[MisterPenguin]

Average wait for the day so far (an hour, 10 minutes more to go)... 60 min.

As of 7pm, 55 mins wait at Tron versus 15 mins at Space Mountain.

Crazy.

Not terribly crazy, as one won't be sending you to the chiropractor.

The shakiness of space mountain makes it better, not worse

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the posted 100-min wait at the start and end of the day are deceptive. They exaggerate waits at the start to deter a mob from forming, hence moving them elsewhere. At night, they exaggerate to prevent having to run the ride longer than they want to after park close.

Seems a very light day at MK today.

TRON is currently at 20 mins, and Seven Dwarfs at 30

Party Day! (Always go to MK on a party day!)

Judging from yesterday it looks like Tron decimated Space's line all day except for when it was raining and all the outdoor rides were shut down.

And the 7am VQ for TBA lasted 14 minutes!

I wonder if this will have any long term effects on space.

I'm sure a big fixer-upper has to be in the cards at some point now.

I'm sure a big fixer-upper has to be in the cards at some point now.

Of course, but with the probable shorter lines, I wonder if it’s just a simple retrack like planned, or will it become a whole Tokyo style, new coaster entirley rebuild?

We'll see, I hope it motivates them to finally give it some TCL and re-track it. It's going to be 50 years old next year and hasn't had a major refurbishment since 2009.

Reminds me of the good ol' days.

One would hope.

If they change star tunnel loop, i riot.

 

[Andrew25]

Unless they're willing to wait until post-Villains/Cars (2030+), ideally now would be the time to refurb it. Not really losing much capacity from Tom Sawyer/Riverboat closures, so you have a few years to work on it until Villains/Cars open.

I would be okay with a change of the track and vehicles into something more modern (DL or similar), but I have a feeling the if they tore down the facade like at Tokyo, people would riot (and also right now, they wouldn't spend the money on that big of a refurb). The only reason that DL got the facelift in 03-05 was because the track was structurally unstable, so I wouldn't expect too much of a change unless there is a major change in executives (and hasn't that been said before).

My fear with the lower wait times is Disney would be incentivized to intentionally run Space with less capacity. They already do it at park open.

I think they only want 1 tier 1 ride down at a time. Pan>Jungle Cruise> Big Thunder> Space
