what time did you go though space moutain on the TTA was at the park also i left around 3pm and the light were still on

[AttractionsMagazine]

I went through the first time a little after 3pm and then again at around 6pm and the lights were off inside both times. However, others have reported seeing the lights on inside today as well as testing continues.

The area I zoomed in on is part of the post-show that you see while ascending the moving platform after riding.

I actually don't hate this update, not by any means. I don't like the queue line games that much, or the removal of the star map, but everything else is a nice improvement. They were even nice enough to keep the music and the post-show, and the same trains.

The TTA narration is a HUGE train wreck, though. I guess Disney has a bad refurb quota to fill, too.

I don't think the new TTA audio is bad, just different. But I do miss hearing Tom Morrow being paged.

@LHSdrmr yep. almost 6 months after the audio change, i am still getting comments on how much people miss the old audio.

I LOVE Space Mountain! And my first time riding it was a few weeks after the refurbishment. And I think it's one of the best coasters I have ever ridden! It's probably because I love in-door roller coasters!

They were "Space Greeters." Put there to basically tell you the ride was still closed, before you walked all the way up to the building.

I only know this because I am the girl @ the beginning with the pin trading lanyard on. :)

We were put there all throughout the Space Mountain refurb. Well @ least since I got there in August.

Glad they have the TTA back up in running. I went in June and they had it closed. They were doing a lot of work in the middle of the summer. This, the TTA, like two buildings on mainstreet, adding Obama to the hall of presidents, redoing the outside of its a small world, and Redoing the train station in Fronteerland.

That and also the enclosed que minus the star tunnel music. Its not right

I'm glad the kept the FedEx After show. My favorite part of the ride.
