Imagine my surprise when I headed up the Fastpass queue for Space Mountain last December to find it totally empty. Space Mountain was still experiencing unexpected downtime after a year long refit and I was the first to enter after one of them. The new video games where only showing patterns as they don’t become active unless the standby queue gets backed up. They have added more neon which is always a good thing for us, Disney photographers.
