Why is it that the WDW Space Mountain never had a soundtrack thru out the ride? They just refurbished it to.

Uh, well it DOES have music now. Just not IN the rockets.
Yeah in the que area and the post show. I mean the ride itself like the one in California.

No, there is a new audio system that plays during the ride.

It has an offboard audio system throughout the ride, switched on August 30th. It was partly installed as part of last years works, and completed and tested earlier this year.
The ride does not have onboard audio like California due to the budget being cut before last years refurb began. Originally it was to have had it until the money was cut.

I asked both of my cousins how the music was on SM and they both said there was no music a couple of weeks ago. They didn't just miss it cause they were looking out for it. Must have been an off day.

I can not wait to hear this offboard audio. The last time I was there they didn't have it yet, but maybe a week or two after I left they had finished it. I think the main reason why WDW space mt. didn't have audio is probably because it didn't really need it. DL's space needs all the effects it can get to make up for the boring layout and coaster that it is. Whereas WDW's space is actually thrilling and is a better definition of a roller coaster.
It wasn't there in april.
No, it wasn`t. As I said just 4 posts ago it was engaged August 30th. I was lucky enough to be there that day. The previous day the new lift hill audio fx were running in isolation, the following day the whole system was turned on.
Oh please. Don`t even. This one is blamed fair and square on Holmes cutting it. 2 Soundtracker systems were tested on the ride for months early last year. The audio was made to fit. It was ready to go with the Matterhorn prototype sleds modified to take speakers. Then it was dropped. Along with the other things too numerous to mention.

And again, it doesn't really need it. WDW's space mt. unlike the one in DL is actually a good roller coaster. All the extra stuff it got during the refurb was a plus but not needed with the exception of maybe the airgates.
Each to their own. I enjoy both. Well, all 3 if you count Paris. And found synced onboard audio added to the experience. I also loved Anahiem for what it is, with or without music. But that`s another topic.

The music audio is there.....barely.....I rode the ride a least 5 times in the past 10 days and was listening for it, and you can barely hear it.....you can hear the effect audio (when you go around curves and over bumps very well) but the music is almost unnoticeable....it is very easy not to hear....I've read all the posts and went in expecting music....and it's not anything what I expected....love the refurb though, Disney did a great job with everything except the audio.

It definitely added something to the one in DL because you're turning 90% of the time either going left left or right right with nothing else exciting happening. It would add to WDW's as well, but like I said there was nothing wrong with it to begin with it.

The audio has been on everyday since the end of August
I like the music, I think they could of used the money on some attractions that were really lacking but its good. I wish they would turn it up a bit.

Yeah, to be fair, the music is nowhere near loud enough, and if you're screaming and not knowing to listen for it, I can see how people could not notice it.
I'll never understand why Disney keeps so many attractions' audio volumes at "not quite loud enough"
