Episode #2 - "Space Mountain - Back to the Future!" - July 27, 2006
We reported in this podcast that the Rockit Mountain was open or in soft openings. This is incorrect and we are sorry. Rockit Mountain is scheduled to open in the Spring of 2007 with the Year of a Million Dreams. It was also stated that the ride will have music of a VanHalen-esc feel. This has not been confirmed. There was talk that because Rockit Mountain was advertised as part of 2006 Grad Nights, a modified version of what was actually planned for the ride, was rushed out in May and June. This modified version was rumored to include VanHalen music. It has not been confirmed that any VanHalen music was used for Grad Nights.
