New Space Mountain Starcade Queue - Open

[dweezil78]

Looks like work is complete on the new indoor queue bypass that makes use of the upstairs of the old Starcade and it was being used today. Can't remember the last time I actually waited in line for Space Mountain, but I'm sure being able to wait indoors for those who do will be most welcome on especially warm days like we've been having lately! Looks nice enough for what it is...

What I can see of it, it looks nice. Done quicker than I thought it would be.

Looks like an absolutely appropriate and logical use of an area that was being totally wasted. Nice.

Does this change any part of the previous queue set-up?

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

Now, I can't wait for what they do the the rumored change for the Matterhorn queue. I'm liking these changes in preparation of Galaxy's Edge opening. Most should have been done years ago.

It’s kind of hilarious but this and the new parking structure are more exciting to me than Pixar Pier and Star Wars Land. I think Disneyland’s been neglecting these small, logical fixes for a long time, and I’m so happy to see them come to light. Also, I LOVE that spaceship hanging from the ceiling! Very classic Tomorrowland.

No more air hockey. Sad. I like the new people mover windows.

The last time I waited in that queue was so many years back.

Now do this same extended queue on the other side and rebuild the speed ramp entrance.

What? I can dream.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

That is so slapped together.

Those giant space age serving tongs they have suspended from the ceiling look cool.

Much better than standing in the sun, I imagine.

Agreed. The fact that they deferred these types of overdue upgrades and land use reconfiguration proves to me that the execs running the parks for the last 10 years have NEVER waited in a Standby queue before and NEVER tried to park a car and get a stroller into the park on a Saturday morning.

They are probably terrified of what Star Wars Land will bring next year, and are now trying to play catch up. Welcome to the 21st Century TDA suits!

Better late than never is what I always say....

 

[Kram Sacul]

It looks adequate. Nothing more, nothing less. I was hoping that it would be like an extension of the existing Space Mountain queue but that was asking too much. Oh well.

If you read WD W N T, you would think the fans prefer to get Starcade back. Sometimes, the execs must tread carefully even if late. That Paradise Pier Pixar Pier thread is an example of why bother. Quite sad.

I’m looking forward to having the People Mover tracks removed as rumored. It’s never coming back. Get used to it.

 

[Model3 McQueen]

A little underwhelming but beats the outdoor portion.

It's "meh" at best.

 

[TROR]

Oh. That's it. Ok.

 

[mickEblu]

At first glance it looks better to me than the entire Space Mountain Q from the entrance to the load room. Everything up the load room leaves much to be desired and looks like a very generic plasticky spaceport.

 

[dweezil78]

I always assumed this would be comparable to the overflow room for Star Tours, and it pretty much appears to be exactly that. Were people really expecting some new, elaborate queue to appear in that space? I'm actually pretty shocked they even have that satellite thing hanging in there to be honest.

Well, they did kind of ruin it when they took out the windows and the wacky videos on the TVs. You also don’t get to stand in line in there too much because of stupid Fastpass.
