They should have just waited and put Cosmic Rewind there and used the space in EPCOT for something better.

I mean, I will not be upset if they can get Space Mountain to limp through its 50th and be gutted for a launching Omnicoaster that would open in 2028. I’ll be pretty bummed if it’s called anything else other than Space Mountain Mission 2.

It needs to be gutted but I really hope they do what Disneyland did. Brand new tracks with the same basic layout and brand-new effects. I love our layout. We get actual drops!

Oh, I'm not really advocating to replace Space Mountain -- but if they were going to replace it, I'd rather see Cosmic Rewind there with something different at EPCOT.

I wouldn't love TRON at EPCOT either, but it would fit better than Cosmic Rewind if they included some additional pavilion activities around it relating to computers and the digital world.

Would be a terrible idea. Reimagine unpopular rides. Refurbish not rebuild.

Maybe tokyo is testing the waters first and after it opens it will come to MK? Personally I get the love for SM but the tokyo concept drawings look amazing and if they did that in MK....I would be ok with that.

Do we expect the Lightning lanes for this last 3 weeks post launch, when the non-resort window opens, or will they sell out to the resort guests. I know Rise of Resistance and Flight of Passage, are longer rides oppose to a coaster. Cosmic rewind hype seemed to die down quick. Just trying to plan out for going to Disney on Saturday 4/22, and Monday 4/24. Debating on whether it is worth it to stay on Campgrounds the night prior to just get the 7am start for Lightning Lane for whichever day we decide on MK. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Any chance they use the walled off arcade space for expansion for the gift shop? Or did they re-use that former space in some other way? Always thought it was crazy they just walled it off and pretended like it was never there.

I still don’t see the value of the arcade building. It seems useless as a shop. If it’s meant to be the entrance and exit for both TRON and Space Mountain, they probably won’t have much floor space for merchandise, right?

I really hope lockers are closer but not a big deal. I'd rather they built a locker building in the spot they have the lounge in shanghai...which would place it between the bathrooms and tron building

You don't see the value to the company of having two attractions using a merchandise store area as an exit flow?

There is a lot of space in there for merchandise compared to many attraction exit stores. There is plenty of space for both to exit through and increase revenue. What sucks is it further homogenizes merch and atmosphere that has already been going on.

Locker access after will be interesting if they choose to share exits. I don't know how many people carry their wallets on rides. But those that don't have a wallet or magicband will automatically skip purchasing unless they want to backtrack. We've skipped purchases many times at other parks that have gift shop exits just because of that.
