Walls are down at Space Mountain

[Expo_Seeker40]

The Mission Control figures have always worn sunglasses because of the "fire" coming out our rockets and the Explorer Vehicle rockets.


Yeauhhhhhhh details!






And the MC workers are also wearing 1975 red RCA Cast Member Uniforms.

Costume Change FAIL

What can I say? I'm dedicated. Space Mountain is definitely one of my favorites.

Come to think of it, this is turning out to be almost an exact repeat of the Spaceship Earth re-opening almost two years ago.

Distract the CM's outside the entrance by pointing to the Carousel of Progress and exclaim "HOLY CRAP, THE CAROUSEL OF PROGRESS HAS A LINE!". The CMs' jaws will drop and stare at the CoP and you can dart past them ninja fanboy style and enter the Spc Mtn queue.

You've got to watch out if you sneak into the queue, ninja-style like that. They've set up traps to distract you and keep you busy while security comes. Interactive queue games FTL :ROFLOL:

Tempting! I am trained in the ancient fanboy ninja martial arts techniques of old, fat security guard evasion and impromptu attraction activation!

Not looking like soft openings happening tonight, inside the Mountain is deathly quiet.

That must have been before I got there. I haven't seen any rockets going.

 

[Expo_Seeker40]

the park closed at 7:00PM, but would they still allow CM's to ride it after closing?

I kind of doubt it, the work lights were still on, the ride wasn't running at all, and I saw a lot of the Space Cast leave.

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

And I will try to ride.:hurl:

Thanks Mr.EPCOT! Any day now it will open!:sohappy:

Same.:dazzle::lookaroun

I've been through a few times now, and haven't seen any rockets cycling.


...

The figures in the control booths next to the lift hills are wearing sunglasses...

Sunglasses? Like Star Trek visors? Odd.

Ugh.:dazzle::lookaroun

I'll check tomorrow morning to see if I can check it out!

 

[Mansion Butler]

My roommate rode it and said Star Tunnel is gone. There's a good chance he doesn't know what he's talking about, as he didn't seem to know what I was talking about (I asked him, he didn't bring it up), but yeah.

:'(

So, I know this is probably known by now, but, just sayin: he didn't know what he was talking about.
