Space Mountain (WDW) with the lights on POV!

[@theintamindude]

Ah, my childhood coaster & a POV I've been watching ever since it was uploaded. Finally going back to magic kingdom in December, first time since summer of 2008, nostalgia's gonna hit me like a train.

[@kokowilly6941]

I'll be there in December too! See you there!

[@theintamindude]

Koko Willy What dates did you go on? I went 12/1 - 12/4.

[@xygomorphic44]

back when I was your age I saw this video on my 800x600 monitor. it looked amazing and we liked it that way. you kids today are so spoiled.

[@SarahPToadstool]

Intimidator 305 (Kings Dominion) is so forceless to the GoPro cameras we have today. I viewed an Orient Express (Worlds of Fun) POV filmed on a tape camcorder and it was intense enough to cause dropouts in filming.

[@andrewc1199]

Yeah when I first saw this I thought it looked amazing!

[@sce2aux464]

Awesome video of a shaking grey blur!!

[@pottergoose]

Nice photo! A little help over here in my picture perhaps? It seems a cyberman attacked me :-D

[@boatmaster-qn5fb]

+Jodie Fox (Allonsy1963) delete!

[@Bradly105]

It’s from 2006

[@DastardDurango]

i love the setting of this ride. You feel like you are cruizing through space! You see planets projected, hear screams of other riders, get a sick breeze and awesome music is smashed in too!

[@Cypherus21]

Rode this in 1986 when I was 7 years old and was crying like a baby girl. My little mind wandering in the dark thought we did loop-da-loops and jumped off the track and in mid air landed on the other side of the track. It traumatized me so much that I remembered it into adulthood. Now as an adult the coaster is child's play. Moral of the story - bring your kids to Disneyland at an age that they are old enough to appreciate it and not too young that it may traumatize them.

[@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239]

The blue tunnel at 2X speed and the main ride audio at 1.25 and 1.5 speed is pure epicness!

[@TWD98]

Why were the lights on? Was it a special event?

[@LifeformChris]

To this day TWD98 asks himself this

[@lynn314]

That's neat you got to experience it with the lights on! It makes you appreciate how the ride is intended to ride in the dark! Great video!

[@SaneDude13]

Why'd they use their laptop camera to film this?

[@10509054]

Video was from 2006.

[@lordbemylight]

This version is a classic and should never be changed. I like it the way it is. Probably the main reason it's so dark is so that nobody will notice the catwalk next to the track throughout the whole ride. lol

[@kenrutherford1109]

The reason it's so dark is to scare the shit out of you

[@sourlemon83]

I feel like Disney is going to find me and erase my memory for seeing this.

[@leighmom]

That is really cool! I probably wouldn't get so nauseated if I could see where I was going! Thanks for sharing!!! KZbin rocks!

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

was there like an earthquake in that ride?? jeez lol

[@wardrich]

This was awesome! When I went on the ride, I ended up sitting in the front car. It kind of ruined it for me because I was able to see the track ahead and see where we were going to go, but I was really in awe of how tightly packed the whole ride was. Was a great experience for sure!

[@MemberSloanly]

I RODE THIS IN THE DARK?!

[@2brothersvideos]

My absolute favorite Space Mountain, absolute favorite roller coaster, and absolute favorite roller coaster. This Space Mountain is my favorite. It's intense, awesome, and has every characteristic a space roller coaster needs.

[@dakotabillionaire]

this really kind of takes all of the magic away

[@baileydancer6]

I love the refreshing breeze you get when riding this ride.

[@gdpfriars1495]

I really overthought this ride it's not even scary

[@gdpfriars1495]

+gamerocker8910 Next time I go I'm gonna go on it

[@dougconley]

+[GD]pfriars14 It's fun. Not scary.

[@blossomcuteshylady4753]

Diseny Back Then Want To Have Rides For All Kids But when He past a way Some years Later They did it more scary an now Star wars which I love it

[@rickfeith6372]

It was scary for me back in 87....lol....10 years old, IN THE DARK!! Yeah, its just a bobsled type coaster, but the flat turns IN THE DARK will get ya as a little one.

[@jblucio3177]

that music on this video goes great with the ride, has a great climax at the end, great job.

[@EvanLikesToDrum]

Nobody understands that this video was uploaded in 2006, thats why its Potato quality.

[@peterman500070]

This was beautiful back then.

