Because when I went there on Grad Night I remember thinking that it HAD to be either Dick Dale (because they played a Dick Dale video on the monitors as we were standing in line) or Man or Astroman (because they would have fit in with the whole space theme) When I went back a few years later, there was definitely a different song, one that sounded more ambient and keyboard-y. Actually, it was kinda scary and made what was once a fun ride into a more scary ride! I remembered looking forward to hearing the surf guitar again, but was freaked out by the music that came on instead. I think there were two songs that were rotated, because I had heard the surf song on another visit. Glad to here about the submarines. That was one of my favorite rides as a little kid. Now if only they'll bring back the people movers (what was up with the Rocket Rods, anyway?), the circular movie theater, the sky-buckets, the little boats, the Polynesian Restaurant next to the Tiki Room, the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House, the caverns, the etc. etc. etc. [ Edited by: Trader_Rick on 2003-04-24 00:47 ]
