Spoiler:

Not unless there's another sci-fi movie that features an equally popular Disney theme

Spoiler:

I think MousePod is reffering to the fact that the score might have changed in the films incarnations. Seeing it in the original theatrical release vs ten years later.
I wonder, did the soundtrack in fact change? In my memory other things about the film did.

Spoiler:

Actually, I was thinking of that but chose to address it the other way. Since Mouepod PM'd me the correct answer he gets the prize. From his information, it does matter when you saw it.

Well, then, MousePod must post the correct answer for all to see, don't you think?

[Ponine]

Well if MousePod pm'd the right answer, I'll stick my neck out and see if I was right too.

I think the movie is Close Encounters of the Third Kind,
Using When you Wish upon a star,
Original score by John Williams.
song composer .. I have now lost.

But I'm wondering, wasnt a version also in another Speilberg film?

And, I think the song left the film when it came to dvd, thats my thoughts on it.

AND.. I have no trivia to post.

Hey Ponine, that's what I had.

Since there's no question on the table right now, I'll toss another music question out there:

There's a piece of music on a Disney attraction that was intended by the composer to play through the entire attraction (in one form or another, with the chord progression unbroken). Once the attraction was completed, however, the theme was interrupted by a short twisted version of a piece of music from a famous opera.

Name the attraction and the composer. For bonus points, name the music used in the 'interruption' and its source.

Big Hint:

Spoiler:

The music also stops at another point in an early part of the attraction IRL, but does not in the new Disneyland 6-CD set.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I got it.

Spoiler:

You gave it away with "twisted".

Haunted Mansion
X Atencio's Grim Grinning Ghosts
Interruped by "Here Comes the Bride"
I didn't know which opera/composer though. I can give you a googled answer but what's the point?

Trivia in a minute.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

What was the last Disneyland attraction that was given the greenlight by Walt himself?

[Not Afraid]

Space Mountain?

Edited to Add: I guess it depends on how you count "last". I don't mean last to open, but last to begin development.
