Rockit Mountain
Also part of this major "new" Space Mountain is a nighttime transformation of the attraction to Rock It Mountain, in which the calmer soundtrack of the attraction in daytime hours will be replaced at night by a driving rock soundtrack, and different special effects. A special version of Rock it Mountain premiered for Grad Nite 2006, with a track by rock group Hoobastank. The general public opening will not be until 2007, as a soundtrack artist is still not found, and most of the special effects required for the attraction are not in place yet. Rock it Mountain (Rockin' Space Mountain) is scheduled to premier during the "Year of a Million Dreams" Celebration.
Rock It Mountain will not use the **** Dale soundtrack that many Disney fans enjoyed, but the **** Dale Space Mountain theme makes one final appearance on Disneyland's 50th Anniversary 6-CD box set.
More recently commentors on Disney-fan sites and videos taken from Grad Nite 2006 has revealed that the full effects for ROCK IT Mountain are not in place and that Walt Disney Imagineering has not fully completed the project, the reason being that Space Mountain was rushed to completion in time for the 50th (the original plans to open late November were pushed to July 15th) and in the process Rock It show elements were put on hold. Plus, it has been hinted that Rockit Mountain may never be a reality, due to the fact that some special effects illuminate portions of the track, thus taking away Space Mountain's main distinction from other roller coasters.
