Now that the TTA is getting closer for reopening..It makes me think what they will do as you get into Space Mountain to get a view of what's being worked on or if they are going to block the viewing windows as it starts going through?

I'm pretty sure we will not be able to see a thing...:(:lol:


Would be cool if they put a teaser there, though...

I can definitely imagine them doing special lighting for the holiday events.

I don't know how many of you have seen this, but in the past year or so they've installed temporary strobe lights across the "straight" sections of the TTA track that look like they shoot across, but only during special events days, then they're gone. I wonder if those are going to also be implemented more permanently or still be used? :shrug:

Well, one would hope the only use Holiday colors in that instance, while normal nights would have normal colors.:D


The strobe effect sounds cool....But I have not heard of it! Do you have a link or a video?

I know DL's SM uses strobes in it's light package...

Awesome.
I love when they do things like this.
I am almost positive they will change slowly to each color.
What is being shown in the video is a test phase, they wont keep it that way.

The colors and effect really will go with the rest of the theming.
Lighting always makes for a wonderful mood. Too bad its not dark all day hahahaha

Just an FYI; I was just shown a video showing a cascading rainbow effect; blocks of colour were slowly chasing eachother around the TTA circuit. Not just one colour at a time.

The video isn't great, but it is showing the lighting in color fade mode, not step. Also, look at 0:06, not all of the lights are on the same color. One set is on pink while the other is on purple. I own some of these light fixtures and they are definitely able to do some awesome things.

This Tuesday

Have you heard anything about whether it's slated to open on time? I would imagine that it's reopening depends largely upon structural progress inside Space Mountain. If it opens on time, it follows that Space Mountain, at least right now, is on pace to reopen in Winter 2009, as stated by Disney.

Right? :shrug:

Afraid not; it`s a video not on public boards. You`ll have to trust me ;)
