the conspiracy is bigger than we can imagine. just stumbled on this mind boggler... In 1965 Walt Disney approached the Monsanto Company with his idea of a new, expanded Tomorrowland. Monsanto and Disney had previously collaborated on 3 Tomorrowland attractions: Hall of Chemistry in 1955, House of the Future in 1957, and Fashions and Fabrics through the Ages in 1965. Dr. Charles Allan Thomas of Monsanto, principal scientist in the development of the atomic bomb, and Walt Disney discussed an attraction that would explore the world of Inner Space into the microscopic realm of a drop of water. They combined ideas of a 1957 project called Science Land with a 1958 project called Adventures in Science. In both Science Land and Adventures in Science, guests were to have learned the history of science. Adventures in Science riders were to enter through a giant microscope and travel from the prehistoric days of the dinosaur all the way to the futurism of outer space living. In February of 1966, the resulting concept was born as Micro-World, only to be changed to The Magic Microscope two months later. At that point Monsanto agreed to be its sponsor and mentor. WED Enterprises started work on the project right away. This time guests were to enter the microscope and get shrunk to explore a drop of water. The idea of a trip into a water drop was soon changed to a trip into a snowflake. At the same time they were working on all the attractions for the new Tomorrowland, they were also working on Disney World in central Florida and elements of the Disney plans for a year-round recreational facilities at Mineral King, California.
