It's great that the picture will be linked to PhotoPass! I really liked that about Test Track! I think all the on-ride photos should be linked to PhotoPass!

What is that lady doing? Is she caressing the Space Mountain sign?

She`s looking for the LEDs. Then trying to hide her dissappointment.

At least it looks like we have neon - notice the missing strips at the base of the sign? A photo the other day showed workers installing tubes along the same section.

What "new technologies" did they put into the track? Certainly not a silent lift hill :lol:

"It’s the same track layout and overall look and feel but workers integrated new technology into the track while not changing the classic Space Mountain ride experience."

EDIT: I guess he could of meant ride controls, but he says it caught his eye, and I know a new control system wouldn't catch my eye rofl

Exactly! who wants to have to make a split second decision after getting off the ride if you want the pic or not. I never understood why they didn't do that as soon as they started PhotoPass.

I always heard it was due to contract issues with existing attractions that had not run out yet (with Kodak?) but if this one also doesn't have photopass, that puts that theory to rest, partially at least...

I'm guessing that is part of what we'll be seeing in the arcade, our post-ride photos place
