[@nathanfleming1226]

Was we’ve come so far played at the exterior of the exit?

The Adrenaline Company this soundtrack IS SO AWESOME

[@villanuevalogistics782]

Well I have a question why did space mountain have “we’ve come so far” in 1984 it was supposed to have here’s to the future

"Space shuttle, this is flight safety. Keep your hands on the handrail or inside the vehicle and remain seated while in motion. You are cleared for launch."

[@Trainlover1995]

The Starport Seven-Five, Star Tunnel, and Third Tunnel Ambience tracks are still in place. Disney never bothered to remove them, probably for good reason.

[@Theme_parchive]

They’re iconic at this point. It would be stupid to get rid of them. Wouldn’t feel the same.

[@user-qjvqfjv]

Starport Seven-Five has been my alarm clock for the last half decade.

[@alexsmith8448]

I play this and shut my eyes and remember entering space mountain as a child. The entrance bit was always clear and then you hit the queue in the dark tunnel with the glass window space ships and the beautiful music. The RCA music playing as you left on the moving walkway with your image on the TVs! 1.30 hours later back into the bright Florida sunshine and heat and off to Tomorrowland plaza for some chicken noodle soup and a chicken burger meal (containing tomato) . Awesome

[@jameswilson4426]

Everything about this is fantastic. :) The music brings back great memories, and the picture is charming nostalgia.

[@DumasP]

I've never really been on this ride before, since my family went to Disneyland more than WDW. But this soundtrack is so well done, it feels nostalgic and beautiful. Also, you did a very good job at compiling them! Good video all around!!

[@LemonGoofball]

Lol I remember listening to this in 10th grade English now I’m a sophomore in college and I’m still coming back to this video 😂

[@LemonGoofball]

Wow this was 4 months ago wow

[@chasesmithproductions8484]

Just rode Space Mountain for the first time today at Disneyland and I was so disappointed that we have no queue music at all!!

[@TheInflicted]

Ah, so the revised Star Tunnel music was what was used in the unload area during this period? The whole idea of using progressive, intermeshing loops for each section of the queue and exit areas is so genius- when was the first time Disney employed this technique? Haunted Mansion? I wonder if it had any earlier, non-Disney applications, at something like a World's Fair exhibit or something.

[@Foxxy999]

+TheInflicted I'm frankly not certain what played in the Unload area at this point - possibly nothing at all. The live recordings I have of the 80s Space Mountain seems inconclusive. The first Disney attraction that really used the synchronous soundtrack idea was It's A Small World - the original plan was to have each nation sing its national anthem, but of course it was cacophony in practice.

[@TheInflicted]

Foxxy Hooves It would be a fun research project for someone to see if someone experimented with synchronized, permanently-installed audio loops before 1964. Has anyone ever speculated that "We've Come So Far" might be a surplus/rejected tune from one of the many EPCOT projects? Because I would like to so speculate.

[@jetraydude]

+TheInflicted I would agree given "We've Come So Far"s lyrics, but the melody is the same as Space Mountain's. Maybe the lyrics themselves were taken from an Epcot reject or something.

[@TheInflicted]

jetraydude Wasn't all the 1984 Space Mountain music added at once, though? It's not like "We've Come So Far" was written to comport with music already playing at the attraction before the refurb.

[@jetraydude]

+TheInflicted Heck, I don't know. Totally could have been.

[@LemonGoofball]

I wish I was alive these days , I would sacrifice everything I have now just to experience these old things

[@ZacBrzuchalski]

Star Port 75, Star tunnel, and Third tunnel music is still the same..... i always love the music in Star tunnel section.

[@LemonGoofball]

Zac Brzuchalski hes true but the theme song with the voices is gone and it’s so beautiful

[@ZacBrzuchalski]

@@LemonGoofball true... but it's here on youtube..... so next time you are leaving Space Mountain... put your headphones on and listen to it on your phone while you exit Space Mountain.

[@MrAwesomedude808]

I read on twitter that the people who sang this are the some duo that sings the version of There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow in the unload theater of Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress, now that I listen, it might as well be the same people! I wonder what other WDW songs these 2 did together. and for that matter WHO are they?

[@knightwish5175]

MrAwesomedude808 MrAwesomedude808 It’s probably just production music. Most artists remain anonymous in the field of production music. Heck, even Shazam fails to pick up some PM. A lot of people didn’t really credit songs like these in the 1970s through to the 1980s as it’s made for an attraction. Nothing more, nothing less. Hence, the fairly poor sound quality. You’re not really meant to pay attention to this song, it’s just there playing in the background (like on a t.v advert/commercial). For example, the ‘Star Tunnel’ loop might be very poor quality in the SM queue, but you’d never know as you don’t necessarily go out out of your way to listen closely. My guess would be that Disney hired two random singers from two different groups and stuck them together for a quick duet.

[@MrAwesomedude808]

KnightWish517 after some digging online several months ago, I’m happy to see that our featured duet finally have two names: Gloria Kaye (married to Richard Bellis) and Joe Pizzulo (a rather unknown vocalist from the 80s). The two first sang together on New Horizons for Horizons (May it Rest In Peace) in 1982 before performing “Promising Tomorrows” for space mountain (so mad they removed the song! It’s too beautiful to ignore!) in 1984. The two then went on to do a song for a foreign film not by Disney (there’s not much about it other than a full movie on line and a foreign Wikipedia). In 1989, Gloria Kaye went on to record the delta Dream flight song for the attraction of the same name which played at the exit and would later re-record the song with new lyrics when delta dropped sponsorship. In 1993/1994, the duo made a triumphant return to the parks and recorded “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” for the Carousel of Progress as the audience made one final turn into the unload theater and an empty theater went to the load theater for another round of guests. In 1995, Joe recorded vocals for “Seize the Future” in ExtraTERRORestrial alien encounter. Unfortunately Horizons closed in 1999, RCA removed sponsorship in ‘93 leaving “Promising Tomorrows” at most still playing for a while in ‘94 during fed ex’s sponsorship, dreamflight closed in ‘98, Alien Encounter closed in ‘04. All of the recordings in the parks by the duet were gone. All but one. The duet can still be heard singing their hearts out as the Carousel turns to have a theater filled with guests is thanked by Jean Shepherd. I have been very lucky to have captured the beginning part of the song (before “man has a dream”) NUMEROUS times on recording.

It is. Most of the animatronics were moved from Horizons in Epcot to Space Mountain when Space Mountain was refurbed back in 2009/2010

I remember that back in the eighties when I fist visited WDW, the ambience music for the star tunnel was an RCA recording of Isao Tomita's "The Planets". Anyone else remembers this, or is it false memories?
