Space Mountain exterior refurbishment

Posted: Wednesday October 26, 2016 12:17pm EDT by WDWMAGIC Staff

Over at the Magic Kingdom, the love is continuing for Tomorrowland, with more work taking place on exterior refurbishments.

This time, Space Mountain is getting some much needed attention, with scaffolding now up around portions of the building.

Space Mountain exterior refurbishment

The mountain has also recently had an updated LED lighting package installed. The ride is operating as normal throughout the refurbishments.

In recent times, the Rocketower Plaza area, Carousel of Progress and the Tomorrowland entrance rock work have all had new looks.

If they did DL would be so stupidly perfect I’d cry.

not what I would have in mind...lol. But the Aria has beautiful kinetic waterfalls at their entrance....that don't spray people with water...it adds a whole lot to their entrance.... Not sure they could make that system work on the exact duplicate waterfalls they had in Tomorrowland, but they could probably do something that was dramatic with them...something that would look modern and suit the theme....

You are right about that...Disneyland's Tomorrowland is a bigger mess.... They REALLY need to address the ruins of the people mover and figure all of that out....

Could be worse, could be Disneyland's Tomorrowland.

Even not running, the forms are still sculptural and beautiful...I thought they just had the tower waterfall, but I may be mistaken on that...I remember seeing a picture of it running but it could have been old... There is no reason why these things could not work in some fashion... I believe the technology is there now... even if it is all lighting and screen integration...it could still be beautiful and kinetic.... rather than our Tomorrowland that is just rocks...

They don’t have any waterfalls in tokyos i dont think

I think the Tokyo Tomorrowland looks good, but I think it is mostly because they still have their towers and waterfalls in place... The architectural forms themselves still look futuristic... Sadly ours are gone and will not come back... I think we are stuck now with the completely uninspired rocks and iron-like white ring ... It is not great....or even good....

While more aesthetically pleasing to look at it just screams dated to me. Very 80s and doesn’t seem futuristic in my opinion but I know some are definitely not gonna agree.