[@Fredmullegun]

Evan Porter You can take stable pictures. A modern camera held as this one was would still be junk.

[@ColumineMiette]

It's cooler when you've seen it with the lights on. I've always wanted to and was jealous of people that have. Lol It's pretty amazing that someone can come up with a design of a roller coaster that's in a building. That's just awesome.

[@lukephillips5618]

I saw Space Mountain with the lights on while i was riding the People Mover. This was before i had ridden it.

[@nykiaburdine6249]

same!

[@davidakhoa]

Wow! My buddies and I went to WDW this summer (I do have vids uploaded) and this was one of the must-go rides. It was great! This was a totally different experience seeing it in the light! Thanks for the upload ;)

[@mikechick221]

quit surprised the one in Paris is better with loops and a launch

[@TjSamson]

In Paris is Mission 2...That's why its much more bigger.

[@majorminor81]

I was one of the first people to ride it in 2009. We went for new years and got in as soon as the countdown was over. Great ride.

[@mikechick221]

god it looks cheep with lights on

[@zakkw666]

i love that ride so much. its one of the coolest at disney, next to expedition everest.

[@davinadex]

its scarier with the lights on.... lmfao

[@theintamindude]

I feel like I'm gonna get my head taken off!

[@davinadex]

SkyrimFanatic 007 ikr! everything is so close and cramped...

[@theintamindude]

+DyanCat If the lights are off then you wouldn't see those head choppers...I guess there's something terrifying about the ride lights on or off lol.

[@davinadex]

SkyrimFanatic 007 Hmm... true. xD

[@alyssahenson9757]

I agree I don't like this coaster

[@PaaandaBeaaar]

Ahahaha! I remember that ride from like. . . three years ago! It was so much fun! Thanks for the upload! I miss being able to go to Disney World with the family. I can't wait to show my 6-year-old sister what Disney World is like. 8D

[@bwguidry]

I need to renew my membership to ACE. I didn't think Disney would get involved with ACE, but that's awesome!

[@jonasbros18]

I cant believe it loopks like that and this ride is sick!

[@BobsledRider]

Oooh! I can't wait to ride this in two weeks! Disney World for Christmas!

[@bwguidry]

It was during the American Coaster Enthusiasts' "Coaster Con", a roller coaster convention. This is during their "ERT", or "Extra Ride Time". They close the ride to the general public & leave it open for ACE members. During ERT, they usually do special little things like turning the lights on in an indoor coaster, or turning the lights off at night on an outdoor coaster. I used to be in ACE for three years & I really miss it a lot!

[@CoasterChick22]

pfffttttt I have been on some of the most extreme coasters but space mountain still kicks ass just because its space mountain its classic and nothing needs to change, it will always be fun

[@ryanrtw]

oh my god! my heart was in my mouth while i was watching that.

[@StephyDee]

aww you never know! I thought I've never go to Disney again, and my mom and I had extra money, so we decided to just do it! It was totally on a whim, and it was about the best time of my life...you'll go again...Disney's magnetic force can't be resisted for long! :)

[@woodencoasterfan]

I can remember riding this coaster when it had a simple seat belt instead of the lap bars they have today. By the way, Space Mountains lines can get 2-3 hours long as does Big Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain. But they're still alot of fun

[@jameskennedy4377]

As a kid, I was on Space Mountain when the ride stopped b/c of a bad thunderstorm. They turned on the lights and it was much scarier seeing how the ride was really designed. It looked rickety and dangerously crammed together inside that small space. Glad to see it wasn't my imagination.

[@JosephMCobery]

Not only is this version classic and should not be changed. But it is the best out of all of them.Me and my uncle went to disneyworld for a week and I went on it 53 times.(I counted)

[@madisenkahlee]

They re-did the one in California and it was shut down for a long time. But now it is back, I love it and I am a huge roller coaster fanatic.

[@KyleLennertz]

i went on this last week for the first time and it to be pitch black but i could see a little i was saying to brother keep your arms down because were so close to the car. awesome ride!

[@ojjohnson3333]

this is one on my favourite rides ever.i know it isnt the best but its in the dark and u dont know wats gunna happen

[@woodencoasterfan]

It was a special event. At the beginning, it said "Lights on ERT (Exclusive Ride Time), then "Coastercon XXIX (39)". ACE (the American Coaster Enthusiast Club) was holding their annual National Coaster Convention there that weekend. WDW closed Space Mountain to the public for a couple hours so the members of ACE could ride it and as a bonus, WDW turned on the lights during thier ERT session.

