We've never been to Disneyland but DD saw Space Mountain in Disneyland has different cars, two to a seat. I was just curious if the ride itself is different. If so, which do you enjoy more?
Space Mountain was closed for 9 months, or so at both parks (DL & WDW) a couple of years ago.
Actually, I think the DL Space Mountain was closed for much longer.
On the WDW version you can see the track in the darkness. On the DL version all I could see were the star fields. So I was never sure which direction I was gonna go in.
Edit: yep, I just checked. DL was closed for more than 2 years.
I don't ever remember DL space mountain being closed for 2 years and I have been more than once a year a lot and have never been when it was closed that I can remember.

Other than the name, the outer shell and the fact that both are dark coasters, the rides are completely different.
I'm glad this question was asked. We are going to DL in May and I was wondering the same thing. My daughter was not tall enough to ride the WDW Space Mountain, but will be old enough to ride in DL. After riding it I thought it was probably a good thing she wasn't tall enough. Either I'm getting old (at 30) or I just forgot how rough it was. I was wondering why the height requirements were different. I guess because the one in DL has two riders per row?
