New lighting at Space Mountain

[marni1971]

Looking at the state of the ones in the hub, I would expect much on these.

Sad but true.

I still cant believe that the poles are visible during daytime, and how badly everything is arranged on the poles. It is shocking for that to be in the MK.

Is it really that shocking anymore?

Yes.

Complacency isn't an excuse for bad show.

The old set up for comparison, from roughly the same monorail angle:

At least SM should shine brightly again on the Contemporary side. As noted earlier in the thread, it's been rather dark in recent years.

Looking at this picture makes me wish they'd paint the blue segments along the bottom black. Thing would look like the space shuttle.

I meant is it really that shocking management doesnt care about these things? I agree that is an eyesore.

Sorry. Misunderstood you.

So it looks like Disney did not drop the ball on this surprisingly the LEDs are color changing and it really looks very nice.

CarouselOf on Twitter is saying they're are also testing out the new Carousel of Progress lighting package along with Space Mountain.

Now if they would only work on the inside.

Careful what you wish for. With our luck they will gut the 2 tracks and replace it with one and the wait times will double. Oh and lets not forget that it will take them 2 years to do it.

Even they are not that stupid and didn't the Disneyland Refurb last two years?

Oh, be still my beating heart if this is true.

Now, is it too much to hope that the PeopleMover's full spectrum LED's might get put to good use? Doesn't have to be anything complex - even just slowly fading between 2 or 3 colors every few minutes would be great. Or imagine if the lights on SM, CoP (if they're full color LED) and PM could be coordinated and/or change in sync...
