Having ridden it with the lights on and off.... it's scarier with the lights ON. So many spots where the structure is just above head level. LOL

In my opinion, Space Mountain is meant to be experienced with all of its effects, in near-total darkness. The main thing Space Mountain banks on is the unknown. Unless you’ve memorized every part of the track, you’ll never know what’s coming up ahead and that is what gives Space Mountain some, if not most of its intensity.

Space mountain isn’t really a fast ride, if I’m not mistaken the cars ride and test track are almost 2 times faster! (I think SM top speed is 27.5mph whilst the cars ride is 40mph & test track can reach 64.7mph!) What makes SM scary is how dark it is, causing unpredictability, how loud it is, how sharp the turns are, how bumpy of a ride it is & the seats! The one at DL is much smoother than this one and the DL car makes you feel MUCH safer!

Is the space mountain a good beginner roller coaster for people who don’t like big drops, but like turns and spins and speed?

[@A_A610]

Thunder Mountain is probably better with those aspects in mind, since it focuses on those elements more. The drops on this can be fairly aggressive depending on where you sit (generally tame in the front, but quite intense in in the back).

[@stevefowler2112]

Here's a few tidbits of info about Space Mountain...Fyi, I'm a retired, in 2016, Engineer with Lockheed Martin here in Orlando but I just finished a two year stint (I resigned in February) in Security at WDW and I worked in Custodial at Magic Kingdom back in '74 - '75 my Sr. year in H.S. The current speed of Space Mountain is 28 MPH (Fyi, 7 Dwarfs Mine Train is 32 MPH), but back in '74/'75 when the ride hadn't yet opened the cast members were allowed free test rides during their lunch breaks...at that time the Engineers had the speed at 50 MPH...I heard at the time the engineers also did test runs at 55 and 60 mph. When the ride opened in '75 it was set at 42 mph and it was completely blacked out inside so the girders could not be seen at all. After a couple "incidents" the speed was lowered several times (down to 35 mph, then 32 mph and finally to today's 28 mph) and the lights were turned up several times so the girders can easily be seen (so as to hopefully keep people from trying to stand up). Needless to say a blacked out SM at 50 MPH was a hair raising ride that you felt lucky to have survived...the G forces I remember were pretty damn forceful.

Space mountain isn’t really a fast ride, if I’m not mistaken the cars ride and test track are almost 2 times faster! (I think SM top speed is 27.5mph whilst the cars ride is 40mph & test track can reach 64.7mph!) What makes SM scary is how dark it is, causing unpredictability, how loud it is, how sharp the turns are, how bumpy of a ride it is & the seats! The one at DL is much smoother than this one and the DL car makes you feel MUCH safer! Kinda crazy how they managed to make this one of their “scariest” rides!! Work smarter, not harder!

The theming made it cost over 10 million so think again buddy

[@TarwTarw]

@@annadefranco You should ride Space Mountain in Disneyland Paris, it takes you to the bottom of a cannon and then shoots you up at 50mph. The one in Paris is much faster than any of the other Space Mountain's and it has 3 inversions, the only problem is the theming isn't as immersive or good as the other parks due to a 'bleugh' Star Wars skin, but this one is more of a thrill ride. It's cool standing outside of the mountain and looking at people get shot up the cannon aswell.

Don't worry about decapitation, they make sure any support is out of reach by any possible human being and they have tested that. If you could hit your hand or your head on anything on this ride, it would not be in operation. I'm pretty sure that the default clearance is ~8-9 ft for most rides.

He's all about the experience and space mountain does a great job at providing a memorable experience. Go to cedar point if you're looking for more.

[@trackmaster152002]

Not true at all. Walt Disney helped change the roller coaster industry and was indeed a big supporter. He hired Arrow Dynamics to make the first ever steel coaster -- Matterhorn Bobsleds. And he personally purchased a rescuing stake in Arrow Dynamics when they were going under. Without Arrow, we don't have a lot of the innovations that we have today. He just lived in a different time, and died young. He died before roller coasters started doing what they do today. If he was alive today, who knows, he'd probably be a roller coaster enthusiast himself.
