20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage was a ride at the Walt Disney World theme park from 1971 through 1994. It was replaced with a Little Mermaid themed ride until 2004..
Defunctland is working on a whole bunch of these VR recreations. The project was first announced in 2017, although I suspect real work only started more recently when a bunch of volunteers could get their hands on (relatively) cheap VR equipment.
The thing I remember most about Adventure Through Inner Space isn’t the ride, it’s the waiting area. You could see people getting into the ride chairs, and then being shrunk down and sent into the ride.
I’m sure the effect would have been cheeseball to an adult, but it was amazing to me as a kid.
