We’ve previously seen what Space Mountain looks like with its lights on from the vantage point of the Wedway Peoplemover. Now, we get to experience the roller coaster with the lights on as if we were riding it in this POV video by Theme Park University.
I have two personal things to say about this:
1. In the early 1980s, my mom and I took a ride on WDW’s Space Mountain when its lights were on. I don’t remember why the lights were on but we talked about it for years afterwards. I was 12 years old at the time.
2. Earlier this year, I took my 13-year-old daughter to Disneyland and we rode Space Mountain, in the dark. I hadn’t ridden it in many years because the line is always so long and I’m sad to report that it made me queasy because it was so dark. My kid, however, loved it, got in the single rider line and rode a few more times.
