Don't expect to see anything during the next rehab. Also, TTA will be down for a while as well.

What an awesome concept!!!!!
To have an indoor floorless coaster is a great idea. It bet it would feel like your in a space suit traveling through space. I think you really hit something there.

probably just board up the path into a tunnel... and change the seil to silence or something like, "now entering space mountain. we are finally gutting this old attraction and bringing it into the 21 century. on your next visit, no need to bring the back pain pills"

a floorless coaster would certainly be cool, but it wouldn't happen because only B&M makes floorless designs at this point, and Disney does not work with B&M. Plus, it'd be very hard to theme a floorless train to look like anything space travel-worthy.

this is true... i think the florrless can stay at universal and sf, or wait until Beastly Kingdom is built.

I'm NOT holding my breath for that!:lol:this is true... i think the florrless can stay at universal and sf, or wait until Beastly Kingdom is built.
PS. Joel, I'm not holding my breath for rain either! Looks like we will BOTH have to do our "backyard naked rain dance" at the same time, if we want any relief from the drought:lol:.

Minimum?
New track a la Disneyland. (Even with the same layout...I could live with that.)
New trains with audio.
Better effects in the mountain.
"New Tomorrowland" themeing.

What it really needs is the starfield effects like DL has. You can BARELY seem the track in DL.. and the moving starfield makes it feel like you really are just flying through space.
WDW's feels like an old boardwalk rollercoaster compared to DLs. But DL's does lack the static displays on the ride like WDW has.

Thats good, because I do not know which ride is rougher SM or TTA. At least put shocks in the TTA cars.:lol:

Nope. Building's big, but not that big. The two existing layouts could be expanded...or, ideally, exchanged for one bigger and longer one.
New lift would be nice. They're easy enough to make silent, like EE, even without LIMs. LIMs are just something else to go wrong.

oh dont worry, govna' reily has declared the next week prayer week for rain.
now how stereotypical is that of alabama and the bible belt. jezzzzi like all said, but dont you want to keep these effects, i mean come on, in a few years they will be consider "retro" or "classic" and they will be instyle again.
i was always a advocate for keeping the tracks the same (layout), but after sept 2006, im a supporter of anything new, even if that means the DL treatment and a single track 2 people per row (even though i still struggle with this since i really do love the single file seating)

:ROFLOL:oh dont worry, govna' reily has declared the next week prayer week for rain.
just like the chief-o-police sings her hymns to stop crimes!:ROFLOL:
I'd like to see 2 slightly different courses, interacting a few times throughout the course, using Vekoma's new track style that Everest is sporting.
Something smooth, something dark, doesn't need loops or big drops.

Is it at all possible to cover the que area inside the mountain. It seems like such a waste of space. I know the intent was to have TTA look inside but they could frame it in and extend the ride out over the que area and frame up the que. It seems like it would add a bunch of space for more ride.

well, you could hide the queue and still utilize the space above it while infact keeping the TTA view. i think the TTA view would be a lot better if the structure can over it and you rode through all the metal supports looking up at trains wizzing over head.

That's a great idea! They hardly ever use all of the space inside for the queue ( I think that they would rather "stack" the queue outside than in). That would also give a better "view" for the TTA (besides queues that are rarely used).

Closing in the queue would reduce the light leakage into the ride area and also hide SM from the TTA when the service lights are on.
Now isn't the TTA service bay is located in the BLDG?
Does the current SM track use the space above the service bay?

I still enjoy the layout and basic bones. But, I definitely think enclosing the queue is a necessary step for the darkening.
One caveat to all of you pushing for DLP or another major coaster. Remember the modern trend for MK. That would be a very adult ride, and it would have a pretty high height requirement. And, let's not forget the fate of the last adult-oriented MK attraction... Do we really want Stitch's Great Space FLight?
