Space Mountain Refurb -- Reopens October 26!

[joseph821]

Space Mountain goes down for a refurb beginning on Monday, September 18 and will reopens Oct. 26.

I do not know how long the refurb will be or what work is being done.

I will update accordingly.

Aww, man. I'm there not long after. Hopefully it's a short one.

Same for me, hope it doesn't take more than 2.5 weeks...

Bummer. That is my first day in the park. I thought they did a Halloween overlay? I was looking forward to that.

I don't think they've done Ghost Galaxy in a while.

Interesting, thanks for the info. Still a bummer it will be closed.

Thanks for the update. I am a bit distracted I have been in Disneyland since Wednesday morning and I leave on the 16th!

I feel like that’s a really odd time for refurbishment…

Depending on meteorological or astrological, fall starts beginning or end of September and ends beginning or end of December… so maybe down until mid November? Huge part of a very busy season to miss…

YUCK!

I'm there till Oct 15th. This will be the first year in like five trips down there that a major attraction has been down for refurb while I'm there... booo

Bummer, no Space Mountain for me.
But that seems to be a running gag for my visits. Despite being from Europe, I usually visit WDW, but almost everytime I visit DLP Hyperspace Mountain is closed. So of course for my first ever visit to DL it had to be the same.

I’m sorry. Such a bummer. I wonder why the long refurb at one of the busiest times of the year?

There's a LOT of rides being taken down for Refurbishment lately. Is there a reason why?

Possibly delayed work from COVID times? Things backed up, short staffed, and supply shortages? I would imagine things would be deferred as much as possible to get back into routine cycles… but maybe time caught up with them?

Fantasyland refurbs for Peter Pan, Alice, Toad were for repairs due to rain and fireworks damage to the roof. During my trip in mid August, Toy Story was down. It seems DL is on a yearly schedule for refurb not seasonally.
