I honestly don't know how long I've been looking for this at this point so i doubt it can be found anywhere and i'm not sure if this even counts as lost media but i thought id create a thread anyway because I'm out of ideas for what to do
I'm guessing one of the reasons its so hard to find anything about the ride is because the it's pretty old and doesn't even exist anymore and they were probably trying to hide it from disney since they literally used the same name, song, and some props are nearly identical to the actual ride, but they ended up finding out anyway and actually jokingly counted it as an official version, you need to scroll down a bit but you can see it here
the soundtrack is from the ripoff at suzhou amusement land. i've searched through a lot of websites and found a few more povs of the ride but still nothing relating to the soundtrack except for the maybe something on the internet archive page on the ride
i checked inspect element to see if i could find anything and it says that there's a video but i wasn't able to get it to play, but i translated the text on the page and it says
"The Disney replica project of the same name in the United States is the first of its kind in China. Visitors can take an indoor rail-carried boat and enjoy the cultural landscapes of famous cities, the characteristic scenery of forests in various countries, and the biological world deep in the ocean along the way, making people forget to return."
i got a lot of help from a friend who was able to hear a lot more parts than i was able to so i made a recreation of what the track would probably sound like
i also found this which has similar vocals and instruments which i think might've inspired the audio but it still isnt the same
another thing thats kind of off topic but still relates to the ride is that they very likely copied the clock parade from the actual ride as well
but there are no pictures or footage of it and the only evidence i found that it exists are this picture where you can see tracks around the doors and mechanisms on the side to open them and a small bit of text that said there might've been one
considering that it didnt work in the version with the text which is some time around the 2000s, im guessing it only worked in the 1997 version which i found this picture (top) and i found this footage from 1998 that doesnt show the clock parade so i think it mightve only worked in 1997

a few other things i found were this video that wouldn't play and a while ago i found someone asking if anyone had the soundtrack but i didnt save it because it was before i was more serious about finding the soundtrack and nobody responded
