I think my friend will go to his death thinking he saw the Hall of Presidents in Disneyland!
When I was a kid, I wondered why they took out this cool looking 'white paper-cut-out with rainbow effect' scene from IASW.
That scene was from JII (the original with Dreamfinder)

So I'm reading this thread I was thinking I've got this old memory from being a kid and standing in a line for a ride. No idea what, no idea where, but I remember you could see this big thing across the room where you could see ride vehicles go into it and they came out the other side small.
After seeing your post and wondering what Adventure Thru Inner Space was, I came across the photo of the queue of the microscope and went "That's it!... that's what I remember!"
But the crazy thing.... I've also never went to Disneyland when it was open. I've been once in 2007. So now I'm wondering where the heck did this memory come from??
In my memory the line we were in was just a long straight line along a wall and the machine looked to be behind glass. I always pictured it more a like Tron scene too. Maybe I saw it on tv/video as a kid and just warped into my own memory. So weird...

Since several of us have the same memory of riding it, but not riding it, I think I have the explanation.So I'm reading this thread I was thinking I've got this old memory from being a kid and standing in a line for a ride.

I remember a narration in the TTA that was fun and clever, and not a wasted beige anything-but-"out of this world" wimpy-voiced nothing.
I remember when the voice of Spaceship Earth was mysterious and not school-marmish.
I remember when Mexico had a boat ride that was respectful and clever with a deep sense of mystery instead of 3 screaming birds.
I remember when World Showcase had an amazing and inspired parade with fantastic music and huge floats and puppets.
I also remember a time when a visit to Disney did not require constant monitoring on cellphones, but instead involved mad dashes around the parks to obtain magical pieces of manila that got you on rides without waiting in line.
Okay, low blows, but all true.
What I truly do recall when my son was 4 was being able to go back and forth on Peter Pan and Small World with no lines on either one. It was the first week of November, 2003. I doubt that ever happens anymore. That and the amazing pork shanks at Gaston's Tavern.

I was about to say...dang dude. All in the feels today.
This may be a mismemory or this might be something that they still do at Epcot: I remember when we were leaving Epcot, the park just closed and they played really cool (cool at the time...I was a kid) Exit Music while we were leaving.
...do they still do this actually?

Ha! My version of "cool" is definitely not another one's version of "cool". Guess I might have worded that wrong. Like, what was once awesome 90s exit music (that might be somewhat cringy today). Think they might still use this kind of music for the Fantasmic show.Not sure I'd know what cool music is any more
Ok, I seriously faceplamed. I just used the words "cool" and "awesome". And now I just feel soooo lame. So very lame.
I am such a 90s kid that it hurts.

My father took us to WDW when I was in third grade.
I rode 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and was hooked on it just by sight.
A couple of years later we went to Disneyland where I rode 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea again.
Or so I thought.
For decades.
I could swear that the Hopper Goff subs were at DL too.
Well, just a year or two ago I got some old home movies transferred onto DVD.
There was some Disneyland footage on there (cool!) but, what of those subs?!

One of my fondest memories of just a couple of years ago, was my son Dean ducking when the boat turned around to reveal the natives with spears!

Well, they play the sound track from the last Epcot parade, which was called . . . . . I can't remember what it was called. Something like Festival of Parades or something. But it's really cool walkout music!

I remember a third "show" on GMR where the bank was on fire in the Wild West scene, but you didn't get hijacked until you got into the Alien scene, where a mechanic jumped on and left the tour guide to deal with the Alien coming out of the wall... Obviously never happened.
I also swear I remember there being a King Triton fountain in Fantasyland at MK but apparently that's only ever been a thing at DL...
Finally, I remember there being a hell of a lot more statues in that walk through section of Dinoland, as if to imitate a smaller version of the other walking trails.

Nah not that one, it was way different! here's a pretty awful artists recreation to get a good idea.

There was. They put him in the 20k lagoon on display alongside one of the subs after the closure and "Ariel's Grotto" was built.

I went to Disney with a friend in the early 90s and as we approached 20K, all excited to ride, there was the King Triton statue and I swear I remember him giving me "the finger".

A surprising number of people think that the Tower of Terror elevators used to move out of the drop shaft at the top and either drop outside the building or slide back in and then drop.
I attribute this to a few things: very old school Intamin drop rides had you ride up a shaft in a four person "elevator" which then moved forward at the top before dropping down a track. And also the fact that a lot of the original promotional art for Tower of Terror showed the elevator outside of the building.
