I remember one family trip to Disney World in which my brothers and I realized they took your picture at the end of Journey Into Imagination and then displayed still frames of the cars going by on a big screen a little later on (as opposed to having the picture sold to you for $17.95 in commemorative frame, so you know this had to have been the 80s when they had different ideas about how to drain your wallet dry.)
So we rode the ride again, and when we got to the picture part, we staged a terrible fight. I put my littlest brother David in a headlock and cocked a fist while Ryan reached over from the back seat and strangled me.
It was wonderful, that sight of watching that screen later on, watching the procession of cars full of smiling, waving tourists suddenly interrupted by a car full of Ma Parker's Boys engaged in one of our favorite pastimes: beating the snot out of each other. We got Stern Looks from the ride ops upon disembarking, even though we emerged from the ride looking and acting like Perfect Angels.
Now I kind of wish we'd had the opportunity to purchase the picture in commemorative frame for $17.95.
