[The Timekeeper could be found at three different Disney parks around the world from the early 90s to the early-mid 2000s.
The first location to debut a version of The Timekeeper was Disneyland Park in Paris, opening on April 12th, 1992 and closing on September 5, 2004, with Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast taking its place.
The next debut took place almost exactly a year later at Tokyo Disneyland on April 15th, 1993. The Tokyo version closed on September 1st, 2002 with Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters taking its place. (Buzz is 2 for 2 so far in wiping this attraction off the map)
Finally, the version that we're going to be spending the most time discussing today, the Timekeeper attraction found at the Magic Kingdom location in Florida was established on November 21st, 1994 and held out the longest, finally closing on February 26th, 2006 to later be replaced by the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor, which opened on April 2nd, 2007 and remains open to this day. (as of recording this video, at least).
