My parents took my brother and me to Storyland almost every year in the late 80s and early 90s. It was comforting to step into Old Mother Hubbard's house or ride the tea-cups, but the main attraction was always "Voyage to the Moon". I was nearly brought to tears when my wife and I returned around the turn of last century to find it had been replaced with a giant nerf-gun frag-fest.
The ride itself is unexplainable so I'm glad I found this video. I imagine they instructed their artistic designers to try and simulate a moon adventure appropriate for kids, and then fed them a truck load of acid. A ride like this could only come out of the 80s and we'll never see another like it.
