taking the same pictures over and over

I am the same way. But, I can't help taking that picture again. I love to compare them from year to year, too.

I don't want space mountain to be updated...I've been on 3 space mountains (California, Paris and WDW) and WDW is unique, it would be a shame to make it too much like the others!?

Let's hope it's mostly changes to atmosphere and "looks." I love the way it is now, but if they can make it prettier, then go for it! Just don't go overboard, WDI

I just hope they don't change the layout of the ride. I love it!

I don't know I like the old ride. Why not leave it the way it is. The wild mouse coaster it is is a lot of fun. Except they need to make pitch black again, I remember not being able to see the tracks. Thats why its one of the best.

i am very positive that they will just make the ride smoother like the one in disneyland.
Have a magical day everyone!

As long as it stays dark and the music loops stay the same then I will be happy.

I just hope they aren't refurbing when I make the next visit down there, but knowing my luck, I will be going down there plop in the middle of its potential refurb.

I'm rather nervous about this. I really don't want the feel of this ride altered too much. I'm all for maintenance and a few tweaks but I personally don't want to see a fast launch or loops on this classic. Hearing that it may be only 4 - 8 months makes me feel that significant changes like this are unlikely.

Even though it maybe only 4-8 months, there is still a chance it is a total overhaul. The track will be built off-site and assembled once completed. If they keep the current layout of the queue (which they really can't change considering it rund under the track for the railroad) it would just be "minor" superficial changes, no real construction. All of this can be done simultaneously.

I hope they update the different scenes on the different walkways. Also maybe make the ride dark again. Like almost everyone else; I hope they don't mess with it to much. I don't see it being a full refurd, not in the time frame Disney has given.

I hope that this is just a rumor about WDW Space Mountain. I love the old ride, its a classic. I do wish they would turn down the lights again. If they do refurb it I don't think that they'll change the outside profile of the mountain, they would've changed that back when they were refurbing all of tomorrowland. I think WDW Space Mountain may have been the first SM, and it still seems to be one of the parks most popular rides, I think mainly becuase of it nostalgia and hype from the past. So it might not make it a prime canidate for refurb. I could seeing it needed a better track inside. I wouldn't care for music like in other SM. and I would hope that they would use the best parts of the queue. Thanks for the Paris mountain photos, theirs looks faster, and I think Space Moutain Mars would've been a cooler name.
