Ghost Galaxy

It's been very popular. I went on a Saturday and on a Monday and both days had about the same time for lines and Fast Pass was out by 2 pm.

But, this is one of the most fun rides I've been on! It's not going to last until December because it's just Halloween, so if you can go to the park for a couple hours, it's worth going in line and riding (well, a 90 minute line at max for me).

And I will say, in an opinion, that it's in between Disney and not Disney. It's definitely to get some people from all the other California parks that are doing Halloween stuff. If you have children, take heed to the warning signs out front. There was a kid that the parents said had been on the ride many times, and she was crying at the end of it.

We went last weekend, it was better han tRockin Space Mountain. Lines were long. We rode it half a dozen times. The lines got long quickly.

Longest wait was 130 minutes, with Fast Pass Line backed up to the entrance que needless to say we did not wait in either line even with a Fast Pass.

I was attempting to go on Sunday but the ride broke down for more than an hour so I didn't bother. I'm going tomorrow so I hope it will be working by then and there won't be much of a line.

We went to the park unexpectedly and I got up the nerve to go on it. I like the music they used...but I have to say I like Rockin' Space Mountain better (love the song "Higher Ground").

Not really a fan of a creepy looking ghost named Bob popping out whenever he feels like it and following me as I'm riding.

But I will say, the effects projected on the outside at night were pretty cool!

I have seen videos of the projections and I have to say that they look absolutely incredible.

Some of the sound effects got really loud and you could hear them from different areas of the park which made it even spookier.

Okay, I just rode it last night right when I got there at the park by 3PM. It was a 35 minute wait when I got there and when I got off the ride, it was bumped up to 65.

I really loved it. I think the ride went much faster too but that's my opinion. The ghost you see right at the top of the lift hill really freaked me out for a moment but all in all, the projections were incredible. I hope to get a chance to ride it again.

Yeah, he got me there too...

It was darker than normal in there and I think that contributes to making it feel faster.

I thought it was an awesome addition to the holiday overlays. I hope it returns next year. It was VERY busy the 4 days I was there. Went to get a Fast Pass before Noon and my return time was already pushed out to 10:30 PM. I was very cool though. Turned out to be a one timer for the entire trip because of the wait time.

I'm a little sad that it's not there anymore but since Halloween is over, I'm glad that I had gotten the chance to ride it. I rode both Rockin' Space Mountain and this and I have to say that this was a lot better than the other.

I loved Rockin' Space Mountain...but then again, I'm partial to the song choice. I love the song "Higher Ground"...either version (Stevie Wonder or RHCP)

I loved the Rockin' Space Mountain. I did not at all like the Ghost Galaxy.

Rockin' Space Mountain ruined it for me with all the lights. I get that it's supposed to be like a rock show but it threw the feeling of being in space.

As far as effects go (for Rockin'), I thought it was meh...let's just say, I thought it would be different...since they took away the cookie after the 2+ year closure

I loved the projections on the outside of GG and the music is awesome...I admit that riding it once was enough for me though.

I agree. The outside of SM was awesome! But the inside projections were kinda lame.
