This was filed last month:

Disney - Space Mountain, Backstage - Tenant Improvement: Construct new exit stairs at exterior back house area with new exit passageway leading to stairs. Starcade floor (previously escalator/speed ramp) to be infilled. Modifications to existing operations office to include new ceiling, drywall, electrical, mechanical, and exterior facade.

The Starcade is on the West side of the Captain Eo Theater. If "Operations Office" means attractions, that is located on the second floor on the West side of Captain Eo.

Man, I wish the Magic Eye theater was gone and that great open air theater space was available again. This whole Space Mountain complex has never been quite right without it.

I agree, not only should they open up the Magic Eye theater like it use to be but re-arranged a couple things in the area.

1) Move Space mountain entrance to the opposite side using the first and second floor of starcade for indoor queue.
2) gut and tear out the pizza port and relocate anew eatery using the Magic eye theater footprint and leave a stage for live entertainment like it used to be. The old Captain EO queue in the back of the building would be repurposed to add a new kitchen.

3) use the area occupied by the pizza port including the outside eating area and the area used by the fastpass machines and build an indoor darkride for tomorrowland.


what this would accomplish,

better use of the land that surrounds Space mountain and open up the visual elements by removing the roof they added for the magic eye theater.
It would give Space mountain an extended indoor queue area

The eatery would be more centrally located and closer to the actual restrooms at the exit of Space Mountain. It would also give them a larger with stage facility for entertainment.

since the theater would be gone the side wall and exit doors that was added when the theater was enclosed would be eliminated allowing them to remove the exit queue divider/Planter that was added to push guests out of the theater. this would open up that corridor by doubling its size allowing for better guest flow in that area.

Sounds like Space Mountain's queue is being re-worked.

BLD2018-01545 Disney - Space Mountain, Backstage - Tenant Improvement: Renovate 5000 sq. ft. existing interior space to a conditioned queue area. Reconfigure exiting queue on roof deck. Associated electrical and finish modifications

BLD2018-01546 Disneyland - Storybook Land Canal Boats - Tenant Improvement: Install (1) new light pole with footing and existing .
YOU GUYS! SPACE MOUNTAIN IS GETTING A 5,000 SQUARE FOOT INDOOR AIR CONDITIONED QUEUE! THIS IS MAJOR! Each guest is given 1 square meter in the calculation of indoor queues. 5,000 square feet converted to square meters is roughly room for 464 people! EPIC. Not as epic as the 1600 I was expecting it to handle when I did the math in my head but that is good for about 30 minutesworth of indoor queuing.

I was excited to see this too. So do you think they re covering part of the exterior queue or is this going to be in the starcade? Part of me will miss the weird 70s vibe of the whole complex - although most of that will still be there.

I love all of them but I love the 4th slightly less. The 5th was a return to form and at least it's a pretty enjoyable movie but I guess I can understand the fatigue most people (and critics) have.

Honestly, I rank the movies in (almost) chronological order.
1. Curse of the Black Pearl
2. Dead Man's Chest
3. At World's End
4. Dead Men Tell No Tales
5. On Stranger Tides
I would swap 3 and 5 in this list personally

Would anyone be opposed to just ripping the dome off entirely and replacing it with an identical new one that doesn’t have awkwardly-implemented fall protection solutions and a history of mangled paint jobs and grime?

Are you referring to the third dome they added? Honestly, I forget it's even there. Much like the higher railing on SBC's bridge.
