Lost Disney Rides Recreated in CGI

Posted by timothy on from the please-add-space-mountain dept.

Dan Howland writes "Disney closes the rides, but the CGI geeks love them too much to let them disappear. 'Adventures thru Inner Space,' the Disneyland ride in which you shrunk down to the size of a molecule, ran from 1967 to 1985. Atommobiles.com is a fan site which includes this elaborate CGI recreation. The Walt Disney World version of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride closed in 1967. Virtual Toad is in the process of re-building it." I was born after 1967, and I've ridden MTWR many times, so perhaps they're talking about an older version.

    I grew up in central Florida. Disney World wasn't opened until 1974 so it would be hard for MTWR to have closed in 1967!

    How come someone doesn't recreate the "People Mover" ride? Man that thing rocked! Moved at 2km/h and went nowhere.
