A visit to Monsanto's Adventure Thru Inner Space

Here's a fun little brochure dated 1967 (WED Enterprises). Great drawings of Monsanto's Adventure Thru Inner Space.

It's a little souvenir at just 3 1/2" by 6", but boy does it make up for its small size with Fantastic art work.

This is great stuff Tim. I always loved how Monsanto and Upjohn promoted their Disneyland roles.

Awesome artwork! Anything having to do with ATIS is tops with me. Can you imagine how cool this ride would be if it was recreated with modern technology and effects? Such a simple concept... travel into a water molecule. But beautifully done. Gotta have Paul Frees' narration, and a giant eye at the end ("back on visual"!).

This flyer is the early version (is it missing some pages?). The later version is great because it has some nice photos.

PTA I agree! Major, it would be so awesome to have a new ATIS!, but yes, Paul Frees is a must "It could only happen at Disneyland"...

This is a weird flyer, It doesn't appear to have any missing pages as the "back" does seem like the back, but the front is rather simple. I am thinking that it came in another folder type thing? Either was, sure is fun to look at :-)

Tim, what is missing from this booklet are the postcards. One PC as the cover and one PC as the back.

Check your email Tim. I sent copies of the front and back of the pc's.

I have 2 of these booklets (completely intact) available for sale if anyone wants one. $10 each free shipping.

OH MY GOD! My sister used to have this very brochure in a scrapbook that I would always look at when I was a kid in the early 70's. I wonder if she still has it buried somewhere. Thanks for the memories!
