Do the closed Disneyland attractions get sent anywhere to be storaged or destroyed. If so where?

Alot of the mechanics get re-used-- like the audio-animatronics in "America Sings" are now in "Splash Mountain" and "Star Tours".
The stuff that is too far gone to re-use it trashed.
The rest goes into storage for future use.

As some have already stated, some parts are re-used in other attractions.
A lot of the parts are kept in storage in various places.
Or some are put on display. At TDA (Team Disney Anaheim), the big yellow building where the offices are and where people apply for jobs, etc...there was a People Mover "car" out there in front of the building for a while...I'm assuming it's still there (it was there the whole 4 years I worked in the park). I guess just for looks...anyway, it was fun to see it there. =) I've also seen other parts backstage in the warehouses...like some Sky buckets and whatnot. But most of that stuff is sent elsewhere to be stored. Also, I know that some of the stuff from the Submarine Lagoon went to some Cast Members I know. =P
And yeah, John Stamos is a big Disney fan and has bought quite a few "retired" pieces.

Yes, some items are re-used (like the previous poster said Audio-animantronics from "America Sings" can be found in "Splash Moutain" and as robots {without covers} in the queue for "Star Tours") and some are auctioned off or sold. At an auction during the 50th Anniversary celebration at Disneyland, many parts of the old submarine ride were auctioned off. "Peoplemover," "SkyWay," "Dumbo" and "Autopia" vehicles also have been auctioned off in recent years.
In fact, it's been reported that actor John Stamos has a "Peoplemover" car (just one car, not a train), a "Skyway" car, a "Dumbo," which he joked might be used as a planter, and the original Disneyland marquee which was on Harbor Blvd. until 1999.

fortunately the park truly hasn't been too crowded on sundays, yet in case you get there that early, i'd advise occurring to a journey that receives great lines. pick between area Mountain, Autopia, Indiana Jones, and star excursions. Matterhorn is closed until eventually June, so save that in thoughts. because you said area Mountain, honestly pass there first. i have not at all had the endurance for its line, so i have not been on it yet. in case you actually pick to have thrilling, get an annual pass. i became in a position to get the SoCal pass plus parking for $368. completely worth it notwithstanding. :)

At other amusement parks rides are always either scrapped or sold/relocated. But at Disney, I've never heard of one of their rides being relocated, which means that when they tear down a ride, its scrapped. The most probable reason for this is because Disney rides usually employ ridiculous amounts of theming (which causes the price to skyrocket, most Disney rides today can cost $100 Million) and a large footprint (space the ride takes up). For those reasons, other amusement parks wouldn't want Disney's used rides.
