Disneyland to close Space Mountain during busy summer season

Disneyland plans to close Space Mountain during the middle of the busy summer vacation season to overhaul the 1977 indoor roller coaster that takes riders on a high-speed journey through the dark with many twists, turns and dips.

Space Mountain will undergo a seasonal refurbishment beginning on Aug. 5 and remain temporarily unavailable for about a month, according to Disneyland officials.

After more than four decades of thrills, the popular coaster consistently has one of the longest lines in Disneyland.

The coaster ride through the dark lends itself to thematic overlays that employ video projections on the inside walls of the futuristic man-made mountain.

Disneyland often adds a Hyperspace Mountain overlay during annual Star Wars celebrations and a Ghost Galaxy overlay during the Halloween season.
