Space Mountain Lights On Ride Through - Walt Disney World

Take a trip through Walt Disney World’s Space Mountain with the lights on!

Lights on or off, I always feel like I'll be beheaded on this ride.

Lights off: Space Mountain
Lights on: The Warehouse roller coaster

So this is what a package at fedex feels like.

I love being able to see the structure; it lets you appreciate the engineering work that went into it. And the fact that a relatively simple, slow coaster can still scare the heck out of people is a testament to what a brilliant idea a coaster in the dark is

[rachelchilders]

this looks like one of the most chill roller coasters ever. i’m kinda pissed i cried over this

[carterkittendorf]

During Halloween I rode this with lights off. ALL of the lights off. No stars, no hyperspeed tunnel, nothing. It was terrifying when you would suddenly drop. New Soundtrack was nice though!

Geez, I never realized there are no big drops on this. It's like going to a skate park.

This ride seems to make good use of the space it has. Without the lights you wouldn't think it's so condensed, especially with the hectic visual and audio effects the ride usually employs.

[Sammojammo]

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.

This ride is rough. I remember getting off the ride once and hearing a guy go, "Feels like I just got beat up." I laughed at him then went back to the hotel clutching my bruised kidneys

[MakenziesGachaStudio]

Are you telling me *T H I S* is what I cried over?

[troublesomebirdsong]

I love how Dark Rides are often essentially just very simple rollercoasters but with the lights off. The atmosphere, sounds and lighting literally sell the entire thing, to the extent that, when I see a mediocre outdoor rollercoaster, I generally think 'You should've just built it inside and turned the lights off and it would've been 10 times better'.

[dogger]

When you find out that’s scary ride you cried over is just a wild mouse.

[ZSProductionStudio]

The full trashcan and broken down boxes at the end really adds to the magic.

[sircompliments]

When they told you to keep your hands and legs inside at all times they really mean it.

[anti_therian]

as a disney employee, 1:23 is where the lowest structure is to the ride vehicle, it's lower than the red strobe tunnel at the end, and what makes it scary is that people can touch the red strobe tunnel so that means they can easily touch the lowest structure.

[neilbaker]

Me: “Mom can we go to Space Mountain?”
Mom: “We have Space Mountain at home”

*Space Mountain at home:

[scarletlu]

Someone: I saw someone die.
Me: I saw space mountain with lights on.
Everyone: omfg I so sorry.

[smaviation]

So this is what it is like to be a suitcase after it’s been checked in at an airport

[sam_rror]

Its always so fascinating to see dark rides like this with the lights on. You can really see how everything works.
