Just a heads up for anyone planning trips, Space Mountain will be going down for 2 months starting in August for safety upgrades.

I wonder what safety upgrades could mean?Comment

Uh oh...any specific dates or time frames?Comment

Hoo boy! That's going to add a good number of people to the crowds! SM usually has a pretty long standby line."Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."

So I only have between July 29th and some time in August to go to Disneyland if I want to ride the Mark Twain, DLRR, and Space Mountain. Hopefully it's towards the later half of August so I still have a good time frame to visit.Comment

AP blockouts end mid August. So it seems they want to keep it running for the out of town guests. APs may enjoy the ride, but it's nothing new either.Comment

I've been told it's to replace the lift chains, and automate adding and taking off trains (since it's done by just pushing them at this point).Originally posted by Wow View Post
I've just heard sometime in August for 2 months, since it's not "official" yet, there is no set date.Originally posted by DarkMetroid567 View Post
I've been told it will come back up as Ghost Galaxy.Originally posted by Jerryp49 View PostComment

would be killer to see the lights fixed in the hallway between lifts or for the effect to be more like the orlando counterpart. Or for the projections in the lift to get a 2017 upgrade a la remember's new graphics. Certainly doable but I won't hold my breath if they have safety and not show upgrades to concern themselves with at the moment.Comment

Is this confirmed? My fam moved our trip to August since that's when all the attractions should be back. Missing Space Mountain would be like missing sugar in a recipe!

Agree with you whole-heartedly, Eagleman. I recall a few of the MiceChat updates calling attention to this, and they eventually brought enough attention to that dang Fantasyland water bottle for them to remove it, so we can only hope that they take note here as well.

It was just cleaned in April and it looks fine. They've made it a habit of cleaning it toward the typical end of the rainy season in SoCal (late April) so I doubt they will clean it again until next year (although I personally don't think it needs it. )Originally posted by ianthompson08 View PostComment

Yeah the stains were getting gross. I've never liked the all-white facade actually, it doesn't look "space" or "mountain" especially in the daytime... more like a warehouse trying to look futuristic. What would you guys think if it got a dark color with some highlights or stars? Maybe some planets rotating around it? Of course, certain colors would look awful on it as we learned from TL98, so definitely avoid that lol.Comment

Congrats on getting the fact of the closure and the starting month right, but the length will be less than 4 weeks: from 8/21 through 9/14Comment

18 posts and no one said they were closing the attraction to add a loop.
Man...you guys are slacking.
