    Space Mountain Refurbishment

    Haven't seen anyone post any updates regarding the Space Mountain closures, but I just rode for the first time since the September closures. Rumors were true. Trim brake added before the big drop near the end of the ride. It's magnetic and pretty noticeable :-( - Todd

    Cheetah Hunt

    Manta

    If I recall that announcement correctly, the little touches that they were going to work on actually did NOT pertain to the pumps and such in the backstage area that you see as the train re-enters the station. It had more to do with the areas that are clearly visible from guests who aren't...
