Wait... People are complaining about too many Tomorrowland videos? Last month you literally did *31 videos about the same ride.*
Let's be real, Offhand Disney does whatever the fuck he wants lmao
Oh my God, THE MAN IS RIGHT
Drew Oda you dont have a youtube chanel
Space Mountain is by far my favorite ride at Disneyland, and it is 100% because of the music. When I first rode it I had no idea what to expect other than it was dark but when that music kicked in I was freaking out.
Music is easily my favorite part of Disneyland's Space Mountain
@@OffhandDisney Whats the theme that was playing in the background to this video? Last time I heard it was on a video about Space Mountain or Tomorrowland from MartinsVids years back and its been an ear-worm for me but in a good way.
Literally the music is the KEY to why this ride is so out of this world! :)
Totally agree - I remember when they had the surfer music and that fit as well - funny you would think that surfer music would be a miss but the music really add to the attraction!
@@qu0dlb3t I think it's the main Tomorrowland loop
Welcome space travelers
Space mountain is a thrilling, high-speed, turbulent rollercoaster-type ride in the dark that includes sharp turns, sudden drops, and stops.
Before you embark on your adventure, please place all hats, glasses, and loose possessions in the storage pouch located directly in front of you.
To prepare for launch, pull the lap bar toward you.
You are now ready for your intergalactic adventure, thank you and have a great flight.
:)))))
At both Disney and Universal it seems it's never a roller coaster, always a roller-coaster-type ride. The phrase reminds me of "pasteurized cheese product", as if there were some legal reason they couldn't call it a roller coaster. Even though it clearly is.

I'm old enough that I remember when they were advertising Space Mountain at Disneyland in 1977. You can see the original commercial on RUclips. When I watch it I still get goosebumps like I did then. I thought it looked like the coolest ride I'd ever seen because I loved science fiction and Star Wars so much at that time. I finally got to go to Disneyland with my friends and we braved the incredibly long and boring wait in line, well over an hour, to have the privilege to get to ride it. At least there was a lot of really neat spacey looking things about and that huge spaceship hanging over the loading area to marvel at. But right as we came up to close to the front of the line there was a delay and an announcement of something like technical difficulties. Then the ridecar/spaceship finally came into the loading area and one of the women on it was crying like she was very frightened. This made me suddenly scared to go on it. What if the same thing happened while I was on it? But all my long anticipation of riding it won out over my fear and I did ride it. It scared my friends a lot, but I wasn't scared a bit which surprised me. I was just amazed at how it felt to be zooming around in what felt like space. I couldn't wait to go back on it. It is an amazing ride and I will always have those fond memories of being a child at Disneyland. I'm glad that I did those things then because now that I am older, I don't tolerate thrill rides like I did then. I have no desire to go on them. I am definitely more People Mover speed now. LOL
Am I the only one that remembers the original ride vehicles in WDW Space Mountain? They were these front to back father/child nut crusher seats. But the coolest thing was these neon green panels on the sides. I’m not sure if they were lit or they glowed from black lighting in the ride. But it meant you could look up in places in the (long oh so long) ride queue and see these green shooting stars way overhead. As you got further in the displays eventually showed you the vehicles and it clicked that those rushing lights overhead were the coaster. It was a very cool effect. I also remember the interior projections being much brighter back in the 70’s. I rode it again recently and it was much darker than it used to be.
I think the purposefully got rid of the glow strips, and removed the ability to see the coaster from the queue, because they wanted the darkness to be total enough that you couldn't see the tracks at all.
Andrew Taylor I rode it grad.night '75...they slowed it down since then....my sister's car front-end left track, bounced, then re-railed....had to pry her out of car....
I rode on it in '86 as an 8 year old with my father. They still had those cars then and, if I remember right, only had lap belts to hold you in with the hand rails to your sides. My father rode on it when it was new and said that back then it was pitch black inside while you rode it. Said it had more light in '86 to where you could see most of the tracks. It was even less dark in '98 when I rode it again and the cars were the newer 1 person in each seat style. WDW. I rode the one in DL in the mid 90's and didn't like it as much as the WDW one but still enjoyed it.
