No they're brand new trains. Upgrades to try to stop it giving you concussion!

Ive only ever been on Space Mountain once and I sat at the back and thought my head was going to fall off!  It was pure evil!!

Hopefully the new trains might help this problem and I'd love to hear from anybody who has ridden it with the new trains!

You'll have to wait until it opens in May for opinions  ;D

You do have to brace yourself quite a lot. It also seems to depend on height - my friend is a little taller than me and it always hurts her a lot more than it hurts me.

There should be soft openings in a few weeks so we should get more info then.

I'm 5ft 6 so not massively tall but I did make it worse by sitting at the back!  I always sit at the back cos it's the fastest but boy did I regret it!  My hubby loves it though and it doesn't rattle his bones as much as it does mine.  I think my age has got a bit to do with it though, the older I get the less enjoyable I'm finding the bone shakers!

Can't even articulate how excited I am to go on hyperspace mountain, that and star tours will be my ride highlights of July.. oh and thunder mountain since I've never ridden it before. Gonna be the best trip so far I think!
