Step into an Atomobile and be prepared to be miniaturized!
While waiting in line, you see other guests enter
one end of the Mighty Microscope, appear near the opposite end only a few inches tall,
and finally disappear entirely.
Now its your turn.
Your Atomobilesimilar to a Haunted Mansion Doom Buggytakes
you on a journey into the world of molecules and atoms.
- After passing through the Mighty Microscope, youre shot into giant snowflakes.
- You continue to shrink, allowing you to enter the crystalline structure.
- You find yourself in a sea
of enormous H2O molecules.
- Electrons are now spinning around you!
- Youve penetrated the wall of an oxygen atom.
- Finally, you face directly into the glowing nucleus of the atom.
- As the snowflake melts, you finally begin get larger again. Youre back on visual.
Look up! Youre being watched through a microscope.
Your journey ends in the Monsanto display area, featuring the bouncy theme song Miracles from Molecules by Robert and Richard Shermanthe team responsible for the music for Its a Small World.

New Tomorrowland project.
It occupied the space that previously housed the

It closed in 1986. The space is now occupied by Star Tours.