@@railrider4745 That must have been terrifying for her 😮😖
I remember seeing all the concept art of the future Space Mountain at Disneyland along with concept art for the "New Tomorrowland." These images were in the Disneyland souvenir booklets before the 1967 redesign of Tomorrowland. I was so excited to see the new Tomorrowland and Space Mountain. I loved all the new attractions like Journey thru Inner Space, but I was terribly disappointed that there was no Space Mountain. In the 70s I remember seeing that Space Mountain was at Walt Disney World first, and that really angered me. I'd been seeing all this artwork for so many years and Orlando got it first? Grrrr. My first ride on Space Mountain, Disneyland was truly exciting. I've read articles about rehabs and redesigns, but those things occurred after I left Southern California in 1984, and I haven't experienced it. In 1991 my job led me to Orlando, and the old Tomorrowland down here. I liked the queue area, and because of the double track, the attraction is larger. There is also the exit show, which is fun too. The last time I rode on Space Mountain here in Orlando, the attraction was so dark that I couldn't see the track, therefore I couldn't lean into the curves. I was jerked from side to side, and decided that I really didn't need that experience.
I agree with your assessment... also how cool to live at disney land then move to disney world.
Actually, I was working at Disneyland as a busboy when Magic Kingdom, WDW opened. That was the day we became the red-headed stepchildren. I was making $2.06 an hour, and a roundtrip ticket from LAX to Orlando was $200! It may as well have been on the far side of the moon. It was a dream for so many years. In 1984 I was working for AT&T and had an opportunity to move to Kansas City, MO for a better job and higher standard of living. Then in 1991 AT&T was reorganizing, and for job security we were offered a move to either Atlanta or Orlando. That was a no brainer, and the first thing I did upon arrival was buy an annual pass.
Great idea! Combine the original Tiki restaurant idea with Space Mountain. Guests would be served a dinner of spaghetti, chocolate pudding and a milkshake at the loading dock, and they would eat during the ride! Sure it would be a little messy, but that's part of the fun.
Space mountain is by far my favorite Disney ride. I've only been on the Disney World version but the whole atmosphere of the queue, ride, and exit just take me back to when I was a kid riding it for the first time. Space mountain will always hold a special place in my heart.
They should have kept the original Space Mountain soundtrack which was far more exciting and intense.
“It knocks you entire skeleton out of place, just like the Matterhorn”. I choked on my coffee when you said that. It’s so true...
Disneyland will always be my favorite version! I remember earlier this year trying the one in MK and being super sore by the end of it 😅
As a little kid, I was lucky enough to ride on the soft opening of Space Mountain in Magic Kingdom, Florida. Frankly, it scared the poop out of little 10 year old me. But I enjoyed it. Even today, I can't think of Space Mountain without the term "spires of Space Mountain" popping into my head. Every Monorail, people mover, train, or really anything in Magic Kingdom always used that reference.
"And as we round the corner we see the spires of Space Mountain in the distance"
"As we approach the ticketing and transportation center you can look across the Seven Seas Lagoon to see the spires of Space Mountain"
It was the first big roller coaster I'd ever ridden and it was pretty overwhelming.
I love the operation of Space Mountain. I like the yelling, I'm going to apply as an attractions host in 3 years
Space Mountain in Paris the the BEST! Being launched up the outside of the mountain and plunging down through the top was so much fun. It also has inversions and seems much faster.
I have an unpopular opinion in that I prefer the space mountain at Walt Disney World. While it will never beat Disneyland’s in soundtrack, I love how it isn’t almost all riding through space. There is that tunnel right in the middle of the space part that is a change of pace for a few seconds, right before getting back into the action. I also love that there are actual things to see in space, like the astronauts, and planets and even a UFO at one point. I also prefer the one person per row cars, even though it kind of hurts, because it really makes you feel like you are in a spaceship.
Don’t forget the straight up epic queue and the quirky post show
Me too, I haven't rode Disneyland's yet but I will always have a soft spot for this one. It really feels retro
ytctc 1 bad news, they got rid of the quirky exit :(
@@joyholmes254 What do you mean? The exit out the back was only temporary
David Feltheim yes, the exit out the back was temporary, but it was so they could renovate the old exit. It’s no longer the moving sidewalk with the cool things to look at.
