"This weekend marked forty years since Disneyland park guests first cleared for launch aboard Space Mountain. This Disney Parks classic first opened at Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort in 1975, and construction on Space Mountain at Disneyland park began soon after. "
In 2015, we visited Disneyland for the first time and sadly did not get the chance to ride this incredible and historic attraction but Space Mountain has always been a go-to for my wife and I whenever we visit Magic Kingdom. It's an attraction that is near and dear to our hearts.
This is an attraction that is the epitome of ageless. It's so dark inside that regardless of how fast you are actually going, it feels like your truly flying through space. The sounds, the sights (or lack thereof) and the hidden drops make this an attraction that you simply cannot miss.
Cheers to you Space Mountain!
