Actually, two separate sides are better. So if one side breaks down, the other can still run.

Glad I found this thread tonight. We are going down from April 20th until the 30th and I received an email a few days ago telling me that our FP+ for Space Mountain were cancelled for the 21st and wondered what the heck was going on. We were given Splash Mountain ones for that day instead. I believe our ones for the 26th are still showing up though.

My Coworker is going to Disney in May. She just told me that two of her days, with Space Mountain Fast passes, were changed as well. When she went to acquire a fast pass for a later date, Space Mountain shows up as unavailable.

And an all-new track is exactly what it needs. The last time I rode SM, I walked off with a backache. You get banged and slammed around in there. No fun at all. The ride track is a chiropractor's dream. I hope it goes down for a thorough gutting and track rebuild one of these days. It sorely (get it?) needs it.
Blame Uncle Phil.

Ugh. That was the tipping point for me. I had hope for a better WDW until that decision. It still bothers me to this day and I haven't ridden SM since. The last time was just too painful.... emotionally and physically.

I'll bite. Can someone explain Uncle Phil?

I can't tell if he is smiling or in pain.

Was the proposed rebuild still going to be two tracks?
Identical layout. Just state of the art as opposed to back breaking. Like what was done in California in 2003-5 just before theirs collapsed.
And if you've ridden California's or Hong Kongs you know what a great experience it is.
Add onboard and offboard audio, new visual effects and exterior lighting plus a real overhaul of the pre and post shows and you can see how much it was butchered.

I have ridden DL's and aside from a relatively blah layout, it is a great experience. Putting MK's layout with DL's tech would really be amazing.

Amen to that. Space is now a ride it once a trip and be done with it for me. My wife said after our last trip she is done with it for good. I see almost no chance for a gutting but you are right, it needs it. New track, new tech, new audio, new queue, new post show, new EVERYTHING.
