I was about to forgive Disney for making such a terrible park, but then I rode Space Mountain and found out that they ruined it.

BTW, France's is a true-blue, full-sized coaster. Not fair.

They got rid of the awesome surf music.

Oh, wait. I actually do. But, I don't know his songs, so at least that partially makes up for it. To be fair, I don't think there's an arrangement of this song on it, though. I wouldn't know, I only own it for a solo I was playing in high school.

I've been trying to make up for it though.
And why would anyone go to Disney for Roller Coasters? You've at least got a Six Flags nearby, right? Or some other mom and pop amusement park?
I went to Disney in Orlando a few years ago, went on that 'ride' designed by Lucas, the one with the Aliens that escape and bump your feet and mist your neck... yea, its that awesome. Actually the park felt rather claustophobic. Definately designed for little people who live on the yellow brick road.
<!-- Advert coming up -->
Cedar Point on the other hand, has so much space between the attractions its very comfortable to walk through the various parts of the park.
<!-- end useless plug -->

That one is now based on Stitch from Disney's Lilo and Stitch. Yeah, they changed it.
And Evan, I listened to Carnival of Animals today, and while I didn't compare the two side-by-side, I'm pretty sure that the catchy Hawaiian tune we hear and Carnival of Animals share little musical base. I'll listen again in a few hours, maybe. Perhaps it'll even be side-by-side, too.

Side by side will do nothing for you, the surf music from Space Mountain just stole the melody, added a rhythm section, and completely reworked it (on guitar!).
edit: it's by Dick Dale! "In the late 1990s, he recorded a surf-rock version of Camille Saint-Saëns's "Aquarium" from The Carnival of the Animals for the musical score of the enclosed roller coaster, Space Mountain at Disneyland in Anaheim, California."

Although a surprising amount was carried over from Alien Encounter to Stitch's Great Escape, Stitch is not remotely scary.

The ride actually blows you with fans so that it feels faster than it really is.
