In this series, we'll be looking at details that are hidden all around you at the parks. The Imagineers do a great job placing in many hidden gems and things to try that one has to take a moment to notice, or explore. Many of these are obvious and in plain sight, and some are hidden quite well, you just have to know where to look.
In this week's In the Details, we take a look at another hidden gem in Space Mountain. As you exit on the conveyor path, to the left is a baggage pick-up, to reclaim your checked items for your spaceflight. On the baggage conveyor is a well traveled container, having gone to many places. Two places of note is Mesa Verde, and Alpha-Centauri, locations from the late Horizons. The first, Mesa Verde, is an actual location within the ride, famous for its hover car, desert farms, and the weather on the horizon.
The second isn't an actual Horizons location, but related to the space section of the ride. The actual in-ride location was Brava-Centauri. However, noted in a pre-show spiel, there was a whole line of Centauri-class space stations. Alpha would most likely be prior to Brava. In reality, as well, Alpha Centauri is also the closest of a group of stars that make up our closest interstellar neighbors. Thanks to Jeffl8ton for reminding me of that!
