Rockin' Space Mountain - Page 20

I really liked being able to see the track. The line was an hour long and we couldn't make it on more than once. I need to on it again where I can focus on the ride and not keep looking all over to see the track. Did I mention how cool it was to see the track?

i seriously hadnt been on for years.. and went this wednesday (w jim) and it was a five minute wait to get in (which was great) but i was so disapointed. i will wait until april or whenever they turn those lights off...

While I can only enjoy it with the lights on. So, I will ride with the family until the lights come back on.

It is my eyes, I guess. Or my ears? I am not so sure footed and I wonder if that is all somehow related?

Anywho, I am okay with it. When I can't ride it, I enjoy that time alone {as alone as one can be at Disneyland} walking through the shop and people watching.

Today will probably be my second ... and last ... day of riding Rocket Mountain. I'm taking someone who hasn't been on yet (my pal, Laurie) and ... absent other newcomers (Lashbear, for instance), I likely won't ride this travesty again until closing day, when I will bid it a laff-filled good riddance.

Then when it returns to normal, I can show you the track just as well with a LED flashlight - since that's essentially what they have for lights along the track.

Didn't love it. Didn't hate it. Will be glad when the original comes back.

I'll never want to see the track again, btw.

It's always been one of my fondest desires to ride Space Mountain once or twice with the lights on, just to see the track layout ... and frankly I like the current version better for that than I would the white warehouse look of a real "lights on" experience.

But it's never far from my consciousness that Space Mountain works precisely to the extent the track is hidden, and the feeling of flying through star-filled space is achieved. Rainbow Glasses TM both obliterate the track and prismisfy the stars, and I love them for both qualities. I'll not want to see the track again.

LOL Oh, for that, natural light or none.

But, why should I worry so much? Maybe the body isn't what it once was but then again, neither is our eyesight.

Umm...carry on.

Again, my most earnest and heartfelt thanks for the introduction of Rainbow Space Mountain. Where were you when I was doing psychedelics?
