Reviewing… Space Mountain
Have you ever felt left out when you hit one of the theme parks and the rest of the family is rushing to find the next roller coaster. Well, here is one that is tame enough for even you 
Hey, you might even enjoy it. Okay the only thing that I didn’t like was the fact that you have to sit alone. Yeah, I’m a big baby when it comes to rides.
Year Opened: 1974
Just in case you are wondering, The Space Mountain attraction at Walt Disney World is over 180 feet high, and over 300 feet in diameter, not that you are going to aware of it when you get inside.
Here is something that never occurred to me but makes sense. The best times to ride are during parades or late at night. Definitely going to put this one to the test. I HATE lineups.
While I’m not a lover of roller coasters, the fact that it runs… in the dark, didn’t bother me in the least. Be warned though that you will never know where your next turn or drop will be.
I hate when they post those signs, but I guess it’s for the best. But is there anyone on the planet that doesn’t suffer from one of these ailments? That might be one reason that I don’t ride on roller coasters more often. Here’s what these signs warn you about… “For safety, you should be in good health and free from high blood pressure, heart, back, or neck problems, motion sickness, or other conditions that could be aggravated by this adventure. Expectant mothers should not ride.”
I just found this video of what the ride is like with the lights on. Not sure how they pulled this one off, but you can check it out. I tried to post it here, but it broke the container. But it will take you a few seconds to hop over to YouTube to check it out.
