For some reason I don't think we will see something like DLP. I would not mind a track and queue change. Give the ride more of a story...maybe with a preshow of some sort. They can get rid of SMTV.

I thought I read somewhere that Disney would never again retro fit a building after the structure fiasco with WOM/Test Track nightmare? It's ultimately cheaper to tear down an rebuild.

I hope they don't change SM at all - I really do hate change! Sides, FP was change enough!

Its only one picture that I have seen and it is at mouseplanet.com.
Anyway if you have ever seen Space Mountain with the lights on, it is like a huge dome so adding a new track inside the existing building might be easier then many think.
But how they would get the pieces in there is another miricle that only disney would be able to figure out :lol:

In all seriousness, I'll say this...........
If they can leave The Matterhorn in Disneyland the way it is, then they can leave Space Mountain the way it is. Anyone who has recently riden the Matterhorn knows what I'm talking about. OLD, OLD track, SLOW, SLOW trains.......BAD, BAD shape! That coaster looks like a carnival ride compared to Space Mountain in WDW! But it's still the same. WHY? Because it's a favorite and a classic. Way to go Disney!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. One thing to think about.. The Matterhorn was the first steel coaster ever built. So it has some historical significance. Also from what I understand, our Space Mountain shares a similar track layout as the Matterhorn (that is why Space Mountain #2 in Disneyland had to have a different track layout)
There is enough extra room in Tomorrowland for another coaster I dont see why we would have to replace Space Mountain. Why not build a new one next to the old one? Hey, if we can dream it we can do it!

In case everyone forgot, the Matterhorn was re-tracked in 1978 (79?) They enclosed portions, and actually lengthened the track. They also doubled occupany by connecting two cars together. Previously it was a single bobsled.
At that time they also added the Abominal Snowman.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I think if this ride is "refurbished" in a big change way it could turn out like the Tiki Room did---and we definitely don't want that!!! They should just put all the energy and $$$ into building a new ride. Anyways, if all the Disney parks' rides are the same, what's the incentive to go to other parks in other areas (not just Orlando). I'm dying to go to DL and DL Paris for that matter. I've only ever been to WDW and the fact that the other parks are so different make me want to go there even more. This ride is wonderful as is and still draws lines of the 2 hr or more proportion. Even during the non-peak times there's an extensive wait time.

I agree on keeping Space Mountain the way it is. It's a classic! I live near Cedar Point, America's Roller Coast (TM), and a couple of years ago, there were noises about taking out the Blue Streak and replacing it with something 'faster.' The protests were deafening! You can't always have the huge and fast coasters. You gotta have something that people can start off with. Space Mountain was my first, was my nephew's first, and was the ride that made my mom's life flash before her eyes. Now *that* is a ride!

Although the front seat of the second car has no leg room at all. I always ask if I could wait till the next trin if I get that seat so I don't bump my legs during the ride (it's happened), and I'm not that tall.
