Disney’s Space Mountain Closed Forever, Ride Ends Operations After 40+ Years

One thing that Disney theme parks have never been is cheap. Between the cost of the hotel, theme park tickets, meals, and merchandise, the cost adds up very quickly. Many people save up for months or years to be able to afford one trip of a lifetime to a place like the Walt Disney World Resort.

Disney Finally Admits Why Parks Are Empty During Peak Season

Now that we know the first batch of attractions coming to Disney theme parks, the obvious question arises. What’s the new Disney expansion timeline? That’s an open-ended question, and there’s zero chance that we answer it accurately today. Still, we possess enough current information and knowledge of...

What’s the New Disney Expansion Timeline?

It is never fun to see an attraction close at Disney World, especially when it is forever. At all of the Disney theme parks, attractions tend to close all of the time. Take Walt Disney World Resort, for example; today alone, there are over 20 ride closures, including Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, Big Thunder Mountain, Kali River Rapids, Spaceship Earth, Slinky Dog Dash, Pirates of the Caribbean, and more. While none of these closures were planned, they all occurred all the same.

While Disneyland is full of a wide variety of immersive attractions, not all of them offer the same amount of appeal for visitors. Just as there are some Disneyland rides that may be unexpectedly scary for young kids, there are also rides that have undesirable effects on adults as well.

Disney has seemingly ditched a popular and “magical” feature in its theme parks. The Walt Disney Company prides itself on its vast collection of theme parks, advertising places like Walt Disney World as “The Most Magical Place on Earth.” While this claim could likely be refuted, it’s hard to deny just how many magical rides, attractions, and experiences await at places like the Magic Kingdom or the original Disneyland Resort.

In this week’s installment of Homeless Hotel Diary, broken glass again leads the lineup. Someone smashed a window in the lobby of Fusion Studios, the Colorado Coalition for the homeless property where I live and pay a third of my income for rent. This same person shattered the door to the case manager’s office and threw rocks through the windshield and side windows of the community van. Multiple residents told me who did the damage – the same person allegedly committed all three crimes – and last I knew that person still was at large. I could not get any official reports from Coalition staff. They were not available to speak with me Friday.
