Not to disagree with you since I don't know anything about this refurb but in the press release when Disney announced Sm was going under for a refurb the spokesperson said that they were going to keep many of SM's classic, original elements. I think they might have been referring to the queue music. Also, why would they get rid of Star Tunnel unless they had some new music to put in.

(Hopefully anything but DL's comchat)

Yeah, if there's one thing I don't like about DL's SM its the fact that the comchat sounds play through the WHOLE queue. Its not bad, but it gets kind of old after a while when WDW has three different music traacks playing in its queue.

And why did DL not steal any of WDW's queue music?

They already had a few WDW/DL "clones" by then that duplicated audio.

I've read how DL's SM supposedly was given a different storyline than WDW (although I couldn't tell you what WDW's is and what made DL's so different)

I wonder if RCA's sponsorship played a role in WDW's music. Does it have any RCA musical themes?

personally I dont think comchat is not that bad.The line moves really fast because you have to get in the rocket fast and the rockets are one behind another.The ride is good so the 10 minutes im in line, the chat is worth it.:wave: It would be different for wdw's since the line moves slow.

Kind of; 1985's RYCA-1 had the vocal song We've Come So Far, on which the instrumental entrance hall and star tunnel audio is based on. RCA left sponsoirship in 1993.

They did? I don't remember hearing it.

That's funny because they added the music from the DL version to the exit area of WDW's Space Mountain in 2006.

It's there.:wave: The music plays (I believe) right when you walk up the stairs to the exit.
btw: WDW's exit ramp music was added in 2006? I though it was earlier?

Very true but even over there the comchat shouldn't be through the whole line. It is kind of distracting when you can't hear the words over other people's chatter. Our music is far more effective.

I couldn`t forget the `75 RCA theme, but it no longer exists. At least WCSF still does as an instrumental.

PM your email (yet again) and I`ll send you a little mix I did ;)

Passed by SM twice today... Lots of guys going in and out, and a TON more equipment (in black metal cages) and scafolding outside the mountain now.

Were they black with silver surrounding... That would make them flight cases :shrug: Which could mean new lights or sound or something of that sort...

Just my 2p...
