Backstroke Down The Bloodstream

[SirNadroj]

Inspired by the late Body Wars attraction in the now closed Wonders of Life pavilion at EPCOT Center, this MOC features a brave medical professional (shrunken) swimming deep within a patient's blood vessel, searching for the cause of the patient's ailment.

I invite you to watch this short video of the attraction here. It features a brief history, then the full-ride video (similar to Star Tours): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCOvrxYIlPg...re=channel_page

Thanks!

I've never been on the ride before, but the MOC looks amazing!

Great Idea and concept. Good use of the rubberbands.

Thats cool! uh what piece is that clear one that holds the minifig up?

Body Wars, don't remind me, I loved it, you made me sad.

Good MOC

Remind's me of the episode of The Simpsons where they spoofed this.

Oh wow! This is so cool. I definitely remember that attraction from years ago when I went to EPCOT. Thanks for posting such a cool MOC. Are those just viking horns over the red satellite dishes with rubber bands?

Okay Nadroj. I know I say this alot, but this is really one of the most interesting things I've seen from you. It's a great idea, and the blood cell is great. The virus, or whatever is clinging to it, is fantastic!

The light up tube from the early exo-force sets. Sir Nadroj is a lego genius! I really like your work.

Thanks for the feedback.

Nope, those new bionicle spiked, rubbery elements.

Close though.

Nice MOC! I haven't been to Epcot (let alone FL) in a long time... I was living there when they took out 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Mr Toads Wild Ride. What else is gone?

Remind's me of the episode of The Simpsons where they spoofed this.

I thought they were spoofing the movie Fantastic Voyage or Inner Space... Though I guess either way its the same concept.
