I was looking at the entertainment schedule on Disneyland.com and noticed that Space Mountain will be closed for holiday installation in September. As far as I remember, Space Mountain has never been closed for this. Anybody know what they're doing?
It is for the new Ghost Galaxy Halloween overlay. This is the first year they are doing this at Space Mountain at the Disneyland Resort. They have done it before at the Space Mountain in Hong Kong. Supposedly if everything goes well this year, it will only take 3-5 days next year to switch over since much of the infrastructure will already be in place.
I tried to find a video on YouTube, but the few that found were pitch black and terrible, but you could hear the audio, sounded like a lot of growling and eerie music. Definitely get a fast pass as soon are you enter the park because Space Mountain is usually very busy and will probably be crazy busy with the lay over.
