Happy Birthday Space Mountain!

Happy Birthday to Space Mountain! That was such a huge deal. I grew up in a very rural area, but somehow all the kids knew about Space Mountain. It was so exciting to finally ride it years later.

Thanks, WonkaKid! Wow…how time flies…still one of my all-time favorite coasters…all versions! Wasn’t there a Black Eyed Pea version once? Or did I dream that???

Oh my gosh, that would be hilarious if they had a Black Eyed Peas version. Maybe it was something where they piped in music? "Let’s get get crunk!"

No idea . But several years ago in Chicago I interviewed Keith Harris, their touring drummer, backstage before a BEP show. Then I got to take some pics from in front of the front row. It was sweet.

Thanks for sharing. We read it was Space Mountain's birthday yesterday after we were on the first train yesterday. It was a cool way to start off our day at Disney.
