I often wonder what happened to the interiors of that ride..where are the set pieces now? After getting the name right, "the magic pagoda", I looked it up, but unfortuantly two good web-pages are now defunct..

Near my house is an old junkyard, and in that yard one time I found some very interesting Disney relics, not for sale...I noticed one thing that was a sort of lattice/arm structure with a spinning chipmunk, then went to Disneyland and realized it was an arm from dumbo's flying circus..I also found a matterhorn bobsled and a giant jungle cobra statue/door that was in whatever attraction came before the Tahitian terrace resteraunt, or perhaps in an attraction near there..also, the coolest thing I found were streetlamps with gargoyles on top of them, that probably came from outside the haunted mansion..

Regarding the Magic Pagoda ride, I remember inside, a fake river you crossed a little bridge to get over, and then a chinese city in the background..I always thought it was something I dreamed up, because it was so long ago...I wonder what happened to some of the interior set pieces, are they in some storage place somewher, sold on ebay? In a junkyard?
A good mystery for an urban archeologist to solve!
