Logline

Embark on an adventure of giant proportions. As soon as you enter the queue, you'll be welcomed into the Szalinski home with real props from the film. The queue folds through the Szalinski replica living room and kitchen until a staircase leads you to the Szalinski attic for an electrifying preshow.


The attic preshow, led by a Wayne Szalinski actor, gives you a short tour of his invention: the famous shrink ray. He trips over Nick's hot wheel track on the floor yelling for him to clean it up. He doesn't realize he's toggled the ray on. An exciting light and laser effects show ensues. Harkening to the Haunted Mansion, the attic seems to grow larger with a lifting ceiling and expanding walls. The tension builds until the power shuts and doors open leading to a ride station. You've shrunk and now see a giant screw and floppy disk on the floor, giant computer outlet on the wall, and that same hot wheel’s track, now life-size.


You board the roller coaster car, modeled after the Honey, I Shrunk Ourselves shark car hot wheels. You are then launched into an adventure of theming and thrills. Airtime hills crest over a giant anthill and old baseball. Low to the ground/high speed turns swerve around giant grass blades while dodging giant bug animatronics. You slow and enter an enclosed mole hole tunnel. You feel a strong wind and hear sounds effects for a lawnmower. A light at the end of the tunnel reveals the mower blade just as you launch into it. You drop just before the blade and transition into a classic hot wheel loop, some high-speed over-banked turns, and an upward helix around the giant oatmeal cookie.


The final break run has an enclosed show with Wayne's voice saying, "There you are!". Lights and lasers denote Wayne's attempt to turn you back to normal. As you deboard, the exit queue has you walk through a miniature city revealing you've been accidentally blown up. A gift shop sells a hot wheels track with the exact layout of the ride and onride photos.
