I'm sorry, I'm confused here. Are you saying SM is back up too? I thought it was under construction until December sometime.

??

TTA opened with no major changes - but space is still closed and the view into it is blocked off. No news leaking about SM itself from this opening that I can find.

Re: TTA. Open!!! NO major changes to Space!

Yeah, reading it back again I see it now. I don't really know what I saw that made me think that.

I guess I'm just getting antsy waiting for SM to reopen, as I was shocked on the 4th of July when we showed up and it was closed. That was before I started reading these forums. Had I found this earlier I would not have been taken aback when we were excited to see an empty SM area only to find it closed.

no changes to TTA doesn't surprise me. The only reason it was closed is because of construction inside Space.

Re: TTA. Open!!! NO major changes to Space!

TTA did soft reopen today. It was closed when I tried to ride though. Space Mountain is not open, I'm guessing the OP meant that there was no visible changes from TTA. According to my CM friend working in Tomorrowland there's just a big curtain covering the part of the track inside Space, so unfortunately no sneak previews yet.

Re: TTA. Open!!! NO major changes to Space!

the refurb is more operational than cosmetic. and if you noticed when you entered SM, it's completely blocked off from watching the queue/load area. that will remain after SM opens. the loading dock will be covered. more darkness on track, more light for the CMs on dock! woo-hoo! HAHA!

Re: TTA. Open!!! NO major changes to Space!

I wouldn't say there are no changes. The covered queue of SM means TTA will have a lot less to look at.

And TTA itself has changes, courtesy of the new lighting scheme. More on this later this week in my update (unless Al splits it into two weeks' worth of updates)

sucks for TTA but helps keep Space darker w/ a covered load dock. it's a win/lose situation for both involved. win for Space, lose for TTA.

i believe they also changed the turntable & consoles.

Re: TTA. Open!!! NO major changes to Space!

yeah, the turntable is spit-shine polished. It looks like it's got water on it, it shimmers so much. I did a double-take the first time I saw it.

Oh well. At least the second best ride in Tomorrowland will still be open when I visit in October.
