Originally opened in 1977, the Anaheim version of Disney's indoor "wild mouse" coaster ride through space now features an on-ride musical soundtrack, as well as a special Halloween version, "Ghost Galaxy" that runs in October.

Disneyland's Space Mountain also includes a dedicated loading bay for disabled guests, so they can load at their pace. The ride vehicle is on a platform that will eventually be slid into place and take off like other ride vehicles.

What a lame coaster. The theming can't make up for no drops. The fact that the ride is all right turns makes riding it in the dark pointles-no surprise. Now that WDW has sound, there's not much going for this version. Big Thunder has bigger and more drops. Over rated. - Skipper Adam

Love this coaster. This is what u can do with a, at best, an average coaster when u heavy theme it. Its the best indoor coaster I have ridden. Ghost Galaxy is also very good. I like that it is much darker. 10/10 - Will Chilcote

I love this ride. you have to ride it when you go to disneyland. worth the long lines. not only is it fast, fun, & a family coaster, but it makes you feel like you flying through space, seeing all the stars and planets. - N O

I rode this When I was five, and this coaster has more of a drop than any other ride in the park - Steven D

IMO, way better than Disneyworld's awkward silent version of the ride. A true Disneyland classic! - Tommy Nelson

The best attraction in tomorrowland. Fast and enjoyable ride. The fact that it is dark and hard to see where you're going makes this ride more exciting. During Halloween they add ghostly graphics and call this theme Ghost Galaxy. - Erik Avila

You can't miss Space Mountain when you come to Disneyland. This one of the best attractions anywhere. So much fun. Space Mountain has an amazing sound track that makes traveling thru space even more exciting. Its a 10 out of 10 and its worth the wait. - nick .

The best ride at Disneyland and so much fun, wish the lines werent as long so i could have ridden it more than once...tip: if you want to get a fastpass for this ride get it early! The day we were there in October we went to get a fast pass at about 10:30 and found the next return tim was 8:30 at night! - Rachelle Beaney

amazing ride! the themeing is perfect and the line goes by quick. its fast and has some good twists! i always get a head rush wen i get on but i love that rush! - isaiah mercado

7/10 It's a good ride, but I wish it were a tad bit longer. It's not on my top 5 favorite rides, but still fun. - Margaret S