THE MUSICCCCC CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MUSICCC ITS BEAUTIFUL
The music in the tunnel while we wait for the ride gets to me everytime.. I LOVE IT.
Can we not ignore his face when he say "not tomorrowland the movie"
it's hard to be a minority...
I love that movie...
@@MOMOnGA270 really, I personally haven't watched it since everyone hasn't said the best about it but I might check it out
@@aidubs4521 I have to admit even i feel like it was just my personal taste but it's not anywhere close to the terrible like this guy in the video is making it sounds like. I'm not gonna guarantee that you gonna like it, but it's not a movie to hate before watching.
@@MOMOnGA270 thank you for the noticed and I'll go into it with an open mind
I kinda liked that movie. It wasn't fantastic, but I did like it.
I remember when I first rode space mountain (in Orlando) I though after the ride “ Someone must have scribbled on a piece of paper and called it a ride.” After riding it some more it grew to be one of my favorites rides at the park.
One of my best memories was in the late 70's WDW riding Space Mountain with my parents. From pre-ride, launch sequence, space flight in the dark, to walking through the post ride 'space lounge' area - the best ride I've ever experienced. I still cue up the space-sounding ride music often.
i made the beginning of the space mountain safety script my senior yearbook quote, and i think that has been the proudest moment of my life so far
Space mountain is the only ride to make me fully feel like I’m going to throw up, that is a special place in my heart
can i get a hot chocolate with this story
Sure for 5 dollars.
better taste like a pikachu
☕
Ill make u coco
A dole whip
As a kid you always love the extraordinary. And space travel is just that. Going through the dark ride. It’s dark convertían belt. And then you get to the ride. And oh wow. It’s absolutely fantastic
Space mountain is probably my favorite because it’s one of the first rides I can remember as a kid. Always good stories about it, and riding it each time is always a great experience
I LOVE Space Mountain. When its scorching hot in the park and you get to sit in the dark with the wind blowing through your hair, there's nothing better. :)
I love the space mountain queue music you incorporated. I worked at space mountain in Disney world so I have a lot of love for this attraction!
space mountain mission 2 was the first legit rollercoaster i ever went on when i was like 7 !!! i didn’t stop talking about it for years and to this day it’s one of my favourite rollercoasters of all time
Space Mountain has, by far, the best background music of any ride in WDW. That is so much of why I love it. The roller coaster is good, but it's definitely not the best coaster in WDW, but the music just makes it perfect. I will sit with the background music on loops at times because of how beautiful it is.
I’ve never been to Disney land but I love space mountain at Disney world I think what makes it unique to me is it’s the only ride I’ve ridden that makes me actually feel like I’m in space and keeps a smile plastered on my face the whole time.
I like the disneyworld one because it is terrifying in the front row, like just watching the metal beams flying st you. THAT HITS DIFFERENT, LITTERALLY. And also the random audios that screech at you throughout the ride.
The music is a big factor as to why I love this ride. the first time i rode it had the song stuck in my head for a couple of weeks, but the second time i went on it it had the rockin’ space mountain overlay on it and as a kid it literally blew me away because i thought it was so cool. Every now and then I always think of that version of space mountain and I don’t know why disney doesn’t do something similar to that anymore
My favorite part of Space Mountain is that sneaky Space Station X-1 reference near the end of the video.
Space mountain will always have a special place in my heart. My suggestion to improve it, at least to Disneyland one, would be to detour the ride into the old carousel of progress building. This would greatly extend the length of it and perhaps even its top speed.
I love thrills, big rollercoasters, etc etc. and I still find myself having the most fun of any ride on the WDW space mountain. There's just something about it for me that makes it both thrilling and fun, even though it may not be the biggest rollercoaster in the world. Always come off of it with a huge smile! And I love the music too!
I’m equally obsessed with Space Mountain and have ridden it at 4 parks this year. The key element that masks the ride is the soundtrack which is noticeable absent from Tokyo Disneyland despite being a near clone of Disneyland in the USA. Something about the perfectly timed music makes the experience more meaningful and fun.
