New Space Mountain pre-boarding video?

[PirateJeffWDW]

I heard they filmed a new video in Space Mountain after park hours last night to replace the decades-old video that plays in the queue near where the stand-by and Fast Pass lines merge. Anyone else know anything about this?

If true, it's about time. Those cheesetastic CG effects and 90s clothes may be hilarious, (To me, at least) but I think it needs to go.

I hope so, can't believe that wasn't part of the big refurb.

 

[breakin2]

This changes everything!

 

[Silver Figment]

Yeah, keeping the older video when they did the refurb seemed a tad out of place to begin with. I wouldn't be surprised if they did a new one.

Ugh... That 90's frizzy hair! Nothing is more outdated that queue video. It's about time!

OMG I love that video. Looks like I'm headed to Space Mountain after work tomorrow to watch the old video before it's too late.

Does any one know where this video would be? I have been on this ride a lot and never seen it.

Realistically speaking, it should've gone a long time ago. But it's just SO cheesy and 90's that I couldn't help but love it !!

Man, I just love that video, particularly when they go through the tunnel and are swaying from side-to-side, looking at each other. My sister and I often mimic the video for laughs when we are on the ride.

We were just watching that video and laughing on Sunday. So early 90s!

Yes! A trip isn't complete until we recreate that video.

Ahh... I'm so glad to find that I'm not the only one who reenacts the video!

It's a wonderful piece of nostalgia, and is hilarious for all the wrong reasons. It will be missed, but this will definitely be a good change that should have taken place when they did the rehab.

They have a pre-video? Never noticed it

It is on the left side of the queue line right before the control tower.

Interesting

Yes, they did do a shoot last night at Space Mountain.

Never knew of this preshow, and I've been through that line countless times. I guess if it's located on the left side, then it's easier to miss since I normally go on the right side.

I think they are referring to the video that plays just as the queues merge, as you leave the hall and enter the "main queue" area. It's the one with the cheesy 80s effects of space mountain with the Seaver (yeah, I know it's not really them) family from Growing Pains riding it.

I know where that area is, but never noticed a video. I tend to have tunnel vision in WDW, so I don't notice things like these sometimes!
