The real question is, do we finally replace Mel Blanc's Uncle Orville clip?

According to WDWMagic, Space Mountain has a massive rebuild on the way, announcement coming soon (maybe at D23).

I’m glad they’re going with the retrack route. It’s the original, so it deserves a touch-up…not a full blown replacement that Tokyo is doing.

I will kinda miss the bobsled-style seating, but I could see them pushing for side-by-side seating like DL has. I don’t blame them as that would literally double capacity. I feel like it would make things slightly trickier given that style of seating would require slightly larger track and bigger clearances.

This is overdue. Glad to see the OG Space Mountain will likely get some love soon.

I've been hearing some very bad things on the WDWMagic forums.

Rumors include:

A new building (no more iconic Space Mountain building)

New queue (Classic SM BGM gets the ax, as does Star Tunnel)

Vekoma

Faster speed (potentially as fast as 60mph)

Completely different track lay-out

New load station/stations

New cars

Single track

A launch

Peoplemover would also go down for a few months or longer.

I want the same treatment for DL’s Space Mountain.

*ahem* this would count as a full-blown replacement, just so you know.

I wouldn't hate something like what they're doing in the Tokyo remodel. Otherwise, (x) doubt.

Losing the music would be an L, but the queue is dated to hell and back.

The company that does basically every Disney coaster? Checks out. Fine by me.

Doubt, but neat.

Might be a hot take, but go for it. I always have a blast, but I'm also not here to pretend the layout is anything special when it's essentially a wild mouse. It can absolutely be improved upon.

Sweet. Also wildly dated and could be dramatically improved upon.

See above.

Not a huge fan, but it's also not like they duel or anything dramatic. If it means a longer ride, I'm intrigued.

Always a fan, but also doubt.

Bummer, but so it goes.

Overall, I'll be sad to see a long downtime, but the ride is beyond overdue for a retrack. I mean, my god, they had one planned 18 years ago and cancelled it. If they can update the theming at the same time, even better. I can't even begin to pretend that the current theming is up-to-par with Disney's capability for a space coaster.

They better keep the layout. Not just because it's more fun than Disneyland's layout, but because of the historical significance of being the first and original Space Mountain*.

And removing the music loops should be a non-starter. We've already lost too much evocative theme park music.

*Not that I expect Disney cares much about that last part, given that they're in the process of gutting the only WDW attraction Walt Disney directly oversaw...
