Walt Disney World recently announced that Space Mountain, Disney's in the dark roller coaster thrill ride, will be undergoing renovations to better service their guests. Space Mountain has been a park favorite since its grand opening in 1975 and has never been updated. The ride will close on April 19th and will remain closed during renovations. The ride is expected to be closed through the Summer months. The 34 year old coaster was in need of some updating. Renovations will include changes to the ceiling, loading area and the track itself. Disney has been steadily working on updating all of their older rides throughout the Magic Kingdom. A date has not been set for the reopening of the ride.
