I never saw the original ride, but have seen some clips on You Tube, etc and it looks like it was a really cool ride.
I think a new version could be a great showcase for Intel or another chip maker, showing how much can be fit into such a small space.
I would still have the "Mighty Microscope" as the start of the ride, but also use cars similar to Dinosaur which can enhance the ride as the cars shrink down to smaller size, perhaps showing how rough a smooth table surface really is at smaller sizes. There can then be section where the car angles up as they try to get "up" onto the microchip. As the car gets smaller, there can be a section with hairpin turns as the car follows the "canyons" laid out by the pattern of wiring on the chip. They can then even get small enough to see the electrons flowing along the wiring.
Finally, as the car begins to grow back to visible, I would have a setup like the original Mighty Microscope, but instead of having little model cars, I would set up a camera high overhead. The camera would take pictures of the cars that would be projected for the waiting guest to look at as if they were seeing the cars tiny inside the microscope. For the guests finishing the ride, I would install cameras near the microscope shooting pictures of the guests coming over to look at the tiny cars and projects those images onto the walls around the cars, so both the "tiny" ride guests and "huge" waiting guests can see each other.
Sound good?
