Rockin' Space Mountain
 
I can hear the cringing on LoT now.......

Here's an excerpt from the article:

Quote:

For a limited time (from January 3 through April 26, 2007), guests will experience Space Mountain like never before. The high-speed interstellar adventure, that has captivated Disneyland guests since the 1970s, will temporarily have an all-new twist. Rockin' Space Mountain fans will find the attraction sporting new technology that features illuminated dancing rock fans, more than 200 lights brightening the track and a brand-new, customized soundtrack by Red Hot Chili Peppers. The band's famous song,"Higher Ground," which was a 1989 hit version of the Stevie Wonder original tune, will create an out-of-this-world rock adventure. Along with new technology and lighting, all systems are a go.
Personally, I can't wait to see the "dancing rock fans"! :rolleyes:

I think we need a "Goodbye Space Mountain" swanking.

In the future, you'll rocket through space listening to a 15-year old song - Bah

Could they not at least somehow make this a bit forward-thinking? Or failing that, go with the full on retro future and have a Esquvile or Perry & Kingsley soundtrack?

Ugh! There's a good reason not to visit in april.

Dick Dale, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lawrence Welk. It is all the same to me in that if you ask me after the ride I'll not remember that there was even music going.

But lots of flashing lights and projections I can do without. However, I insist on flashing lights and projections for California Screamin' just so I can see where they'd flash them from and project them onto.

It's Space Mountain, not the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. Dang. I cringe.

Now THAT would have been cool! :snap:

Alex 12-28-2006 01:30 PM

So you're cool with the concept, just unhappy with the musical selection?

I hope they're not trying to target the teen demographic, because using a song that came out before most of them where born is a pretty stupid way of going about it. On the other hand, we are talking about Disney executives here....

I'm into trying something different at all times, and I will probably check it out before it goes. What disappoints me, like the others have said, is the musical selection. I used to like the Chili Peppers - that is until Southern California radio stations decided to oversaturate the airwaves with their latest craptastic album. If there's anything positive, the ride might bring me back to a time when the Peppers were listenable to me, though chances are I will become instantly agitated at the first moments of Anthony Kiedis' voice.

Ugh.

I really had my heart set on Ray Coniff.
