Yay! Grad Night '77...I was there too MDM...my 8th grade graduation party.

As a roller coaster enthusiast a chance to explore the building (and ride)Space Mountain with the building's safety lights ON was greatly anticipated. As a rare chance to do this, I took up the offer.

The experience was a bummer. Being able to see everything - reminded one of a glorified portable carnival coaster. SM is a much better ride experience with the safety lights OFF (of course!)

I was skeptical when I heard about Disney installing audio to the ride. I love Dick Dale but as a soundtrack on this roller coaster? Marginal improvement.

Audio soundtracks to roller coasters is a trend I personally don't embrace.

Example: Magic Mountain with its X2 and Terminator rides incorporating audio on-board somehow lessens the ride experience for me. Kids don't seem to mind though. Just ramblin'.
