RickR Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 Forget CGI. Check out these awesome special effects.
The Professor Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 Awesome commercial Rick! Great to see a member sharing some Disney stuff around here :thumbsup:
Yo-Yo Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 OH MAN! SPACE MOUNTAIN!! The granddaddy of dark rides, space mountain was the best!! Anyone else ride on this when they were a kid? It's still just as scary now.
Yo-Yo Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 Except the commercial lies to you, "It can only happen at Disneyland" not true! It can happen at Disney World too! And it's actually better there impo.
RickR Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Posted February 7, 2015 OH MAN! SPACE MOUNTAIN!! The granddaddy of dark rides, space mountain was the best!! Anyone else ride on this when they were a kid? It's still just as scary now. Yes! And I just got back from a trip with one of my kids. It's still really good, and huge amount of fun. I agree with you that the one in Florida is better. Much larger. And the only Space Mountain in the various Disney parks to NOT seat you side by side.
greenween Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 I lived in Florida in 88 and could see Epcot from my house. I was too punk at that time to check it out! Kinda regret it now! "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime."
Arcade Dude 44 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Man, scared the heck out of me when I was 8. Now it's my favorite ride @ Disneyland! I agree, the WDW version is even more awesome! I DO miss the big red "planet" in the DL version though. My YouTube Channel: youtube.com/arcadedude44
RickR Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Posted February 10, 2015 They tore out the track and rebuilt it at DL a few years back. It's much smoother now than it ever was before.
RadioPoultry Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 I haven't experienced the ride, but I understand that there was going to be an MS-DOS game based on it. Apparently the licensing deal fell through, but the game was still released as Gametek's "Nomad". They removed most of the Disney connections, but some remain.
Arcade Dude 44 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 I wonder why, when they rebuilt it, they kept it all exactly the same?? I mean, it is an awesome little ride, I just wonder why they didn't "update" it (maybe a little more speed, etc.)? I do really like the subwoofer blast, just as you gain "re-entry" (just as the pneumatic braking system engages)...awesome effect! I still love that ride, although I have yet to experience the weird sounding "Ghost Galaxy" deal, or whatever it is they do to it @ Haloween. My YouTube Channel: youtube.com/arcadedude44
RickR Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Posted February 12, 2015 I've done the Ghost Galaxy thing, and it's pretty neat. Cool projections.
