[Question] Did Ghost Galaxy leave a couple traces behind

[xxmat2]

When I went a week ago the lights below the panel were still greenish and in the actual ride part looked as if a couple of the circle screens were still there? Anyone else notice or is it just me?

According to this thread, there aren't any major changes, if any.

Not that I'm aware of. I think was a thread on this a few days ago and that's what it said there.

They did forget to switch off some blue LEDs in the first lift, and I did notice a little bit of green in the lap bar check room. So, yes, you judged correctly.

I noticed last Sunday what I think is a "disco" ball (look far to the right as you reach the top of the first lift. The areas was lit. It looked like someone forgot to turn off a light. I did not see it on Saturday.

It was pretty fast coming back up. Does anyone know if in the future it will only take a couple days to turn back on?

There's actually always disco balls. I noticed once when I rode the right looking backwards. I believe they use the disco balls to create the star effect on the walls and ceiling.

all the support for the screens was left up, but the screens we're taken down

I always thought disco balls were very appropriate for something that opened in 1977.

There aren't any additional lights at the top of the first lift used for GG...

They do not use disco balls. They use pinpoint star projectors. You can spot them usually because they are squares of what looks like an extremely miniature version of the projections.

They're the shiny square things, I found two:



EDIT: Anyone know what that circular thing with a bunch of holes is?

I think it's some of the star effects(only 50% sure on this)

WDITrent- you're partially right about one thing: they don't use the disco balls (notice the careful addition of the definite article, there ). They're there, but not used for the effects. You can see some of them best, on the third lift hill, to the left and down. You'll see a rig there with other kinds of projectors, and whatnot, and included in that lot of equipment are some disco balls.

^Pictures? Interview? Anything?

Sorry I'm so nitpicky, but I'm curious now.

I know in the pre 2005 version you always saw disco balls.
They were for star making.
Also made the ride brighter too (one of the reasons)

I'm not into taking flash pictures on the rides, and especially moreso, one that's completely in the dark. That wouldn't go well for guests' eyes. I suggest you check it out on your next trip.


And it's from personal experience, btw.

Re: Did Ghost Galaxy leave a couple traces behind

I don't get why nothing new was added to the ride I mean like a projection of a plant or something seems simple and easy and would draw a crowd.

Hold on there, I didn't suggest you take a flash picture. There are plenty of lights-on pictures.

And I have yet to be on Space Mountain when it breaks down, and even then, what are the chances that I'd be in the right spot to get said picture? Unless you have absolutely no way of getting to the parks, I suggest just looking for yourself- it's much easier.

I looked through Brian's (splashmoun10) flickr album, of the pics he got on Space, when it was 101'ed, and you can't see what I'm talking about in any of them. Maybe he has some other pictures, that he didn't post, that might have the disco balls in them. IDK.