Nothing beats the atmosphere of magic kingdoms space mountain. I love the line and the music. The long awesome tunnel you go through to get to the ride is soo cool
When I was in high school there was a Magic Kingdom late night that my mom went to with me and I ended up seeing how many times I could ride Space Mountain in three hours. She sat on a bench outside and said she had a really nice time talking to the parents of the other kids who were doing the same thing.
It was a blast; there were four or five of us, and the crowds were so limited that we were RUNNING through the hallways to get to the main queue maze, and the cast members running the ride got to where they recognized me as a single rider and started LOOKING for me in line to pluck me out and fill empty seats.
I got to ride it _25 times_ that night.
Unfortunately now that I'm in my 30s and have had surgery on my back for herniated discs, I'll never be able to ride Space Mountain again. _But I got to ride it 25 times in a row when I was 16._
I’m those type of people that hate rollercoasters but space mountain holds a special place in my heart. Space mountain was my first big kid rollercoaster and was proud of myself when I rode it. Plus, at the time when I first rode space mountain it was themed into rock n roll! so the Red Hot Chili Peppers was playing inside the rollercoaster and to me was the best experience to ever ride it as a kid :)
I like Space Mountain so much because due to the theming, it's timeless.
Also, Hyperspace Mountain is AWESOME!!!!
I remember being so hyped to ride space mountain when i first went when i was 10 because it's one of those legendary things you've heard about even if you've never been to the park, and when i rode it, i was really disappointed because of how rough it was. It made me sore afterward. I haven't been back to WDW since i was 12, but if i did now, i'd probably love it because i've grown to really enjoy all amusement park rides, including old wooden coasters that are probably way more spine breaking than Space Mountain.
As I have only been to Walt Disney World, I have to say Walt Disney Worlds. I think the escalator at the end of the ride with the green screens are pretty cool though. But the ride has gotten jolly over the years, the Space Mountain in Disneyland sounds awesome and I would love to go on it one day...also, I would like to see what Ghost Galaxy would be like. Keep up the awesome work!
Lisa got to experience ghost galaxy for Halloween last year at Disneyland and I actually loved it. Still, prefer the original soundtrack over the new star wars one. But it's still our favorite Disneyland attraction.
Disneyland's Space Mountain blows WDW's out of the water. It's got comfier seating, a stellar soundtrack, and doesn't feel like a car crash. That being said, I do love the WDW Space Mountain anyway. I have ridden it with the lights on before and let me tell you that it's a little baby coaster when you can actually see the track. Also. Don't put your hands up. I know it makes it more fun. But don't.
Paris' blows all of them out of the water.
Same. I will never put my hands up on Space Mountain after riding it with the lights on.
I’m from Mexico and I always go to Disney World (I went to Disneyland when I was 5 years old), so... I LOVE Space Mountain. I love it, because it was my first roller coaster ride. I also love it, because my dad has travelled to Disney World since Epcot was a model and he is a HUGE fan since he’s young, so... it’s like a family thing to love that ride😇♥️
i think i've always loved space mountain for the music, but it was also the first ride in disney world (my home disney park) that i got to go on by myself. most of the time when i went to disney it would just be my mom, my two younger siblings, and i. this means that, as the oldest, i didn't get to do much when it came to roller coasters (my sister was only a few years old the first time we went like this). so ewhen my mom said i could go on space mountain, and all by myself (something i had never done before) i was really happy. it'll always be one of my favorite rides ever, and holds a special place in my heart.
Space Mountain is my all time favorite Walt Disney World attraction, I love the the soundtrack!!! Love all version!
I have always loved the music, even through it's evolutionary change and the different music at different parks it is always fundamentally relaxing and divine. I'm a bit of a space nerd so that plays heavily into my love of this ride as well. However most importantly some of my best childhood memories are waiting in line for Space Mountain with my Dad. Those were the days long before Fast Passes which resulted in us spending hours upon hours just talking and hanging out. Space Mountain Disneyland is just a really special place for me.
I like Space Mountain because it reminds me of my childhood, it’s a great attraction, the history of the ride is certainly fascinating, and it’s one of the rides that Walt knew about, but never saw at his park.
