until all automobiles
passed beyond DLX range.
Narrator:
Ladies and gentlemen on this adventure through inner space you will see
that the crystal is a basic form of solid matter.
You will see that crystals are made of millions of molecules, that
molecules are composed of one or more atoms and that atoms consist of a
nucleus and many electrons that surround it.
Here you will see just two of more than 100 known atoms that scientists
are constantly rearranging into molecules to further what nature began.
All phases initiate the MS precision converters and adjust to the
-20,000,000.
Phase yellow phase yellow reporting. Forward units on collision course
with the H2O molecule.
Increase precision focus to the minus one billion.
Phase orange forward units obscured cannot, repeat can not locate
Atomobiles.
All phases increase focus to the minus five billion. Proceed with
precision scan procedure.
Phase orange oxygen atom in sharp focus. Still no evidence of Atomobiles.
Critical phases continue precision scan procedure.
Narrator:
Your ultimate goal on this adventure through inner space will be the
very hub of this microcosmic solar system, the atomic nucleus.
Its capabilities are almost unimaginable.
It is a million times smaller than the atom, and yet it contains 99% of
the atoms weight.
The density of the nucleus is such that if we had one cubic centimeter,
? tsp. it would weigh 100,000,000 tons.
We hope this adventure will stimulate your interest to probe further
into the mysteries of inner space, for everything we use in our daily
lives depends on the universe of the molecule.
Control:
Phase orange, phase orange experiencing chromatic aberrations. Request
permission to increase object space index.
Phase orange, permission granted. Make adjustments and verify.
Phase orange immersion fluid bedded, objective positive. Atomobiles
observed approaching crystal labyrinth.
Phase red reporting. Forward units drifting into molecular stage. NA
factor approaching 1.40.
Phase red a hold at NA 1.60.
Attention all phases: Atomobiles proceeding beyond limits of normal
optical magnifications. Stand by to convert to DLX System when forward
units enter molecule are stage.
Narrator:
Manned flights to Mars and beyond, the glamorous probing of outer space,
may one day benefit all mankind.
But it is today's dedicated probing of inner space that will make it
possible.
It is man's probing into the realm of the atom and the molecule that has
developed the sophisticated materials that will enable our astronauts to
survive the rigors of outer space.
For centuries men had but his own two eyes to explore the wonders of his
world.
Then he invented the microscope, a mighty eye, and discovered the
fantastic universe beyond the limits of his own meager sight.
Now your adventure through inner space has begun, through the mighty
microscope, you will travel into the incredible universe found within a
tiny fragment of a snowflake.
I am the first person to make this fabulous journey.
Suspended in the timelessness of inner space are the thought waves of my
first impressions.
They will be our only source of contact once you have passed beyond the
limits of normal MAGNIFICATION, MAGNIFICATION, MAGNIFICATION, MAGNIFICATION.
Thoughts of the Narrator:
I am passing beyond the magnification limits of even the most powerful
microscope.
These are snowflakes and yet they seem to grow larger and larger.
Or could I be shrinking, shrinking beyond the smallness of a tiny
snowflake crystal?
Indeed I am becoming smaller and smaller.
These tiny bits of snowflake crystal tower above me like an enormous
wall of ice.
Can I penetrate this gigantic crystal?
And yet this wall of lice only seems smooth and solid.
From this tiny viewpoint I can see that nothing is solid no matter how
it appears.
And still I continue to shrink.
What compelling force draws me into this mysterious darkness?
Can this be the threshold of inner space?
Those strange spheres, have I reached the universe of the molecule?
Yes, these are water molecules, H2 O.
They vibrate in such an or early pattern because this is water, frozen
into the solid state of matter.
These fuzzy spheres must be the atoms that make up the molecule, two
hydrogen atom bonded to a single oxygen atom.
And I see it's the orbiting electrons that give the atom its fuzzy
appearance.
And still I continue to shrink.
Is it possible that I can enter the atom itself?
Electrons are dashing about me like so many fiery comets.
How can I possibly survive?
I have pierced the wall of the oxygen atom.
I'm so infinitely small now that I can see millions of orbiting electrons.
They appear like the milky way of our own solar system.
This vast realm, this is the infinite universe within a tiny speck of
snowflake crystal.
And there is the nucleus of the atom.
Do I dare explore the vastness of its inner space?
No, I dare not go on.
I must return to the realm of the molecule before I go on shrinking.
forever.
Ah, how strange. The molecules are so active now.
They have become fluid free from their frozen state.
That can only mean the snowflake is melting. melting...
Narrator:
Yes, the snowflake has melted, but there is no cause for alarm.
You are back on visual and returning to your normal size.
This has been one of many exciting adventures through inner space in a
never ending search for new ways to rearrange molecules for the benefit
of mankind.
Now in our display area you'll see modern miracles created by
rearranging the molecules of not only water, but of air, coal, petroleum
and of many other raw materials.
This is Monsanto.
Operator:
When the automatic front panel opens, please step out to your right.
Ladies and gentlemen welcome to miracles from molecules...
Theme song:
Miracles from molecules are dawning every day.
Discoveries for happiness, in a fabulous array.
A never ending search is on by men who dare and plan.
Making modern miracles from molecules for man.
Every atom is a world, an infinity unfurled,
