Space Mountain TV (SMTV) - Part 1

This is video I shot of the hilarious preshow clip on the overhead TVs in the Space Mountain queue. It played from 1994-2005(?) when FedEx sponsored the ride. The quality isn't great because it's a manual recording of a TV, but it still brings back nice memories.

Gah! I could hardly remember this! I was really young when this part was there. Thank you so much! And they talk about X-S! I never did end up on that attraction. Way too much of a chicken. Then they got rid of it once I was ready to try it out. They should bring it back.

Just went to Disney last weekend (I live in Tampa and go regularly), and checked out for the first time since they rennovated X-S Terrorestrial Encounter...they turned it into Stich's Great Escape. Much more lame, but many elements of the original ride are still in place. Thanks for watching!

Wasnt XS Tech the corporation from Alien Encounter ?

[KenVic02]

Absolutely...another classic attraction that was retooled into Stitch's Great Escape. Remember, "If something can't be done with X-S, then it shouldn't be done at all". Thanks for watching!

I remember this at Disneyland. Personally I like the pre-refurb version, as it was more eerie and gave a sense of suspense. Thee music was also better IMO, if you could actually hear it that is. I remember that most of the time the speakers were broke. B4 DVDs, what they used was for this was a device that would use 2 duplicate VHS taps. It would rewind 1 while playing the other.

@KenVic02 It didn't :(

@KenVic02 SMTV used to play at Disneyland (We're talking about 5-8 years ago. I thought I was going crazy for a while because I was the only one out of my group who remembered they had some sort of show playing on the TV's. Now in California, last I went there, they only had the instructional video(s) describing what you can plan on experiencing, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. No more comedy.
