^ Ahh I see I see.

You've pretty much summed up all of the new effects with the exception of the new surround sound system in the cars (if your just a technical freak like me). The big rock you see is not part of the daytime effect. That is infact one of the many floating astroids/meteroids/comets revolving throughout the ride for Rockit Mountain. Basically its painted with that blacklight paint so all of them will give off a glow I guess for the night time version. If I'm not mistaken, it will give off the same effect of the glowing asteroids of the Older version of Space Mountain Paris (I have not been on it before, but some tell me that the asteroids glow) while theres a light show going on with the tune of the rock soundtrack. As much as a fan I am about Disneyland, do NOT believe in all the hype. It will NOT be mindblowing. Its just something "new" to do at Disneyland (They are going to open this when they release the new drop program for HOrrible Tower" in summer of 06). Although I "AM" quite interested in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie add-on to the classic ride. Oh last thing. I didn't see in your update about the Fireworks show "Remember dreams come true". You did see it did you? I think its an Awesome show and IMO shouldn't be missed.

Hey guys! I'm a great fan of your site. Thought I'd make a post. About Space, what they did and took them a good 2 years was basically take out ALL tracks, and footers and etc. and replaced all of them with new ones, hence the "smoother track". Theyve also added a new soundtrack, new trains from Tokyo (I think). Also they boarded up the viewing windows making the overal ride much darker. So its basically the same layout, just more added effects. Now, what you saw was just the "daytime" version. IF you guys didnt know already, in summer 2006 they will be opening the "nighttime" version of SPace mountain, "Rockit Mountain". So daytime you get the regular space, and at night you get some kind of "Rave/rock and roll" version at night with different soundtracks. Rumor has it that its a cross between the OLD Paris Space Mountain and Rockin Rollercoaster. (Of course without the loops) Okay! Hope that helps! This site rocks!