I love Space Mountain and to me it’s such an iconic part of Tomorrowland that it’s hard to imagine what the land looked like in either park before Space Mountain existed. When choosing a favorite, I have to say that I prefer Disneyland, but as a cast member I got to ride the one in Magic Kingdom with the lights on and honestly, it freaked me out even more than when the lights are off so that will always have a special place in my heart even though I don’t like it quite as much as the West Coast version.
Offhand there’s nothing wrong with talking about Tomorrowland I love hearing about the past of Disneyland I find it very interesting and you should definitely keep it up and definitely talk about every land in the park ❤️
Personally, I love dark roller coaster rides and the soundtrack is bomb. It just gets me so excited, especially the track which is so packed which I think is so cool. The effects inside were always mesmerizing to me and still are.
The reason I like it so much is the memories I have associated with it. That line can be long, but I'll be darned if I havent had an amazing time in it before.
I listened to the complete soundtrack of Space Mountain in my car yesterday while wearing my Space Mountain t-shirt. I never thought about having an obsession, but now I'm pretty sure I do! I also enjoy the Tomorrow Land area loop. I love the Incredibles, but hated when they temporarily switched the music to it. I was there last week and the regular music was back!
Disneyland mountain as its a lot smoother ride
"Where'd this come from?!" lolol
I just got back from my first trip to Paris and it's hands down my favorite version of Space Mountain.
My favorite is the original paris space mountain. First of all it has inversions, and I love the Jules Verne story. The moment where you reach the moon just before you drop back to earth is awesome, as in, inspiring awe
Space Mountain the roller coaster type ride in the dark is by far one of the most thrilling and immersive coasters in all of Disneyland and it’s totally my favorite ride at Disneyland and I agree with OFFHAND DISNEY that it’s fun no matter if it’s your first time riding it to your hundredth time riding it, it never gets old thanks for the interesting history of Space Mountain OFFHAND DISNEY really loved this video!!! 😉🚂
THE MUSIC IN SPACE MOUNTAIN AT WDW WILL GET ME JAZZED ALL DAY ERRY DAY
I went on Disney World Space Mountain during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween and they shut off all the lights and everything for the Halloween party. It was my worst Space Mountain experience ever. The lights and music truly make it what it is.
Many years ago, about 20 to be specific, I was at Magic Mountain riding my favorite coaster there, Viper, when I got this idea that I wanted to ride my two favorite coasters in one day, so after riding Viper, I went to Disneyland to ride Space Mountain. Those were the carefree days! Of those two coasters, SM is by far the best. Disney really did it right. Not surprising that SM mission 2 in Paris saved that park from financial doom.
Disney world space mountain is the only original one I’ve been on. I was high key disappointed by the Hyperspace mountain in Disneyland. Recently just went to Paris and that version of Hyperspace is much better. However, the one in WDW was my first roller coaster and will always hold a special place
Space mountain at Disneyland was one of my first roller coasters as a child, and I loved it so much! The other one was revolution at Magic mountain. I just can’t remember which one was my ACTUAL first!
Yea! Space Mountain! This is one of my favorite vids you have done so far! Very entertaining.
PS: Your silliness is highly repreciated!
I just found your channel bc I live under a rock and I'm so happy you regularly upload such great content. This video is so perfect with the music and everything...Space Mountain is my all time favorite ride because when I've only went to Disney twice and the first time I was only 5 years old. Going on this ride, no, the line and ceiling itself, absolutely blew my mind. My grandma was with us and I will always remember her asking if we were going all the way up there and I believed we were truly that far up in space lol. I miss being a kid..Disney is so nostalgic and innocent (when you don't think of some things..) and I look forward to your videos to keep the nostalgia alive in me. •.•
I'm so old, I rode Disneyland's Space Mountain *before* it had a soundtrack. If you got there right when the park opened, and the first ride ("correction: attraction" - WED) you did was Space Mountain, the floor-to-ceiling windows to the left showed the room with the track with the lights on. If the lights were off and the ride was in operation, you saw green fluorescent lights zooming by; these were the cars you would be riding on.
The ride goes only 28 mph. But it's always felt like you were going much faster. The turns and dips are very tight, so it's not tame. And you never could see where you are going. It feels like it's a lot longer than it really is.
I've never been to Florida's Magic Kingdom, so I can't compare. But Disneyland's Space Mountain is a great ride.
