So I am currently in the process of watching this video.
And it just has me wondering, what went wrong during the "big" 2009 refurbishment? Obviously there were budget cuts, but for what was changed it seemed like it didn't need to be closed for as long as it did. Space mt. is my favorite ride, however I can even admit that it needs to be brought into this century. I highly doubt Disney would close it again for a lengthy and deserving refurbishment, but it is basically the exact same ride it was when it opened. Well at least the same ride as it was when I first rode it circa 1998 ish. Reading about the proposed list of upgrades and seeing what we got, is just a damn shame. Disney World makes so much money off it's guests, and they can't properly maintain and refurbish its rides?
So I guess the purpose of this is just to hear what the beautiful and often times rational minds of the wdwmagic community think about this classic attraction. I know a lot of people prefer the Disneyland version, and I get it! I didn't at first, but after riding it many times I get it, although I still prefer the WDW version. But what do you think could improve it? A complete overhaul, or simply going back in and adding these enhancements that were at one time apart of the "big" 09 refurbishment? What needs to be done to make space mt. the top space mt. in the world. Ready? Set! Discuss!!
