The Space Mountain signage is now green, a change from orange.
More details are emerging about the revamped Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom park. The coaster, remarkably the oldest one operating in Florida, has been closed since spring, and Disney World says it will be open to guests again as of Nov. 22. (As always, keep an eye out for news of soft opening in the coming days.)
Among the factoids appearing today on the official Disney Parks blog:
+ Riders will be able to have photo taken during the trip via the Disney Photopass. Disney has updated their post to say it will not be on the Photopass system.
+ New color scheme for the rides capsules, line and load areas (paint, carpet, seat fabric and such).
+ New technology in the track but preserving the previous feel of the coaster. Not a lot of explanation there.
+ Imagineer Alex Wright thinks folks will be pleasantly surprised by the enhancements. Lets hope thats in the Haunted Mansion pleasantly surprised way. Actually, real news would be if the Imagineer said the changes were unpleasantly surprising. We kid, we kid.