Genuinely do love Disney history sooo... bring it on!
I would say I always felt nauseous on that ride, but that would be an understatement. I felt like the face of a person who just passed out. Thank goodness I rode it before lunch. Space mountain is awesome.
This was my first roller coaster at age 3. Back then the seats were different. Here I am 45 now and still ride it when I'm in the park, such as summer of 2018. For those of you saying it's too rough, try an old fashioned wooden roller coaster, far worse on those. Yes, it's a bit jerky, but if you know the track then not so bad. Still my favorite and still my kids favorite.
This is a minor point but I really appreciate how you pronounce the T in Mountain. Most people just say "Moun'in"
Thank you for sharing another video about my favorite ride of all time at Disneyand and WDW.
space mountain was always the first ride we ever did at the parks, i think that’s why it’s one of my favorite
I’ve rode space mountain like 50 times
1. Because it’s a awesome ride
2. I can never get the perfect picture
You are the first person to put together the Matterhorn space mountain Orlando track being the same. Well done. My favorite is space mountain in Paris because it's looping and so unexpected.
Space Mountain in Disneyland Paris blows all others out of the water.
It would be alot better if they didnt change it at all though..
I agree with you that it certainly does blow...... just kidding...I saw that set up and couldn't help myself.. I'm sure it's a great version.
@@PicaloOneill it goes upside down 3 times.
I've only ridden Orlando's Space Mountain, and I'd say it's only my third favorite Disney roller coaster, but I like it a lot.
It's not *that* painful. It could definitely use some of that onboard audio goodness--there's music in the enclosure but it's kind of faint. But I love everything around it--the star tunnel in the queue, the weird long "energizing tunnel", the lift hill with the huge spaceship, the strange show scenes in the tunnel back to Tomorrowland (which apparently just had its moving walkway removed, but the dioramas are still there).
space mountain is one of the first rides i remember ever going on with my dad, its one of his favorites and mine too.
Long ago I was in the candle procession and after the show, we were escorted behind Tomorrowland. It was kind of dark but you could clearly see the back side of what would become Space Mountain and a dark pit. The whole back side was open to everyone walking by. Fast forward to my Senior grad night at DL and I finally went on Space Mountain and promptly got motion sickness. I spent the next hour seated on a planter in the middle nursing my nausea. Finally feeling a bit better I decided to try a smooth ride like "Adv through Inner Space!" Everything was fine until I hit the hallway with all the spinning atoms and I quickly closed my eyes until I knew I was clear. Don't remember going on any other rides that night
You summed it up best. Space Mountain never gets old. Unfortunately I’ve never experienced the Disneyland version, just Walt Disney World’s so by default it’s my favorite. My hope for it is that once TRON opens, they’ll do a heavy referb on the tracks inside. Even so, it’s always a fantastic Disney experience.
I went on Space Mountain at the wrong time: Halloween. That’s when they run the “Ghost Galaxy” theme, and I was only eight.
Do the history of fireworks at the disney parks, they are my favorite part of the parks at night and i think it would be an interesting video.
I’ve always loved space mountain because of mainly 3 reasons
1. Being themed by sci-fi and space themes. I’ve always loved sci-fi and space and the ride does a good job of making it feel like you really are blasting off into the stars
2. Soundtrack. How the hell can you not enjoy the soundtrack for space mountain? It’s just.. good! Ya know?
3. It’s one of the rides at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom that is an ACTUAL thrill ride. You can tell me all you want about how the seven dwarves mine train is a good thrill or how the death trap that is Thunder Mountain is fun, but when you’re in a ride that is dark and visually pleasing while inside the landmark of tommorowland, it’s gonna be hard to top off
I never get tired of the Space Mountain music.
I’ve never liked roller coasters, but the exterior of Space Mountain looks really cool. I particularly like Disney World’s version because it looks much bigger than the one in Disneyland
Space Mountain was the First roller coaster I ever went on, and so it holds a special place in my heart
gonna behonest, Space Mountain (or at least the one in paris) is way too nauseating to actually enjoy and the star wars overlay sucks, bring back the jules verne theme!
Yeah ! Bring back De la Terre à la Lune !