[@divalicious2277]

when i went on the ride i wanted to put my arms in the air but every so often i'd see the support beams, but it's an awesome ride!!

[@JmikeNchadJ]

this is cool ive been on this ride like 50 or 60 times and never saw what it looked like where you could actually see

[@StephyDee]

same here...I went in the beginning of June. There was a sign that said it'd be closed until Winter of 2009, so hopefully by next yr, when I go again, it'll be up and running...I haven't ridden it in 12 yrs, so I'm overdue! :)

[@G2red89]

This is my RIDE!!! I love this space mt.!

[@teamboobooseth1]

Just went on the one in Orlando so cool and first roller coster I've been on.

[@witluvjessi429]

i was at Disney last night, rode this exact one! every time i went on it. which was like 7 times, but it definitely dosent look as extreme as it feels!

[@Mystique3]

Geez! Thanx for that vid, I've always been scared of going on that ride, but now its Jello safe, so I'll try it next time I go thanx to this vid!

[@Roncace]

Cool ride! Inside a building too!

[@cyberboff]

There are a couple of steep drops but nothing too intense. In regular light it's a pretty standard coaster, but it's the darkness that makes it really thrilling.

[@MadisonAxford]

wow!! that is actually kinda scary! :)

[@AlisaFlum]

when i rode this, i was in the FIRST cart in the FIRST seat! my mom hates rollarcoasters but we told her it was a baby ride, she got off SO peed off! ahaha i LOVE this ride!

[@kinsy19]

IM GOING TO DISNEY AND UNIVERSAL (so excited for WWOHP) AND IM SOO EXCITED. last time i went we always got fast passes and tours we never waited!!! i went on space mountain 7 times!! but for all the tourists the best ride is the expedition everest at animal kindom! i went on exactly 7 times!!

[@dangerzone24]

i agree to a point...i think the fun is not knowing where you're going next. it makes the ride more interesting.

[@disneylandguy10]

I think they should use this background music for Space Mountain!

[@chrislampley]

have been to WDW every year since I was 2. Have also been to Cedar Point many times...I love Cedar Point, BUT Disney is the BEST !!

[@mattatt15]

It may not be the #1 ride but i gotta say it is deffidentaly fun to ride =]. Made me laugh every time i rode it. Old but classic.

[@KyFriedPlatypus]

Neat! I never could tell where I am going on this ride since it usually is very dark.

[@lenaapple1974]

@Telekon5 I have to definitely agree. When I was younger, (keep in mind I didn't like any type of drops) that little drop when you see the people on line or leaving the ride was enough for me. I went back a few years ago... and I was like...THIS IS IT?! LOL. I will still ride for fun, but IOA is definitely where I love to spend my time while in Orlando! Cool to see the lights on though.

[@djlowtek]

very cool and rare video you have here, thanks

[@N0BUYAH]

The first time I rode this a few years back, we got stuck going UP a hill. They turned all the lights on and it looks incredible.

[@WNxIsak]

It's kinda scary to see how damn close the track gets to you... I'm glad it's going through a revamp! Lol!

[@woodencoasterfan]

The one in Paris is newer and this one is the grandfather of all the Space Mountains. This one at WDW was the first Space Mountain and it opened in 1975.

[@BroadwayBabeCA]

wow this is soo cool! thanks for sharing it!

[@KpoppFan63730]

I think every rollercoaster should be extreme. Thumbs up

[@Darkhaner]

I did that some years ago...I don't have any memories of it anymore o_O I sure didn't remember it that way. Looks extreme...I wana do it again !

[@thedodgeballbeast]

I went on this this ride is beast lol The entire time your screaming and laughing hysterically

[@FamFnL]

hell no..this is the best freakin ride @ disneyland...but yea without lights is soooo sooo much better from watching this video..SPACE MOUNTAIN RULESSS!!!

[@lindseycree]

I went on this for the first time 3 weeks ago and I loved it! It was not scary at all!

[@James33008]

excellent ride

[@YQLbeast]

kind of takes the magic out of this ride.

[@jjrrhh1983]

wow, when i was on this ride it the dark it was scary to me it was like riding into the unkown but its cool to see how it looks in there with the lights on.

