Space Mountain

This ride is a blast into space past shooting stars and celestial satellites.  You'll twist and turn through the dark on this fun indoor coaster located in Tomorrowland.

Space Mountain originated in the early 1960's when Walt Disney conceived the idea of a high-speed thrill attraction based on the imaginative thrust and excitement of the Space Age. Rising to a sloping, cone-shaped peak 183 feet above ground level, Space Mountain contains 4508500 cubic feet--capable of holding a small skyscraper in its interior. The adventure has a base diameter of 300 feet and took two years to build. In basic structure, the mountain is composed of great ribbed slopes--72 massive pre-stressed concrete beams forming a gigantic sealed cone. Each of the 74-ton concrete beams was cast near the Space Mountain site and then hoisted into place by mammoth cranes to complete the cone. Each beam is 117 feet long, 13 feet wide at the bottom and 14 feet wide at the top. This was the first Space Mountain. There is now a Space Mountain in Tokyo, Paris, and Anaheim.
