Don't be so quick to jump on the hater bandwagon. :wave:I second that.There is nothing special about the new rides!

Well I was under the impression that the DL refrub took so long because it went down due to something serious that would not be safe. So basically they were not planning on it.
Hopefully they did alot of work before WDW SM closed. Thats what Im hoping anyways.

Not exactly.
Disneyland's gut-and-rebuild was completely planned. However, due to...umm...unforseen issues, the ride closed unexpectedly about 4-5 months before they had planned to close it. They had hoped to have it open for that summer, but instad had to close in April of that year. It pretty much sat there until time for the scheduled refurb to begin.
The actual refurb took so long, because it just takes a while to tear down a huge jigsaw puzzle of track, supports, ride system and show elements, then rebuild it from scratch. All of this done by moving it in through a large hole in the side of the building. (See photo.)

Nothing to report on the back side of Space except a temporary security gate that does not look occupied and a security SUV that drives by what seems like every 5 minutes. I saw dumpsters, but if anything was in them, there is not much of it. Anything else to be seen is behind the trees out of view... unless someone has the ____ to walk up to the gate and see if there is something worth the look. :lookaroun

Giacchino also did the score to Misson 2 in Paris.
Next time I ride the Orlando SM, I'm bringing my iPod onboard and ride the ride with either SM's or M2's music blasting in my ears.

he is right, you would be amazed the amount of steel theat you can fit through those doors. One of the things I know that they are doing is the removal of the asbestos ceiling panels, that would come first before any track replacement, over the years the panels have started cracking and have become a safty issue.

Well this refurb officially sucks.
Because the ride had become a joke not worthy of a Disney park. And it smelled funny too.

I wouldn't say sucks, but it looks like it may be on the disappointing side.

Apparently it will now be a joke with an updated queue, post-show, and star effects. Don't know 'bout the smell though.
That's for sure.

If you have some new information I am sure many of us would love to hear it. From what I can tell nobody here has a definite idea of what they are actually going to change.

I wish. Sadly, it really seems like the CO2 effect isn't happening.
