When speeding around a corner (that the human body can see) on a rollercoaster the human body knows its coming, hence preparing itself. Seeing the track in front of you means the human body reacts, making for a comfortable ride, however Space Mountain is mainly in darkness, so a few corners are tight and do make the head bash around in the seat restraint. Personally never been uncomfortable on this ride, and have been on this about 10 times in one day.

The seat restraints are well padded, with the on board music pumping away behind your ears, theming inside is fantastic, keep an eye out for red “laser type” lights at the end- makes you feel quite spaced out! This ride is one of my favourite coasters in Europe and blows the socks off any other Space Mountain currently in Disney parks.

This is possibly my favourite ever rollercoaster and definitely agree that it’s best to do this as night, as it’s all lit up and so is the park, gives a more magical feel (which is what Disney’s about right?).

I much prefer this Paris version to the Florida one, and I love the way you just shoot up and pause, and shoot again, rather than creep.

I am forever faithful to Space Mountain!

I tried various ways of minimising this on different days; hat/no hat, head pushed back, head relaxed, hold restraint handles, don’t hold handles, but could not find a position that stopped the banging about. I seem to feel the head banging most at the very end of the ride (swirly red light tunnel) and I’d try and tense up here to stop it. My daughter who is 5′ 6″ (I’m 5′ 8″) rode every time with me and she had no problems whatsoever. She does have a lot of hair whereas I shave my head, so maybe lots of hair is the answer ;-)

Despite all of this it is an awesome ride and everybody should try it at least once.

The effects are great and also with the lights it makes it so much more “spacey”. The launch at the start is so cool and if you have the chance, go in the front seats because the experience is so much better.

The queue always is long so the fastpasses are very handy. The queue zone is rather….plain but the ride definitly makes up for it.

The queue isn´t very long. Only once I had to wait 30 minutes ( it was summer, beutiful wheater and at least thousands of people).

I only can say: if you like rollercoasters then you love Space Mountain!

We rode this three times on our trip just last week. Two out of the three times we had major head banging and came off with a slight headache, but one time mysteriously it was perfect and our heads were not rattled about at all, have yet to figure out why though! A tip is to keep your head pressed back into the head rest to avoid banging your ears from side to side!

I took this ride at 9 pm on a busy weekend, and it was a walk-on.
