Space Mountain

[MouseLover]

When I last rode Space Mountain in 2015 it was really rough -- enough so that I only rode it once.

Has it improved any since then?


SM at Disneyland is so much smoother!

I don't believe the ride system has changed since 2015. If you found it rough then I believe you would find it rough now too.

rough

Nope. rode in 2016.

I find it rough also, but it's better if you sit in the front seat of the car.

Yup. It jacks up my back, but I tolerate it for my daughter. And it's still fun. Test track also gives me a little whiplash but I keep going on that, too. Wait...how much am I paying to have all this "fun"?

Rough in 2016.
Not really enjoyable for us anymore because of it. We're not getting any younger!

Well, I'll have to disagree with everyone! We also recall it being really rough.

Our group of 5, ages 44-52, rode it in late 2017 and we were all prepared to be jostled and were amazed at how smooth it was. So much so we went on it again!

It’s fairly rough

 

[rstamm]

It’s horrible really wish they would make it like Disneyland it is amazing!!!!

Compared to Space Mt. at Disneyland, yes it's very rough and agree with other posters.

Rode it this summer, its just as rough, if not worse. Left me feeling discombobulated and motion sick for the rest of my day. But, everyones different!

 

[zillayen]

Rougher than at DL but nowhere near the torture level of the Matterhorn!

 

[AFwifelife]

It’s the only ride that makes me feel sick and I usually only get motion sick on 3D rides. Just way too rough.

For some reason I find the right side to be smoother and less intense and the left side to be more rough and intense.

I Agree, in fact I let my DH know I wont miss this ride. Getting to rough for me.

However, we did enjoy it last October one time and one time only when we got to ride it with the lights on (from people mover) and it was just enough lighting so you could anticipate the bumps and turns.
It was awesome.


But that will probably never happen again, so I am crossing it off my bucket list as been there done that.

I enjoyed it though when I did ride it years ago.

Safe travels.

Exactly. I refuse to ride in the back. Last time I rode in the back, it felt like my spinal cord came apart and back together again

 

[Micca]

Not only has SM not changed, you're three years older!!! You'll appreciate every little knock and bump just that much more!

 

[randumb0]

I love roller coasters but skip SM because of how rough it is

For some reason I find the right side to be smoother and less intense and the left side to be more rough and intense.

I agree! The two sides are supposed to be mirror images of each other, but many years ago on an E-Ticket night (yes, many years ago) our family rode SM 5 times in a row, alternating sides, and came to the conclusion that the left side was definitely better!

And I almost always ask to sit in #6 position - more G-forces & air time!

So if you want the smoothest ride, sit in #1 on the right side. But don’t expect it to be smooth!
