Rumor MK Space Mountain REVISED in 2026? (One track? side-by-side seating?)

[Brer Oswald]

I agree that the facade will be fine, but I honestly think at this point, the only true safe things are figment, mansion, and pirates with the merch they sell. It’s become obvious that at Walt Disney World, nothing is sacred. If they can get away with muppet *vision, they can get away with anything.



It’s the hope that kills you moth. Not now. I don’t think.

Although I could hypothetically you know what getting pushed up as an “we’re sorry” olive branch to the fandom for how mad they’ve made us. But that’s just me.

Muppetvision? Seriously? That’s the sacred cow? Not the major E tickets or the whole river that’s been there since opening?

I’d guess the exterior discussion is not just looks and upgrades, but also one of practicality.

I wonder what kind of access they would need to accomplish what they want to do. But that isn’t even clear yet.

No it wouldn’t. That problem would still exist with the current set up. They can easily fill every seat despite odd numbered groups. Cosmic Rewind isn’t sending empty seats.

They did one morning. My BG was called during early entry and there were a total of 2 people in the preshow room including me.

I think you know that’s not my point. Obviously they send empty seats if there are no guests to put in them.

Ugh, I’ve waited a long time for this. But I’m not totally onboard with the new single track idea. The inline rockets and dual-track system, I mean say what you want about it but I just really like it even in comparison to the other versions, and it’s also why I appreciate Matterhorn Bobsleds. I honestly feel it could be even better than the Anaheim and Hong Kong locations if they just retracked both sides and added new projection effects and onboard audio, because then it would be along the lines of the great ride experiences of those two but with actual drops. IMO replacing it with a brand new layout would disrespect the OG Space Mountain. But then again, welcome to modern Disney. Nothing is sacred.

I think one thing that isnt being brought up enough is the redundancy that two tracks offers. It is rare we see space mountain go down for a longgg time as a whole becuase they can work on the one track (off hours obviously) while the other one can continue to operate. Also if true this almost certainly means a lengthy closure of the peoplemover which is a big people eater itself. I feel like this would be more likely to worked on after some notable capacity is added either with a new attraction in stitches place or maybe even waiting untils cars is done.
Regardless of what happens, upon opening, the new cars attraction and villains land will undoubtedly make tommorrowland look even more dated than it is right now, akin to how SGE made animation courtyard look even more like a sore thumb than it already was. Even new fantasyland I think started this awhile back considering you can see one area from the other.
