The long tunnel section where you go down, then back up at the end.

So how would this fit with all the Nextel transmission towers that have been erected all over property? Doesn't Disney have a business relationship with Nextel?

The reason it goes down and then up again and is so long is that it's going underneath the railroad track.

any way SSE is I think one of the last old school attractions in the park
a nice refurb and new sponsership
but please dont change the root of this great attraction

Interesting.

The good news is that the wand is gone. The bad news is that Mickey's hand is now holding a giant Motorola Razr cell phone!

The queue/tunnel for Space Mountain. It's a long, underground tunnel. From ground level in Tomorrowland it goes down for a while, and then comes back up, since it's passing underneath the railroad tracks. The exit does the same thing.

Gotcha. I misread. I thought you were writing about the queue for Spaceship Earth. My bad. Thanks for clarifying.

I had the same problem, hence my original question. Sometimes you gotta actually READ these threads . . .

So that adds to the sponsorship soup.

Now, welcome to SSE, sponsored by Cuba? Wouldn't that be cool?
