As I was thinking about Disneyland's 57 yrs, I reminisced about my earliest ride around 1974. I was 5 and so scared that this thing would really shrink me...happy days.

"Magnification...." - shadowgamer  1954.3 #37 12:33AM
I wish I can travel back in time just so I could ride this. But who knows what ripples I can cause in the time line just because I rode it lol - rbeezy  653.6 #160 1:30AM
That was such a cool ride as a kid. The imagination factor. And that fishing lines with dripping oil kind of fountain thing in the entry was great. - Westcoast  61.0 #3552 9:15AM

I LOVE looking at old pictures of Disneyland of what things "used to be" :) Does anyone have a good pic of the world clock? - JDizDude  8.7 #7235 10:51AM
I'd like to see that, I have a picture on the people mover where you can see inner space off to the side. - Goofdog  169.8 #2011 12:56PM
Thank you for posting this, I absolutely *loved* this ride!! It closed when I was 14, so I have a ton of memories and my favorite part was how freezing they made the giant snowflake room. Man, how I miss it! - Nala  331.4 #465 1:59PM
Wow- thanks for sharing. My memories of the "sensations" you feel in this ride are blurry. - Tomorrowland  66.5 #60 2:23PM
