So I was at disneyland today and to my surprise two men were on space mountain painting it! It's about time...here's a pic with my camera phone. Sorry it's so bad, I didn't have my camera and this was the best I could get.

I was waiting in line at Space Mountain on Monday and told my friend with me that they really needed to paint it. I actually thought it looked like it had already been prepped to do that, I'm glad it's happening.

Well they were waiting for the rains to slow down. we are getting closer to the end of the winter season.

No sense painting it when large storms were being predicted for weeks.

Are you sure it's paint, or are they just washing it?

Paint or Wash ... its still an improvement :)

I'm just glad it's still in the white spectrum!

Hmm...well now that I think about it, it may have been a wash. They had two 5 gallon buckets attached to their belts, you can vaguely see it in the picture, wasn't sure if it was paint or some wash. They had maybe mops or some brush/roller on a pole as well.

Looking at the picture and remembering the Mountain in my mind's eye, it always seemed bigger relative to the size of the "painters".

Oh well...probably the forced perspective thing like on Main Street. :)

the water from the hoses was flooding backstage. sorry for the disappointment, but just getting the dirt off.....

Powerwashing can do wonders! I live near a sports dome, and when it's washed it's wondrous!
