Space MountainRoller coasterMinimum height to ride: 44 inches About Space MountainSpace Mountain is a wild-mouse type roller coaster in the dark. With two tracks operating at the same time, guests board sleek rocket trains with one-behind-another seating and blast off on an adventure through space. Recently, the ride has reopened from a long nine-month refurbishment. The track is now much smoother and the ride much darker. New interactive games have also been added to the queue line. -- Last edited by John Quinteros [Update this description | Read previous versions] Photos from Space Mountain

Readers' Opinions
It isn't that good is it? Very old-fashioned. - Mark Moore Its a good ride but i definetly have to say all six flags rollercoasters blow space mountaian away this rides top speed is 27 mph six flags are like 50 mph and above..but overall its a really good first rollercoaster for someone - Arianna Biffle Amazingly awesome ride!! I rode it for the first time 10 years ago and it was a great experience. I can hardly wait to do it again at the end of this year. - Jasmine Grant Commendable. Rode for the first time in April and amazed that it provides the same thrills that today's modern coasters do. The darkness adds that unexpected thrill. Excited to see what the '09 refurb brings to this classic attraction. - Adam Nodjomian Commendable. It's amazing how few injuries occur on this ride, considering the proximity of the supports to the riders. People are too terrified to put their arms up because they have no idea what happens next. But that's just it - the absence of light adds so much to this standard coaster that it elevates its re-ride-ability. - Joshua Counsil This classic ride was the first of its kind when it opened in 1976. It may look kind of dated from the inside compared to Disneyland's superior version but this ride is still very good. Though it lacks music the thrills and sights are fun. The back seat is especially fun since it gives a more thrilling experience. The indoor queue is also one of my favorites. It's dark, fresh, and has a retro feeling to it. Space Mountain has since been copied to all the other Disney resorts but this is the one that started it all. A fun must do ride. This is a popular ride so waits are very long for this(40-90 minutes). Get a fastpass early as they do runout or do this first thing in the morning. - Manny Barron Space Mountain is a classic and I always enjoy riding it. The best time that I had from it was when there was no line and we walked right on twice. I love that it is in the dark and you don't know when you are about to turn. It's a great ride. - Josh Wadkins Always a long wait. The inside of the ride is pretty cool. The car you ride in feels dated, which makes it feel even more scary. Seems like you are going to smash your face off one of the wood boards. - roger murdock I love this ride, but it's so outdated! I am looking forward to the 2009 refurb. Like walt said,"Keep Moving Forward" - maya wilson
