Disney's Space Mountain to Close for Renovations

Wow. This must really be a big news if Yahoo Business section also reports it.

Space Mountain at the Magic Kingdom will be closed some time this Spring for a renovation.

Disney said Wednesday the ride in Orlando, Florida, will close April 19 so the 34-year-old attraction can be refurbished. Park officials expect the ride to reopen later in the year, but no date has been set.

Workers will replace the track, but the track layout won't change. A new enclosure will be added to the ride's waiting area, along with a new ceiling inside its prominent, white dome.


I hope they "plus" the attraction, because it is truly showing its age. But then, if you change it too much, you'll get complaints from other Disney fans.

You'd certainly like to "get" something new if it's going to be closed down.

I thought I remembered hearing something a while back that the WDW Space Mountain renovation was going to be something like the DLR one from a few years back - nicer queuing area and with the track renovation a smoother, faster ride.
