Well, the rumors are true!

In early April, Walt Disney World’s Space Mountain is going down for a bit of a refurb!

You may remember a few years ago when the Disneyland version did the same. This planned refurb is going to try to make the WDW version a bit more like DL’s.

They are replacing the track to allow for a smoother ride, but they are not redesigning the track layout itself. They are also updating the loading area, a bit of the queue line, and the ceiling. Because of the refurb, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority will also be down, but it is unclear what they will be doing to it at this time (I guess they don’t want too many people to see Space Mountain with the lights on!).

I think this is a great idea. Last time I was on Space Mountain back in July, it was a bit bumpy. Even my brother, who loves it like that, complained a bit.

Regardless, I’ll be heading back in early March, right before the refurb, so I’ll be sure to enjoy it one last time before it gets updated!
