However, I noticed the "space box" they have been carrying since 1975 is not there (just yet:confused:)

Are you talking about that really big box? I thought that was a FexEx prop added in the 90's. If you're talking about that little camera-on-a-stick looking thing, isn't that what the astronaut on the right has now?

Nice news, nice report. I see in the pics the hill cameras are fired up now - see the dull purple ring around the lenses? IR LED.

The very top of the exterior cone is pearly white. It looks like there is a lift bucket on the north (Toontown) side lower cone, but I didn't see workers.

I took a few pictures of SM with my iPhone on Wednesday. They're not the best, but you can see how white the top is compared to the rest of the mountain.

Yeah, saw that! :D And what was that last announcement "Attention Space Travelers..."? Sounded like the old TTA Speil.
Yay!

I think they have to seeing how mismatched it REALLY looks, now.
Exactly. Let's hope they see common sense.

Looks like the same shooting star effect from before.
Wonder if the meteors are still floating around up there....
Wait. There's a real "outer space" OUTSIDE of Space Mountain? That's blowing my mind there.

I would take what Disneyland has any day.
Wow. Yeah, pretty sure he was joking there, chief. You just don't let up on that, do you? I still WAY prefer WDW's astronauts over onboard audio and exterior lighting. ;)

AND YES, before the Disneyland nut jobs chime in, I've seen, ridden, and waited in line at Disneyland's SM.



Anyway...I think I would prefer that our SM here in WDW stick with the white and blue light motif they've had going on for quite some time. I have some pretty amazing pics of the WDW SM with the current lighting scheme and a dirty mountain. With a clean mountain, it can only look even more spectacular at night.

Was that part of the old narr? Interesting.


Common sense!? With TDO!? Whatathought!:lol:


(Seriously, they already started....They'll finish. :lol:)

So far the refurb looks really good! Thanks for the updates. It appears to me that the exit spot where the moving walk way is on the video is different, no?
