[The Not-Lit Meteor]

Before I say something, I want to say that our Space Mountain is still my favorite ride ever, and I'll try not to compare it to Hong Kong's but knowing me, that's what I'll probably end up doing. Anyways...

I've seen pictures and even a video with the lgiths on and off (of Space MOuntain in Hong Kong, and then I see videos of our Space Mountain, we have the same layouts, but I see differences. Hong Kong's Space Mountain has meteors scattered everywhere, they have stuff like meteor showers, effects on the 'big drop', etc. Why don't we have those? Is it because of budget? Or maybe because Hong Kong had a longer time to Imagineer all these things? IMHO, we should at least have some of what they have, after all, it is Disneyland Aneheim's 50th Birthday.

I don't know if there is a good factual reason why we don't have these, but it would be nice to see some ideas.

Once again, I tried my hardest not to compare, but to make a point. If I sounded like I was comparing the two, I didn't mean to. Although, it is easier to compare two Space Mountains (rather than Matterhorn and Expedition Everest, like I did in the past =] )

I also <3 our Space Mountain...
