Space Mountain needs the BTMRR treatment ASAP

I am not one to normally complain about park maintenance but poor Space Mountain needs to be taken down for a LONG time and given some serious TLC.

I took my partner to Disney last week, it was their first time ever, and we rope dropped Space Mountain. After our quick 20 min wait, as we're going up the lift hill I noticed that the Omega lift was completely stopped. As we crested the hill the lights came up and we rode down in full light with no sound or effects. I had been waiting almost 30 years to finally get to do that, so it was fun for me, but not the best way to introduce the parks to someone who had never been before.

We tried to ride it another 3 times over the course of the week and every time our Lightning Lane window came up it was down again (unrelated, but Pirates did the same thing all week).

When they announced the BTMRR retrack I was shocked they chose that over Space and I continue to be shocked. Once that reopens they need to take Space down for a long time and give it the overhaul it needs and deserves.

I would love to see a full track rebuild the way Disneyland's was, with the audio being moved onboard if possible. I know the current track is unable to support the weight of the audio system cars so a rebuild would hopefully negate that.

What other improvements would people like to see?
