This is an experience to remember. As soon as you're launched you start diving into the dark arena, just like if you were going through space. You have no chance to see where you're going. The only thing to see are the lights effects which are amazing. What a ride this is! You can't miss it!
Info taken from the ride's page:
The most sophisticated state-of-the-art adventure of its kind anywhere in the world, Space Mountain - 'From the Earth to the Moon' features five Disney firsts.
Technological enhancements to a computerised ride system result in an experience you've got to fly to believe. Close up, Space Mountain is a breath-taking sight. At night the huge brass dome glows green and gold. As the cannon pounds and recoils, shafts of light spray through the jets of steam. It's pure fantasy in the oldest and greatest Disney tradition (yet built with the latest space-technology specifications). It looks back to a time when extravagant mysteries about space still existed, in an homage to the stories of French visionary Jules Verne. Every 36 seconds the Cannon Columbiad fires, launching a 24 passenger rocket train through its five metre wide barrel. Intrepid space travellers aboard shoot to the top in a heart-stopping 1.8 seconds. At the summit, they experience a moment of zero gravity, before descending into the mountain and the dark, black depths of outer space for a thrilling, high-speed adventure from the earth to the moon.
Space Mountain, the first adventure of the third millennium.
