Disneys earlier Space concepts and themes were, I thought rather stereotypical of everyones idea of the future. Space Mountain in MK is no exception. However clichéd the theme it is still a decent ride, mainly because of the darkness though! Unforunately I doubt if it would have the same impact in daylight, sorry Disney. The building itself looks amazing from the outside, however is blown out of the stars (pardon the pun) by the Disneyland Paris version, where Tommorrowland is now Discoveryland, and everything is themed on the Jules Verne science fiction novels. Space Mountain here is amzing to even look at, and the ride? Oh my God! I rode it 23 times and wanted more! Effects, music and great theming add to this amazing version! Its got a "cannon" launch, inversions, and an on ride photo! I think MK and DLP could use a revamp of their Tommorrowland areas, as they are clearly well dated! Chocolate chip meteorite, anyone?
