This is a hot topic on a couple of other boards. Mostly positive reactions.

Hahaha! I'm actually looking foward to it when we go in two weeks! It will be interesting to see how it is and varies from the standard.

hey, it worked wonders at WDW... i might go check it out next week... this week is just waaaay too busy...

 

[booeyjc]

Nope, it's true. I saw the commercial the other day. Either way the rides will still be awesome

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

I saw the commercial yesterday. The music sounded fun, so I'm looking forward to it.

 

[disney-super-mom]

I think the Red Hot Chili Peppers will add to the fun.

Oh my goodness... I guess I'm in the minority on this one. I just think it's sad to see a semi-classic like Space Mountain being turned into a rock concert-- lighting and all.

Its only for 4 months. Its not really any different then doing holiday overlays on Small world and Haunted mansion.

And think of all the poor folk on Rock'n'Roller Coaster at WDW, who have to put up with this ALL the time!

I see your point, but I respectfully disagree.
The HM and IASM overlays coincide with the underlying themes.
The SM "overlay" changes the entire theme of the attraction.

The only saving grace is that it's only four months long. Unfortunately, it's during the four months that I will be visiting.

We are at Crowne Plaza right now relaxing after a fun morning at Disneyland. My 16yo daughter, her 17yo boyfriend and my 12yo son rode Space Mountain last before meeting us for lunch and rest back at the hotel. They were sooo excited about the ride and told me about the Red Hot Chili Peppers song and lights during the ride. They said it is soo much better than the old Space Mountain.

My husband I were taking our 6yo daughter to do all the Princess stuff in
Fantasyland this morning, but we do intend on riding Space Mountain when we return to the park in a few minutes.

Oh, when we left at 1pm Disneyland was sold out.

They said it is soo much better than the old Space Mountain.

I have no doubt that it will be fun to ride. The problem is that it's no longer "Space Mountain".

Again, thank goodness it's only temporary...

Aww I know how you feel. When they first started talking about making changes in the Pirates I about flipped my lid! My favorite ride, it was perfect and fine as is! LOL

I ended up liking the changes (and these aren't going anywhere!). But part of me always doesn't want anything to change.

So yeah just be glad it will go back to normal in 4 months. That and it's not like losing the Country Bears! I'm still upset about that!

I think that sounds pretty cool, too bad we don't have another trip planned until October

It's not great quality, but there's a video up on YouTube now.

Rode SM today and it was awesome!!!!!

I highly recommend it.. It was so cool to have it a bit different. The lights inside make it really cool.. The music.. My cousin snad I rode it on 12/18 and then today 1/3 and liked it better this time..

Get your FP early though. At 10:30 am the FP was already for 5:15 pm..

Hey! Rockin Roller Coaster is one of my two fave rides at WDW!!! Anyway, I'm excited to try the new SM version in a few weeks!
