I'm cool with the concept in abstract. When I first heard about "Rockit Mountain" (which is a much better title than "Rockin' Space Mountain") I thought it would be like Space Mountain only with the asteroid lit up, some flashy red lights maybe, and a new soundtrack.

This, though, is probably the worst decision they've made at the parks in years. I can understand the context on Grad Night. I loved grad night, especially as a Disney fan. Seeing the park lit up with gaudy spinning lights and hearing Nelly in New Orleans Square was fun and a great way to see the park differently.

Rockin' Space Mountain as an all-day, several month fixture, though. Oh my gosh that's a horrible idea. I can't get too upset because I think my schedule doesn't even allow me to see it, but I really hope this isn't going to be a trend.

Rockin' Splash Mountain, where the animals sing hits from Green Day's latest album in the crossover event of the season!

Rockin' Fantasmic! where Mickey defeats the dragon by playing guitar solos from U2's classic hits!

I mean seriously.
