Adventure Thru Inner Space opened on August 5, 1967, as the centerpiece of the "New Tomorrowland",[1] and closed in 1985 to make way for Disney and George Lucas's new Star Tours attraction, which opened in early 1987.[2] The attraction was narrated by Paul Frees, who also lent his voice to the Haunted Mansion attraction, another Omnimover attraction which is still open to this day.[3]
