The "new and improved" 太空 Mountain recently opened at Walt 迪士尼 World. Frankly, I don't see what the fuss is all about.

The queue area is much improved. The games look cool. I only got to play for a 分钟 because when I went, for once the line was impossibly short. That exceeded my expectations. I was expecting them to be like in Soarin’, which are no fun and totally pointless (but now we're getting off topic).

Inside the waiting area, there is now a barrier between the track and the waiting area so 你 can no longer see the track from the line. That's better. They added some new lights and gave it a fresh 涂层, 外套 of paint, which made it look less like the original 星, 星级 Trek and 更多 like the new one. It actually kind of looks like a 太空 port now. They also replaced all of the railings.

On the actual ride, I remain unimpressed. Maybe if I hadn't been to Disneyland nine months before and been on the one there and thought, "Wow, that was so cool, that was so much better than in 迪士尼 World," I would have been 更多 impressed. The first part is different. They added a neat little effect, but don’t look anywhere but the opposite direction from where you're turning, 或者 else 你 get blinded 由 a camera newly put in. If 你 want your picture, prepare to see spots for a while. That gave me a headache and left me seeing spots for a while. Then 你 go up the lift hill. It looks different, but similar to the original one. After that, the ride is almost exactly the same. I knew they weren't adding the cool 音乐 like the one in Disneyland. That would have required all new cars, and I already knew that wasn't happening this time.

As far as any claims that it is darker in there, yes it is darker. However, i didn't notice this until about the fifth time around. It depends on which row you're sitting in. They took the stripes off the sides of the cars at an attempt, but I can still see the track. It doesn't leave me completely disorriented like the one in Disneyland where I wonder where I will turn next. The track was supposed to be smoother. I don't believe it. It seems just as bumpy to me as all the other dozens of times I've been on it in the past.

As for the end, well, after 你 get off, 你 have a fresh 涂层, 外套 of paint on everything again, and a spot to see your picture. They changed the end so that they are no longer trying to convince 你 that 你 can send mail from different planets through light. Actually, it isn't really that exciting at the end. They still have the cameras there, but that's updated so that 你 have a 太空 backround as 你 pass by.

I went through about six 或者 seven times just to give it a chance. Some of the updating was needed so that it doesn't break down like it used to (I was in one time and every 日 I was in the Magic Kingdom and tried to get on, it was broken down. Although it did break down while I was on it now that they've improved it, they just pulled us up to the exit and had us get off a few feet from where we're supposed to). My bottom line is still the same though. Although it is updated and somewhat better, 太空 Mountain does not meet expectations.
