What this ride is like
Space Mountain is a high-speed indoor roller coaster that blasts guests through dark outer-space environments filled with stars, meteors, and sharp turns. Opening in 1975, it became the first Space Mountain built at any Disney park and helped pioneer the concept of the heavily themed indoor thrill coaster. Its towering white futuristic structure quickly became one of Magic Kingdom's defining icons.
