Cool TT ! You'll go during halloween celebration ! It's my favorite moment after Chrismass.
Hi amandine! It's right, since I create this topic, I don't explain what is realy about the new mission of space mountain. (It's a big english exercice to me loooool)
Firstly you must to know that space mountain mission 2 is a complete thematic rehab. The ride did not change! It's exactly the same than space mountain form the earth to the moon with loops etc... So don't be afraid, it's just more... magic ;)
Waw, I write 5 lines !! It's an exploit !! lol
So, for more informations about this new adventure, this is an extract of
www.dlrp.co.uk :
"One of the most important modifications concerns the launch, which now takes place from the lower part of the cannon. As a result, the length of the launch phase has been increased by nearly 40%. The initial acceleration will reach a speed of around 14 m/s and passengers will experience a G-force of nearly 1.3 N!
The attraction itself sees guests catapulted into outer space, where they will find themselves confronted with a series of cosmic phenomena that will cause the spacecraft to rapidly change direction as their space vehicle takes evasive measures. The daredevil passengers will only just escape a spectacular supernova - a cataclysmic explosion of a giant star that, for a moment, shines brighter than an entire galaxy - before they return to earth after traveling through a luminous "vortex".
The Music
It goes without saying that music plays an integral part of the Space Mountain: Mission 2 experience. Michael Giacchino, the world famous composer whose scores notably include the music to the Disney/Pixar movie The Incredibles and the American television series Alias, has created the sonic background that will accompany passengers along their journey. Completely synchronised to the "story", the music is an essential part of this new mission, accentuating all the special effects and, in particular, reinforcing the dramatic nature of the situation when the spacecraft is confronted with the supernova explosion. Michael Giacchino has worked diligently to ensure that the music follows the scenario and visual effects as closely as possible, plunging guests even further into the heart of this breathtaking adventure.
The Space Mountain vehicles have also undergone modifications for Space Mountain : Mission 2. Like the "Soundtracker" vehicles on the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith attraction in Walt Disney Studios Park, all seats are now equipped with five loudspeakers, one on each side of the head, two around the hips and one on foot level, to offer an optimal aural experience.
As well as the loudspeakers built into the seats, a highly specialised team will install a large number of other speakers in the attraction's structure to further emphasise the various sound effects.
Visual effects
Unlike Space Mountain - where the trip takes place in the dark - Space Mountain: Mission 2 is based on the extensive use of visual effects. In addition to the large amount of lighting effects used to develop the story, Disney's Imagineers have added projections of star fields to give visitors the immediate impression of being in space, as well as new projections of comets and meteors and the supernova explosion.
Pre-launch
While waiting to board Space Mountain, guests were provided with glimpses of the attraction through a number of openings. For this new mission, which goes far further and deeper into space, the decision was taken that the part of the attraction leading to the boarding platform would be enclosed. Waiting passengers will be able to admire a large number of photos showing the various phenomena to be found in the universe, such as quasars, novas and comets, and through this exhibition, prepare themselves for their future close encounter.
