Spaceship Earth in Epcot

Epcot Center
Walt Disney Productions

Spaceship Earth
Ride a "time machine" through this 18-story "geosphere," where an Audio-Animatronics story of communications comes to life.

This was printed in 1982, and mailed from one young boy to his friend in 1984. He writes (in very cute printed letters) Hi Davy, I went to the beach first day I found 98 shells.  Your friend Jason
An adult wrote in the address for him.

Adventure Thru Inner Space presented by Monsanto

Adventure Thru Inner Space
presented by Monsanto

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 of the atom.

Adventure Thru Inner Space, presented by Monsanto Company, was an attraction in Disneyland's Tomorrowland. It was the first attraction to utilize Disney's Omnimover system.   It opened on August 5, 1967 as part of the New Tomorrowland, and closed in 1985 to make way for Disney and George Lucas's new Star Tours attraction, which opened in early 1987.

Matterhorn Mountain Bobsled Run


Disneyland
The Magic Kingdom, California

Bobsled Run
A bobsled finds a watery surprise in a glacial lake after twisting and careening down the icy matterhorn mountain.
1965/69 with written on the back

- - - - - - -

The Matterhorn Bobsleds is an attraction composed of two intertwining steel roller coasters, which opened in 1959 at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. It is modeled after the Matterhorn, a mountain in the Swiss Alps. It is the first tubular steel continuous track roller coaster ever constructed and thus an ACE (American Coaster Enthusiasts) Coaster Landmark.

Located on the border between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland, it employs forced perspective to seem more impressively large. Throughout the day, climbers dressed in Swiss mountain-climbing garb may be seen scaling the peak, often accompanied by Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse and Goofy.
