Editorial Review for Space Mountain – by Daniel Fuller
The View
Enter Space Mountain and be submerged in '70s analog-synthesizer music and corny imagery that brings to mind a version of "2001: A Space Odyssey." The ride itself, like Thunder Mountain, doesn't measure up to more modern coasters--its best features are its jerkiness, the darkness (which brings an air of unpredictability to the ride) and its sounds (hearing the car cruising over the tracks makes you think that the whole ride might go at any second). Without a doubt, Space Mountain is a classic.
The Experience
More people know of Space Mountain than any other ride in the park, so lines are inevitable. Tomorrowland is the closest attraction to the main entrance--another point to consider in its line lengths.

i've never been on this ride. too scared. but every time i walk past i do the "ric flair strut" and flash the 4 horsemen salute. i know i'm not the only one that's done this, either. that, and i've heard people yell out "wooooooo" after they get off. we wrestling fans are a weird, but loyal bunch.

This is no doubt the most thrilling and exciting ride at Disneyland. However the ride does not go upside down and does not reach the speeds one age 15 and up would like to experience as he/she would on a coaster at Six Flags or Knotts. The problem is all of Disneyland's rides appeal to families and/or children but Not teenagers and young adults. If they made Space Mountain faster and/or added loops or better turns Disneyland would definitely begin capturing people of all age groups, including those teens and young adults that go to Six Flags and Knotts for thrill coasters. There are already more than enough rides for children at Disneyland, thus, it wouldn't hurt to make one ride (Space Mountain) targeted for people age 13 and up as oppose to before when even 8 and 9 year olds could ride this coaster.
Pros: Darkness, Somewhat fast + fun, Atmosphere is good
Cons: , Nointense turns/loops
