I heared it is right before you see the loading area, but I don't think this is correct as the old lookout area looked out over the ride and this part of the queue is on the oppisite end of the building and no where near the coasters tracks. anyone know ?

There was one part of the track that came pretty close to the window, since every few seconds there would be a train running by, but I don't really know where in the course of the ride it was.

    If the Space Mountain model is still in the Opera House on Main Street when they reopen, it is labeled with the 'observation level' and 'PeopleMover level' to help show what part of the track it was.

Afterwords, you continue down the ramp, & into a hallway with some small monitors. You then reach another left hand 180 that takes you into the loading station.

    I'd say that last turn is more like 90 degrees to the left, isn't it?
