As prepared to hate it as I was, it was beyond my lamest expectations. A rollercoaster ride through Spencer's Gifts. I have better concert lighting in my apartment.

It's very hard to top the Paris' version of Rock'n'Rollercoaster for stupidity, but this one takes the prize ... lacking as it does any semblance of actual modern-era concert lighting effects. The effort was so unbelieveably lowball, and this is one of Disney's saddest efforts - - seriously looking to have cost about $4,000.



That said, the geek in me loved seeing the layout and inner structure of Space Mountain, and gazing on other cars speeding (well, moving slowly) along other parts of the track. But why on earth they would entirely eliminate the brilliance of the outer space concept that utterly transforms it from an ordinary coaster - - leaving but a poor man's lamest rock'n'ordinary rollercoaster - - is beyond me.

We went Saturday for the Munchkin's birthday. Both she and her pal LOVED it. Thought it was the best ride ever (they're 11). They were willing to stand in line for over an hour to do it again, I wasn't. Fastpasses were gone around 1 PM.

It was ok, not the worst thing ever but the DJ part was pretty lame. And it does seem slower plus the lighting is just crap. Why not just put up winky blinkie christmas lights?

I'll still ride it with you. I can't wait to see Rose's reaction - seeing as we rode WDW'S Rock N Rollercoaster 32 times in one day, Uncle Joe's voice has a certain painkilling (or inducing) effect. I wanna put a "As Seen On Rockin' Space Mountain" sign on all the ODV Spinny Light carts at DL :)

It's a real shame Lashbear is getting screwed ;)

It's ok, you've ridden the Tokyo version, which is just like DL 77 Space Mountain.

It was decidedly half-a$$ed and not up to Disney standards, but still fun. I definitely want to ride it again, as soon as I wash CoasterMatt's throat-blood off my face.

Don't you mean, as soon as you finish making love to the ostrich couch?