[@akatieor2]

@westiesinwonderland: The lights are on before and after the park is open. They also come on in the event of an emergency. Normally the ride itself is pitch black with the only light being from the "stars" that are all over the ceiling, support beams and floor. It does have an incline but the ride itself only goes 27 mph and the drop is only 23 feet but in the dark it seems a whole lot bigger.

[@Soggy_Bunnns]

just went 2 disney they recently changed the whole ride it flings u around more, and being 13, i found that quite entertaining

[@ViVAlASPAM0x3]

im haaate roller coasters and refuse to go on them, but when i went to disney, i rode this one and it was ALOOOT of fun. your chicken friend would like it, lol :) and the lights off makes it more fun to ride, but i was scared to put my hands up cause i was afraid i would hit the rails, lol.

[@krikkevalleke]

space mountain in Paris is the best!! untouchable ;)

[@silvercrew1]

I was so lucky to ride this with the lights on at a summer camp I went to actually on Disney property. We got to ride it once with the lights on, we guessed how tall and fast and stuff like that, then we rode it with the lights off and everything seemed to increase, this was all before the park opened, it was amazing

[@veronica2251]

this looks awesome i am going in the summer!!!

[@chenablack810]

wow, this space mountain and the one in paris are so different :0 but this one looks cool too !

[@pottergoose]

0:56 I'd have thought it'd be somewhere around here that we'd be able to see the people mover, considering they can see us from this point I believe. I know on the people mover you can see part of the ride, I could have sworn it was where you can look over and see another car on the other end of the track but I could be wrong

[@magicboy1000]

the people mover goes through the hill climb part but i think the people mover is lower to the ground

[@JimenezCLJ]

I WANT THAT SOUNDTRACK!!!! i have disneyland's and mission 2's but i must have THIS ONE!!!

[@texasboy8522]

I REMEMBER THIS!! I LOVED THIS ONE AND THE RUDE WHERE ITS COMPLETELY DARK!! AND DO THEY STILL HAVE THE AEROSMITH RIDE!!????

[@candydrop1958]

@jennworthington that is totally awesome! the people mover is one of my favorites:)

[@KelseyBeePink]

For those of you who have never ridden this ride, it may look lame. But, in the dark (especially in the front), it's amazing. You have no clue where you're going and all you can see is the glow of the passing cars. Best coaster ever.

[@Hamstergirl71]

Thanks, never been on this ride and have fearful of it since age 8-I've been on EE and ToT so it makes no sense..I think I can handle this.

[@Clydeernator]

i went on this ride twice. Once when the lights were on and once when they were off. When they're off it's so much more scarier, you have no idea where you're going.

[@skinnylittles]

@frikis The light is on after it breaks down. They keep the lights on to inspect the ride for any further problems while they let people ride. Usually it's just dark or they'll turn the star machine on. I prefer to ride when the star machines on.

[@Karu720]

@owladuh i sat in the middle my 1st time.... because i was afriad, bt the front is so much fun! the back isnt as fun middle is ok when the lights are off its fantastic!

[@kentman789]

when i went to disney world space mountain stopped cuz some kids sandel got stuck so they stopped the ride and hey put the lights on. it was really bright but WICKED COOL!!

[@BRGeauxBlue95]

nice ride. i love it

[@MoonDancer42]

I have the same scenario. Going in April with my FAVORITE aunts and my FAVORITE cousins (bonus!), but I think when we go, it'll be closed. But, someone said it closes down April 19, and I believe we're going April 14 (but I haven't seen a calendar, and I think EVERYTHING is April 14!)

[@kenrutherford1109]

I love the laser sound effect at 0:30

[@Curt_Randall]

interesting to see that back in the day that Disney World and Land built two of all their main attraction rides in each park. They have a mirror image under the same roof.

[@Brielleeeee]

Aw man! I'm going there over the summer and I really wanted to ride it for the first time ever! booooo.

[@hawaiiancutie5]

the drops must be freaky when its in the dark and you can't see anything huh? :) i go to Disneyland abut 3 times a year and i have never ridden this one before. so next time i go im determined to go on this :)

[@ZetamoonAmos]

Ah thank you very much for the information ^^ I think myself and my mother shall be riding this :P

[@Hieagandaus]

you can't have as much fun at WDW if you don't have kid's but cedar point is a coaster enthusiastics heaven!
