Re: ?
To fill you in. The WDW Space Mountain was the first Space Mountain to be built. A few years later the DL Space Mountain opened. It's base diameter is 100 feet shorter than WDW's (300ft for WDW and 200ft for DL I beleive) so they opted for one track instead of two. Although I have never been to Disneyland, I have done some reading about the ride. The speeds are similar but instead of being based on more tight corners, it is a bit more focused on the speed of space travel. It has mostly right corners so there isn't much suprise in which way you'll turn. In 1995 the cars were retrofitted with a stereo system to play a new on-board soundtrack that's a mix between space and surf guitar. Currently DL Space Mountain has been closed down for a couple years, and the only thing remaining is the building itself. The coaster is under a complete refurbishment, and in 2005 for the DL 50th Anniversary the ride will re-open, a completley new experiance. There will be new track, new effects, new cars, new soundtrack, everything.
I hope that answers all your questions.

Are there any Specifid rides that will be closing down due to them fixing it and maybe even changing some of it like The Alien Encounter (Stich ride) any other ride being fixed like that? Does anyone even think space mountain will be shut down in the future to make it better?

Actually, Disneyland's Space Mountain has only been closed a little over a year. And from what I've been hearing, the track is being built with the exact same layout as before, but some new show elements will be added. But I've also heard that D*ick Dale (surf guitar king) is supposedly going to record a new soundtrack for the ride (he did the original onboard soundtrack, which totally rocks 10 ways to Sunday).
And as for WDW's version, I would love to see an onboard soundetrack added, even if it's just the original one from Disneyland. It would make the experience much more exciting and fun.
** edited because the stupid board censor blocked out "D*ick"... sheesh! I'm using it as a proper name! :lol: **

I say leave it be. I would absolutely hate it if they tried and make it big and bad. The way it is, is just fine. I dont see problems with the line or the exit, I think everything about wdw's SM is special and unique, and should keep that uniqueness by staying the same.

rough as hell
Seriously, good fast bit round the edge of the mountain to start with, a couple of corkscrews, a crash through a meteor (with SFX and lights), a mid-ride lift hill climbing towards a projection of the moon, and a killer end section that slams your head against the restraints giving you a headache in an element called a horseshoe. The music is amazing and adds 200% to the ride. The launch isn't excilerating like RnRC, but is still quite fun.
And on DL SM:

Space Moutain at DLRP is amazing, however, I love WDW's too. The ride itself is great, it feels all jerky and and old - I like that, however, like all of tomorrow land it needs some TLC.

I think the MK would have a much harder time closing Space Mt than DL did, as DL has more E-ticket attractions, and more attractions in TL than MK does.
DL has both the Matterhorn and BTM as alternative, MK only has BTM. TL at DL has both Star Tours and HISTA, which MK doesn't. Before MK could close Space Mt, they would really need to add another e-ticket.
