This picture is taken from Screamscape.com and shows work progressing well on Space Mountain for the new park in Hong Kong:

Now, it's been rumoured/confirmed/whatever'd that the rebuild of Space Mountain in Anaheim is going to be a clone of this new version of the original ride. Phew, things are getting complicated aren't they?
To recap: the thinking behind this theory being that they simply told the ride manufacturers to make two of everything, one for Hong Kong and one for Anaheim, thus helping Esiner and Co. save a few dollar$.
What do you think, is this what Anaheim's rebuild will look like? How does this compare with the original layout of the ride (I'm not really familiar with the layout of the ride, it's in the dark after all :-) )?
IMO, for what it's worth, I think the layout of the ride in the picture looks pretty great with lots of twists and turns, and space for **theming** (remember that?). Not so sure about those grey walkways around the edge of the tracks though.
