Disneyland in July, Part 4
7.31.2005 1:14 PM \| Link	How about a few more Disneyland experiences? Tomorrowland is looking much better with it's new paint job (though I really hope they get rid of the big bronze rocks at the entrance), and Dae and I really enjoyed the two new ride experiences there! The newly-rebuilt Space Mountain is simply amazing! I wasn't sure what to expect, since I knew it was going to be the same track layout, but my gosh, this is a serious improvement! Roller coasters have come a long way since the original Space Mountain in 1977, and the ride is smoother than ever - it really makes you feel like you're flying rather than rolling. The new effects in the launch and re-entry tunnels are spectacular - my face was frozen in total shock at what I was seeing. The loading area is really cool, and the new soundtrack (which sounds awesome on the new ride vehicle speakers) by the composer for The Incredibles really adds to the show. Can you tell I liked the ride? We also rode the new Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, which is a near copy of the Florida version, but with some enhancements that really make it more fun. The guns are connected by cords rather than being attached to the vehicle, so you have a huge range of motion, and the targets give you a great indication of when you've made a hit. The final effect of Buzz blasting Zurg is really amazing, too - I don't know how they did it! They take your photo on the ride and let you email it, so here's Dae and I having fun (click the photo for the complete image). Of course, Dae beat me by just a little! Today's photos focus on Sleeping Beauty Castle and some of the 50th anniversary logos - and I still have one more set of photos for you soon!
