SPACE MOUNTAIN

Towering high above the Tomorrowland sky its hard to ignore the architectural wonder of Walt Disney World' s most popular attraction, 'Space Mountain'.

A signature ride that's worthy of its accolade of headliner, Space Mountain sends riders into orbit, through the dark recesses of the galaxy and back to earth all in the space of a few minutes.

Entering Space Mountain, windows appear to look out into the universe, providing a sensation of walking through space and the anticipation of a spine-tingling adventure -- a dark ride through space.

Guests board six-passenger trains that rocket through tunnels of flickering neon lights, then begin a rapid descent via a series of twists, turns and sudden drops along an intricate and dark track.

The spatial-effects lighting, sprinkling the inner-heavens with galaxies of stars, darting meteors and glowing space vehicles, sets the stage for an adventure as close to a cosmic voyage as most people will ever experience.
