Guests must be 40” or 102 centimeters to ride and the Thrill Level describes the attraction as being a Thrill Ride with Small Drops that is Dark Loud and Scary.
Here now are five fast facts about Space Mountain.
1. Space Mountain opened at Disneyland on May 27, 1977.
2. It was actually Walt Disney who came up with he idea of doing a Space themed indoor roller coaster at Disneyland. It was deemed impossible at the time due to limited technology and lack of space available in the park to build it. Disney revived the project to fit into the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World and developed a smaller Design to be built in Disneyland.
3. Six of the original seven Mercury astronauts attended the opening of Space Mountain in 1977.
4. Space Mountain closed in 2003 for a complete track replacement that kept the ride shuttered until June of 2005.
5. The music heard onboard of the current version of Space Mountain was composed my Michael Giacchino.
