Very dark attraction

Honestly not my favourite. I can’t help but to compare it to the Disneyland Paris version which is an incredible thrill ride that has multiple loops and corkscrews. I was a little underwhelmed when I experienced the Disney world space Mountain.
Pros:
Still a good thrill ride, there aren’t very many thrill rides in the magic kingdom so it is a fun option if you like a thrill.Cons:
I wish it went upside down. Also I felt a little nervous on this attraction because you feel like your head is very close to the tracks(it’s completely safe)!Reviewed by FishinGoofy Review Date: 09/15/2021

I'm going to preface this review by admitting that I really do not like rollercoasters in general. That said, this is actually not that bad of a coaster. I would ride it at least once a trip. Its a pretty good mouse trap coaster but because it is so dark, it does feel a lot faster and wilder than a traditional mouse trap. The ride is a little rough, but I think the main reason for me that it feels so rough is the ride vehicle. The ride car is single line seating and fairly small/low to the ground. I'm SHORT (5'4) and I felt like I didn't have enough leg room.
Pros:
Good mouse trap coaster, great themingCons:
Ride vehicle small, can make ride feel rough.Reviewed by DrSeekersDinoPuppet Review Date: 02/15/2021

Let me start by saying I enjoy Space Mountain. A lot. That being said, for me it is the worst of the three mountains and that is because the ride vehicle is not designed for anyone over 5'9". My knees and back take a beating getting into and out of this ride vehicle but once I am in I have the time of my life. Watch your head!!
Pros:

I thought my 7 year old would freak out, but she loved this ride and ended up riding it 2 more times. Good old fashioned Disney dark coaster. Very thrilling and seems a lot faster than it is.
Pros:
A perfect match of thrilling yet not thrilling.Cons:
The darkness can make you quezzy.Reviewed by Braden Review Date: 07/28/2020

This is a very fun coaster. Although it doesn’t go that fast, it feels like you are going crazy fast. Also it is in the dark which means you never know where you will turn or drop next.
Pros:
Very fun coasterCons:
Very shaky and needs new track. Also has long lines.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 04/09/2020

A fun, high-speed roller coaster ride in the dark. You can't see any twists, turns or drops so you have no idea what lies ahead. And to me, that's what is the most fun.
There are two tracks, supposedly both the same. Opinions differ as to which side is better. I can't say I notice a big difference.
While not an original WDW attraction, it's still over 40 years old and showing some wear. The ride can be bouncy, jouncy and sometimes jarring, so take notice of the pre-ride warnings. I used to ride this several times, but now it's a "one and done" each time I visit. Well, maybe I'm just getting old(er)....
Wait times can be long, and would recommend a Fastpass. I would have given this a 9, but because the ride isn't as smooth as it used to be, I gave it an 8. Still, check it out and you decide for yourself.
Pros:
Fun, older roller coaster in the dark so twists, turns and drops can't be anticipated.Cons:
Fun, older roller coaster whose ride isn't as smooth as it used to be - can be jouncy and jarring. Be mindful of pre-show warnings, but don't let it scare you out of riding.Reviewed by PolynesianStitch Review Date: 04/21/2019

Seems faster due to darkness. Fun because its hard to anticipate what is coming next
