Spooky Space Mountain/Haunted Space Mountain Idea...

[MasterGracey]

Actually, they do have the money. They just CHOOSE not to put more money into their attractions than they could. However, with this being MY idea more money would be pumped into this than with Rockin' Space Mountain.

And as for the technicality about Halloween not making sense in space, um...since when does talking fish, man-sized mice, and a shoot 'em out space adventure with a being by the name of Zorg make sense?

When you get right down to it if it's made to look like it makes sense, it will. If it's done half-a**ed, it won't.

...Joe...

Talking fish from an animated film make sense in an underwater submarine adventure. The storyline of Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, despite being poorly themed to Tomorrowland, makes sense - you're helping Buzz Lightyear defeat his arch nemisis - The Evil Emporer Zurg. And Mickey Mouse is an animated characrter- and the character that started it all, he's a Disney icon and makes sense being at a Disney themepark.

In their respective locations and in the contexts in which your examples are presented, they all make perfect sense.

Giant jack-o-lanterns and floating skulls in outerspace make absolutely no sense with the outerspace theme of Space Mountain.

Sorry, but I just don't buy your examples.

That's right! The fog effect could work perfectly towards the beginning and at the end!

Thanks for the idea about the fog!

Fog would not be the best thing. Considering that Too much Fog in an enclosed building means not only bad eyesight when the lights come on for cleaning, but also health problems because even the safe smoke is dangerous when you breath in too much!

It's a decent idea but I think we've had too many overlays lately (of SM and other attractions) and when this happens they become less special. Sort of like the endless promotions of the park, I mean at this point after the 50th, Halloweentime, the annual Christmas overlay, and now YOAMD I'd say enough already. I can't wait for "regular Disneyland" to return. Who knows if it ever will. I have a bad feeling we may go straight from YOAMD(R), to Halloweentime this fall, then Christmas and some other promotion.
I mean I like the promotions alright, and they're fine every once in a while to spice things up. It's nice to see the park decorated sometimes, like when your girl puts on nice makeup for a fancy date, but too much makeup all the time and you're dating a clown. Right now with all the Dream swirls (R), DL is starting to look more like a clown.

Space Mountain infested with ghosts sounds cool actually. A haunted spaceship theme basically. I don't know how they would pull it off well though. There isn't a lot to theme in Space Mountain.

If you want to make a scary space mountain, there are plenty of scary movies that revolve around space so you don't have to put flying skulls and jack-o-lanterns.

Alien anyone?

Alien Encounter/Space Mountain theme.

While doing some of those straight aways, The horseman could run along side of you. Via projection of coarse.

To be honest, I would rather have an Alien theme Halloween Mountian

I love the idea!

True, I never thought of that. But, maybe just a little bit of fog that's water based. Something similar to what performers use on stage. If it was done this way then I don't think there would be hardly any complaints about it. And as for the visibility, if it was used sparingly in the right spots it could help whatever effect is at that particular location on the ride.

That's an awesome idea! I love it!

On a side note, I too think a cool alien touch to Space Mountain would be pretty cool.

Thanks guys for your positive feedback. It's always appreciated!

Wasn't there a Halloween movie or Friday the 13th or something like that took place in outer space on a space ship or something?
