So, has anybody ever disclosed whether all those statues are anatomically correct? Disneyland's figures are not, I hear, but I suspect a lot of buyers are going to find out firsthand, soon. :)

But seriously, I really lament the passing of any longstanding attraction like that. One thing that strikes me, though, is that a number of the films whose scenes they depicted are not even available on DVD, notably "Trader Horn," which was the forerunner of the Tarzan movies. You would think that the movies they chose would be all classics that would be the first to be reproduced in any new medium. Another such example is "The Singing Nun," whose scene I remember from my 1976 visit, and whose movie I never saw.
