Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy 2010 - Disney Flashback Friday

There's little use in denying the fact that Halloween Time at Disneyland is one of our favorite times of the year!  Disneyland really upped the ante a couple of years ago, however, with the annual transformation of our beloved Space Mountain into Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy.  Anyone familiar with Disneyland (or Walt Disney World for that matter) probably knows all about the premise of Space Mountain.  Shoot around the stars (virtually, at least) on a roller coaster in the dark.  Always been one of our favorites!  But add in a "Space Ghost" named "Bob" who chases you all over the place and pops up at the most inopportune of times, some creepy music and lighting, and you've got Ghost Galaxy!  We've heard of adults getting creeped out on the ride (shame on you!) and seen children come off with tears in their eyes.  But as for us, we say bring it!

Last week we braved the massive crowds to be able to say we rode it this year on opening day (as opposed to just opening weekend like we have the past two years), and it made us look back at last year's pictures for some good laughs.  We thought we'd share them with you today.  If you haven't already ridden Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy you need to.  And if you live out of state, fly here immediately and ride it.

Enjoy!

MJ gets ready for his VERY FIRST ride on Ghost Galaxy

First time riding last year... and we get stuck halfway up the first hill and have to disembark - Chad tweets and Mark panics!

It IS good Debs! :) We wish you could too :)
Yeah, that was before we got on our "napping" kick - I wouldn't be surprised if we don't nap on it at some point this year, though, so stay tuned! :)
