They could also fit in 1 coaster similar to the existing one. The trains would have on board audio. It would be radio communication like "10, 9, 8, 7,..." or "Initiat roll over" With rocket blast off and light fxs and so forth. It would be so cool to be standing next to the tower when you hear a loud rumble and the rocket shaped coaster train shoots out of the hole at 93 mph climbs up the tower as it twists to the inside of the tower, a flash of light as it enters the tube and its gone. Have some cheesy easy listening playing as they pull the rocket around into launch position. Some excessively pleasant lady explaining we need to remain seated with our heads against the headrest and thanks us for flying Disney's Space Train more easy listening the Pilot breaks in with the countdown and BOOM. This ride would make the Hulk mess his pants.

I hope they stick to the same type of version - a family version, but make it darker in there, improve the sound etc. A catapult launch may be OK -- but there is always something nicer abour the anticipation of the slow climb to enhance a coaster - just IMHO.

Originally Posted By brotherdave I totally agree with you, vbdad! The ride, as a coaster, was fine. Some new track to make it smoother, darken the building, add some state of the art effects, maybe an onboard sound system, and the result would be an improved ride that families could still enjoy.

Everything seems all right at first...and then BAM something goes wrong...strobe lights and loops and then at the end the cuddly, ever-so-cute, spokesalien BDR7461 apologizes and the gross, latex, alien designer says, "I guess it's back to the drawing board for me." ...or just leave it like it is with a theme and not a story...
