Nope - we're at DLR from March 25 to April 7

...at least the Matterhorn's going to be open this time.

Man, I was hoping they would preview it on New Years Eve!!!

I know it will suck, it will suck, but it's something to experiance.

Aww Lashbear - but you've been on Space Mountain Tokyo, which is almost like riding the original at Disneyland* (I know it gave me falshbacks)

*The "original Space Mountain is of course in WDW

I think what bothers me about this, is it's a poor-man's Rock and Roller Coaster. That's a fun ride in itself, and would be a great addition to DCA. But I can't help but think when I was young, in the single digits how cool Tomorrowland was, for being Tommorrowland and indulging all my sci-fi fantasies of space travel.

I'd be okay if they camped it up a la Dick Dale, but it sounds like all the detailed theming that you are in an actual space port gets thrown out the window as you are launched into a disco.

It's a fine grad-night gimmick to pull out every now and then, but to run it like that for months? No thank you.

I guess I'm super lame, because I think it sounds kind of cool. Oh well, I probably won't see it anyway.

I am with you Steph, I think it will be a nice departure for a few months. I like the Band and the version of the song. Could have been worse.

If anything it will give plenty of fuel to add to our Luminaria/Light Magic/insert your own bytchfest topic here arsenal. I will wait till I actually ride it before I do make that decision though.

I want to cry about the timing of lashbear's visit to this travesty. Ugh, the goggles do nothing!!!

(among other things, rainbow glasses will be useless.)

From my experiences with a few other in-the-dark rollercoasters and prismatic lens goggles, the more rapid moving lights there are in the room, the better...

YMMV

The sad thing is, having seen Space Mountain 2.0 in Paris, we know that it's possible to do it right. But from what I've seen in the videos, Rockin' Space Mountain::Space Mountain 2.0 as the LEDs on my DVD player::The Main Street Electric Parade.

I think they should use the Brady Kids singing "Sunshine Day".
