Any pics on Space Mountain's queue before the refurb?

[KBLovedDisney]

I have been looking everywhere and can't find any pictures of Space Mountain's queue before the refurb they did a few years back. It is when the queue was without the video games and such, and the line right before the track itself was not lit up by the black-light neon thing.

Anyone have any pics or links to where I can find the old queue?

In addition to this, does anyone have clear pictures of the old, pre-2009 lighted signs that were behind the loading stations?

I know your looking specifically for pre 2009...But, at least I found this one....It's not the best...

Warning!

It's awful quality. It's old. And it's video.

But here it is circa 2008

Ha! 1:33 of the video: I always get somewhat of a kick out of seeing those silver balls. All I can imagine is that those were possibly recycled McDonald's PlayPen/Jump pit balls that were just painted silver.

Sweet! The vids not blocked on my work computer. I can listen to it while working

Man the queue looked so much better without that ridiculous light and tv sets. Definitely was more spacey before the refurb, IMO.

@marni1971 I am ashamed to say that I am just now checking out your webpage with the other videos. These videos are amazing! Thank you for making my Friday!

Thanks Martin! This video had the exact shots I was looking for. Those signs look a lot cooler than the current ones in my opinion, at least the font.

I think interactive queues are a plus when they're done well. This was not done well.

First of all, while I'm not exactly sure what a space mountain is, I don't think egregrious video games fit well. Second, it requires you to be in the same place in line for an extended period of time. It seems the imagineers thought that everyone would be content stopping while the game is being played, and then moving ahead after. Well, more often than not, the guy behind you is ticked that you're "holding up the line."

It was an idea that's failed, and hopefully someday this part is restored to what it was or replaced with something better. Nice videos as always Martin.
