robbalvey Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 IMO, this doesn't fit Space Mountain...AT ALL!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKgapBY0K8s Thoughts? --Robb "Rockin Space Mountain at Disneyland just made the WDW version that much better!" Alvey
SharkTums Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 I mean, it's like they're trying to turn it into Rock n Roller Coaster, but the plot doesn't work, and there's so much talking cause of the lift hills, it's just horrible!!!!
vjgx Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 That just looks... really awkward. Seriously... That was a bad move on Disney's part. California Screamin' should be okay... but Space Mountain was NOT made for this.
easytoremember Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 So what did they try and do here? Make a combination of Space mountain and rockin rollercoaster. What ever they did looks kinda lame.
coastrfreak2000 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 If only Walt Disney could see what's happening to his parks now...
exmouse Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Don't like the radio host element to the sound track. Can't really tell much from the video as to what the new effects are like but the music doesn't really suit at all. Really need to be something a bit more sci fi or dancey. It seems a poor mans retro fit rock n roller coaster. I love RnR with the Love in an Elevator train. Dropping off the mid course brakes with the line "going down" works so well.

Wes Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Only four months...only four months...only four months...
TheBannedKid Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 It's still better than the WDW Space Mountain... No, it pretty much sucks.
exmouse Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Robb why not add traffic to this video instead Much better quality as you can see the special effects more clearly.

It doesn't work in Universe of Energy over at Epcot either. I think Disney has a radio host obsession when it comes to rides that they are trying to update...
MisterP Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 At least they didn't pick any of the Jesus..god..awful Chili Peppers music produced since that 1989 album (except maybe Blood SugarSexMagic in '91). Seriously.....did another band ever go from the penthouse to the sh*thouse as violently as these sellouts?!?!? Now Disney?!?! Are these the same guys who played their live shows with tube socks over their genitalia in the 1980s?!?!
niiicolaaah Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Seriously.....did another band ever go from the penthouse to the sh*thouse as violently as these sellouts?!?!? How about Green Day? ::goes to check out the video::
The Cheat Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I mean, it's like they're trying to turn it into Rock n Roller Coaster, but the plot doesn't work, and there's so much talking cause of the lift hills, it's just horrible!!!! The plot is AMAZING!! You go into space and you listen to a concert while you watch people dance on walls and they shoot some light in your eye. I love it.
Jew Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 This is why marketing/corporate tools have no business making decisions in theme parks...

The plot is AMAZING!! You go into space and you listen to a concert while you watch people dance on walls and they shoot some light in your eye. I love it. Wasn't that the plot of Episode I?
MisterP Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 How about Green Day? When was Green Day actually original punk and not derivitave? That's what they are!!
UberBeavis Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Maybe they'll add a "Sock Man" character walking around Tomorrowland?
DATman Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 ^^^ Episode 1 had a plot? Since when? I think that, while the radio host is really terrible, the effects look like they'd be a lot of fun. I honestly think we really can't judgefrom a video, as a dark roller coaster never really gives a good POV...
kenshinmac Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Is this permanent or is it going to be evenings only eventually? If it is permanent it sucks... If it is evenings only I'm ok with it... Hopefully they are gonna get better fitting music eventually.
Wes Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 ^ It's only scheduled to be around for four months, from now til' April. I think they know it's not a great addition, so they're just doing it in the off-season to drum up more local attendance.
rbpia Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I think the title of the thread says it all: Rockin Space Mountain...Um Yeah. Ron "Can't wait until they come out with Redneck Country Space Mountain" Patton
JT3000 Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 That looks hilariously lame. What, they couldn't afford to just build Rock 'n' Roller Coaster?
coastrfreak2000 Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I think the title of the thread says it all:Rockin Space Mountain...Um Yeah. Ron "Can't wait until they come out with Redneck Country Space Mountain" Patton Actually, that's on the agenda for Splash Mountain.
ScOtT k Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 --Robb "Rockin Space Mountain at Disneyland just made the WDW version that much better!" Alvey Robb, do you seriously think the florida version is better? It is so much rougher. Anyhow - the change looks terrible and I hate the new announcer.
