I'll be genuinely surprised if something new pops up today. Happy, too....I would love to be wrong about this refurb. :D
I would too. Yesterday, it looks like that what many rode is/was the finished project.

I predict that the only new thing would be a pin release. :lookaroun

Another review- Today was "grand reopening" and it broke down twice. The attraction coordinator was pretty mean towards guests. I saw a new game, but didn't getti play it. It inolves driving aorund a spaceship. Also found the hench reference. Wall behind alpha has all been peeled. Shame people can't keep their arms to themselves. The blue neon in the loading area is way too bright. Funny thing about the games... You hardly get to play them. The waiting is all done in the reconfiged queue. The cameras still seem to be off. The ride is still extremely bumpy, and I have a nice bruise on my leg to prove it now. Never had an injury on an attraction till now. The sign outfroby remained off all night. Ball pit in the first room is still there.

That's about it. It needs another good year of a refurbishment.

long live space mountain florida, the original! Just keeps getting better with time. Even if in baby steps.Be happy, because it could be gone just like TTA in ca. You like SM CA, then go there, but quit whining here.

That's never good. How were the crowds? Saturday brought in a line up to 40 min. Even then, the stand by queue went pretty quick.

I saw a new game, but didn't get to play it. It involves driving around a spaceship.
Does it look like something from Cyber Command? (you know, the 3D game in COP?)

Also found the Hench reference.
And in a place easy to spot! (Too bad you need to hold the camera with your life a nanosecond afterwards.)

Wall behind Alpha has all been peeled. Shame people can't keep their arms to themselves.
There were only minimal spots Saturday. Are there more now?

The cameras still seem to be off.
The on-ride pic cameras? They were working Saturday. Riding SM twice & both times even had the rockets perfectly aligned to match the pic's graphics.

The ride is still extremely bumpy, and I have a nice bruise on my leg to prove it now. Never had an injury on an attraction till now.
It could depend what you brought onto SM AND which side you rode. Having to ride Alpha twice & brought a neon mesh bag, I never sustained an injury...

The sign out front remained off all night. Ball pit in the first room is still there.
Really? Maybe they need to work out a kink or so on it. Oh, and besides the ball pit, I just realized the blue triangle connection.

That's about it. It needs another good year of a refurbishment.
Not really now, it just needs after-hours cleaning. (sigh)



Oh, and can someone explain the FOOT.exe on one of the screens?

Is it me or was the sound when you go through the tunnel was replaced? To fit the cue for the photo?

New sound:

Old sound:

:lol: the new sound is almost identical to the sound in the World Domination game that James Bond and his enemy Maximilian Largo play in Never Say Never Again.

Ok. I think about 5% of people that read this post will actually have seen that movie. I think that about 5% of the readers werent even alive in 1983. :D

The idea that'd they'd ever get rid of a SPACE MOUNTAIN is ridiculous, the argument "Be glad the ride's still crummy and not gone completely" is Weapons Grade Bunk.
