Tilt-a-whirl scene missing from DVD?

It's possible it was in the TV version, but it wasn't in the released video version. Either way, it's on the DVD as a special feature.

I personally remember two scenes being in the theatrical version that I never saw again, not on cable, not on rental, not on TV edits.

The first missing scene is near the beginning of the movie. In this scene while walking to school the next morning, after having his dream, Ben gives Wolfgang the plans he drew (Ben is walking his bike). The bully (who later fights Ben after school) runs up behind Wolfgang grabbing the back of his pants and tearing them to where half his pants are hanging off of him in front of the other kids walking to school who proceed to point and laugh at him, (much like the dream Wolfgang said he was having the night before). Wolfgang cries, "I'm going home and telling my mother I'm sick" or "I'm suddenly not feeling well, I'm going home", and then runs home.

This is what sets up the after school scene in which Wolfgangs mother says, upon inviting Ben and Darren into her home, "Wolfgang is feeling much better now". And explains why Wolfgang had all day to work on the "plans" while the other two were at school all day.

The second missing scene is, of course, the infamous tilt-a-whirl rolling down the steep street grade and crashing into, or ping-ponging off of, the cars parked on the street.

Both of these were in the version playing in the theater the summer this movie was released, as I did go watch the movie more than once at the theater. I also remember distinctly their absence from later versions as those were probably the most comedic scenes in the first 2/3 of the movie.

I've just always wondered why they cut both of those, maybe seeing River Phoenix partially in his tidy-whiteys was a bit too much for a kids movie, but cutting the second never made any sense to me.
