Big Lipped Alligator Moment/Theme Parks

No, it's not The Theme Park Version of a Big Lipped Alligator Moment...that's a totally different concept altogether.


 * At one point on the Disneyland Railroad, between Tomorrowland and the Main Street Station, the train passes through a tunnel displaying stuffed wildlife in a model of the Grand Canyon followed by animatronic dinosaurs fighting in a lava pit. Like some other park attractions, Disney created these exhibits for the 1964 World's Fair and couldn't bear to part with them, but this is never explained by the train ride's narrator (nor is the tunnel mentioned aside from when you pass through it). The context might have been improved a little if they'd placed it somewhere near Frontierland, but it would still be jaw-droppingly random.
 * Putting the Grand Canyon portion near Frontierland would have made some sense. The dinosaur portion, not so much.
 * DLRR is pretty much an alternating sequence of tour bus - BLAM - tour bus - BLAM:
 * Between the New Orleans Square and Toontown/Fantasyland stations, the train goes through Splash Mountain... the portion near the end, where all the Song of the South characters are gathered on a riverboat singing Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah. New Orleans ... riverboat ... I guess. It's still weird.
 * Just after leaving Toontown/Fantasyland station the train passes by the Small World ride. Passengers who look on the opposite side will see a billboard that says "Agrifuture" and some potted plants. It's not especially big or showy, and is never mentioned in the ride's narration, though it's in a location that can't really be seen well from anywhere but the train.
