Space Mountain to Close for Renovation

According to the Orlando Sentinel one of the most reputable amusement rides in the world, Space Mountain, will be closed for a makeover. The ride will close on April 19th and will not open again until the end of 2009.

This decision is bound to leave Space Mountain fans, such as myself, curious and a little concerned. While I am sure that they are going to be making the ride even more enjoyable, I can't help but wonder if they are going to change a lot of things about it. If you recall, there has been some issues with the ride ever since an elderly man was killed on it in December of 2006. Although the problems were never Disney or Space Mountain's fault (they all had preexisting conditions), it certainly didn't help Disney's reputation.

All in all, whatever they are doing to the historic roller coaster I'm sure will be well worth the wait. While the ride is down, please remember that the Magic Kingdom has a plethora of other rides to keep you entertained. The Magic Kingdom has always been the magical place that I have never been able to everything I wanted all in one day. There is just way too much to do there.

Even without Space Mountain, grabbing a pair of Disney Tickets will give you the adventure of a lifetime!
