Seatbelts and programed drops. It's had two or three incarnations concerning that.

They still are random. The program has made it so that not even they know how many drops or how far that there will be on one ride. The computer picks the distance and the numbers of times. I very well might be different every time you ride it.

So, a lot of "No changes, except..."
What's the short list of No Changes to the Ride (queue changes not factored in)?
MK
1) Peter Pan (the color of hair on a mermaid is not a ride change, they don't pitch it as Arial)
2) TeaCups (They didn't used to have a roof over them the first couple of years, but the ride is the same)
3) Pooh (Same ride but different queue)
4) Swiss Family Robinson Tree House
5) Philharmagic
6) Small World (queue changes but no change to the ride)
7) Dumbo
8) Magic Carpets
9)
EPCOT
1) Images de France
2) All the current restaurants are the same layout as opening day or for new ones the day they opened
Disney Studios
1) Indy
2) RnRC
3) TSMM
AK
1) Triceratops Spin
2) TtbaB
3) Africa & Asia animal walks
Any others?

Just for clarification.... Philharmagic, is a recent arrival at MK. I think it showed up around 2004 (give or take) and is in the auditorium that once held the Lion King Show and before that the Mickey Mouse Review. Small World queue is different, but, and I can't prove this, perhaps @marni1971 can join in, I think that some of the dolls have been changed and perhaps a couple of countries that have "disappeared" are now changed. Not really sure about that. Dumbo went from I think about 10 Dumbo's to 16 and then moved to an entirely new location in what used to be Toontown and became two of the same ride. As far as just going around in circles, that part has stayed the same.

So that's where Timekeeper was, god I hated that ride. I knew If you Had Wings was before Buzz, wasnt aware of the other two being there.

It's not quite that complex. There are four drop sequences. The computer randomly chooses one of those four. Each time it chooses a particular sequence, it will be the same every time.
this is actually the 5th version of ToT.
Original - 1 drop
2nd - 1.5 drops
3rd - "Twice the Fright" - 2.5 drops
4th - "Fear Every drop" - multiple drops
5th - (current) "Never the Same Fear Twice" - four drop sequences with multiple drops
Also, in 2010, the ride got an entirely new drop sequence for the "Summer Nighttastic" promotion that was only used then.

Yea, a couple of the horses had to be shot when they broke their leg.
Sorry, sometimes I cannot control the evil side of me.

Three actually, but to be honest it is hard to remember what was different about them. I know somethings were but it is all blurred together in my head. I know that they stopped mentioning the sponsor names when they pulled out...what else changed, I really don't remember.

Yes, it has to because that's where the picture is taken.

I wouldn't put Small World on a "no changes" list considering that major refurb that updated the loading room also changed the direction the ride flows, from clockwise to counter clockwise. You still see essentially the same scenes in the same order, but I still feel like it's going the wrong way 'round whenever I ride.

MILF= Monster’s Inc Laugh Floor. That would be one good joke to send in!
Anyway, I have no idea what attractions haven’t changed at least a little… all I know is that I love each and every ride!

Hmmmm! I don't remember it ever running in a different direction. When would that have been? WDW was open 11 years before I went for the first time, so I'm not ruling it out, I just don't remember it any direction other then the way it is now. Wouldn't they have had to completely redo it to get the scenes in the same order? Why would they do that? Sorry about so many questions but you have excited my curiosity.

I don't think the ride direction ever changed...it's just the entrance/exit that changed.

Your mind is tricking you. Possibly because they have changed the side from which people board.

Rock n Roller Coaster had some audio changes in the early 2000's I believe. Instead of hearing Uncle Joe Benson on the news radio, you hear Bill St James now. Also every train has a countdown. Only 2 of them had it when the ride opened. They have turned down the volume of the tire screech sound effect as well at launch to the point where you can't hear it unless you really listen. Most likely because it's out of sync and they haven't bothered to fix it.
