Jasonflz's (small) Update 1/2/10

:lol: Tell that to 31 degrees. It didn't bother me as much at night as it did on Sunday, when I saw my breath. Still, I prefer it over the usual hot, Florida weather.
Unfortunately no Epcot. I only had a 1 day pass left and could only squeeze in MK and DHS. Next time I'm planning on going.




I did catch the original falling star effect, but past that I couldn't see any stars, meteorites, or any other projections. Really surprising, considering the effects all seem to work on the ride.

One more disappointing note, still no Star tunnel or music of any sort when passing the spaceship.

Since the new roof structures for the queue areas block so much of the PeopleMover's old view of the SM interior I think they need to add some star field lighting or some other simple special effects for above the PeopleMover tracks to enhance that portion of the ride. Overall, I prefer to have the new queue vs the PeopleMover view. There just needs to be some consideration to adding some simple effects along that portion of the PeopleMover track.

thats wierd. i was there a few weeks ago for the xmas party and i could swear its brighter inside due to the new star projections.

It seems the same brightness as before in terms of projections. With the queue enclosed it feels (and probably is) darker inside.

LUCKY
2 hours was the Most I've ever waited for space mountain and I swear I probably rode DL's and WDW's over 75 times in my whole life.:lookaroun

:lol: It's worth waiting for.

Agreed. It feels pointless to pass through if you aren't even going to see the stars and rockets (a shame that they removed the glow in the dark strips.

I always wanted the TTA tunnels to have a spaceship earth '94 fiber optic look to them. I would be happy with the star curtains from the current spaceship earth too. Seems like a lot of dark space now.

Glad you had a good time, thanks for the update.

^ Thanks. I fully agree that those fiber optic stars would look great in the TTA tunnel now. That and the star tunnel music.