Space Mountain in Anaheim had the same problem when I rode it last time.
I always loved the ride growing up but as an adult?
Not so much.
Was not helped by the fact the last time I rode it was easily over 100° that day, and inside Space Mountain either the A/C was not working or it was on but not keeping up with the hideous heat and humidity.
I was about close to hurling before it ended.
Lets just say I was so nauseous and had zero fun last time that when the pictures they take just at the top of a big drop I was NOT a happy camper.
My face LOOKED like I was about to hurl. Pale white sweaty and just a frown down to my toes.
We sat in the front. Maybe that was the problem.
After that ride I sat in that rest area near Space Mountain for several hours afterwards.
No desire to do anything my stomach was so nauseous.
No desire to ride any more roller coasters after that or any other rides.
I think eventually I was brave enough for the People Mover but that was it for me otherwise.
I saw the inside of Space Mountain while the were doing some maintenance.
All the lights were on and it sure looked different in the light.
Oddly it seemed smaller than expected.
Hopefully when Walt Disney Studios gets Galaxies Edge it might go away
That one is extra intense. It's more like Rock 'N' Rollercoaster, while the one in California is more like Thunder Mountain and the one in Florida is more like The Matterhorn.
David Feltheim it won't. But next year it will finally go back to the Space Mountain theme. Galaxies Edge will only come to Disneyland and Hollywood Studios.
Space Mountain is one of my favourites because it’s my childhood. My parents met working there and raised me while working there as well. The music still helps me go to sleep to this day 😂
I remember I ducked my head down for the picture and when loading the auto matic doors hit me in the stomach lol
The Hong Kong Disneyland version of Space Mountain is particularly good. The effects are great and it seems like they've learned a bunch from the previous versions that they've been running since the '70s and it shows. It's just a well designed and polished version of the ones I road in FL and CA decades earlier.
Space Mountain was the first roller coaster I ever went on. It was 1978 at WDW and I was 8 years old.
I was so scared but when it was over I begged my Dad to do it again
I also remember standing in the queue and looking up watching giant “chocolate chip cookies” fly through space! Lol If you remember the old Space Mountain you know what I’m talking about
I prefer Disneyland Paris’! It’s definitely the best version (I’m talking about the mission 2 version)
my home park! and yes it is the best version out of all.
YOU DID THE SAFETY SPEECH THANK YOU
My first time EVER on Space Mountain was in 2016 at Disneyland. I was 21 (24 now) and I was TERRIFIED at first. I didn't know what to expect since watching a POV on RUclips is a whole different experience from actually riding it in the flesh. I ended up enjoying every bit until the end and I was shaking! I haven't been to the MK one yet so my answer is Disneyland's SP all the way!
Nice save because I still wonder why I sat through all of Tomorrowland. Oh right free ticket from my dentist. As to Space Mountain. I never been on it. My sister has at least. I think my little brother wasn't able to or something. But since I love rollercoasters, even if I can't ride them, a space coaster is right up my alley. And I think it more appropriate actually that it ended up opening first in Florida because as the old documentary says, there were rockets in our back yard.
I love the Space Mountain Rollercoaster from Walt Disney World Orlando!
Space Mountain (Disneyland) blew my socks off when I was young. Thought it was the coolest coaster until I rode Colossus just two years later.
Space mountain was scary when first got on it in 1977 as a kid. It had all those exit signs if u were gonna chicken out. But not me, I passed through all the exits and went for it! Definitely worth my E ticket.
Oh and I was lucky enough to get to go on adventures through innerspace! It freaked me out too with all that shrinking going on.
It was themed as Hyperspace Mountain when I went in May. I feel like I missed out on the actual thing a bit.
Can you do one of these vids for splash mountain, btmr, and the ToT? I know you’ve talked about their history briefly before, but I liked the style of this vid for those. As always, great video.
did you know that before Disneyland, the Matterhorn and Space mountain, all roller coasters were built with narrow gauge railroad tracks and were supported on wooden supports.
Despite most newer roller coasters being out of metal supports and metal tracks, vintage tracks still exist today. the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz still has a roller coaster that is built out of a narrow gauge railroad track and wooden supports known as the Giant Dipper.
