Frog Overview

Head inside the Space Port, where you journey into outer space begins. The queue is decked out in all-things space, preparing you for the space voyage. Peer through the space station's windows at the stars shining and glistening in a sea of dense darkness. A sleek, rocket-shaped vehicle is your mode of transportation into deep space on Disney's Space Mountain® Attraction! As you prepare to blast off on your galactic adventure, you'll ascend the 180-foot high mountain, passing the Mission Control booth along the way.

Once at the top of Space Mountain® Attraction, you'll fly through the darkness as your rocket propels through deep space. During your ride, black holes, satellites, shooting stars and constellations hurtle past you. Every move, drop, twist and turn will come as a complete surprise since you're engulfed in darkness on the roller coaster! The space experience is complete with visuals and audio of "Starry-O-Phonic Sounds" that wiz all around you.

Your rocket ship reaches a maximum speed of 28 miles per hour on Space Mountain® Attraction. This may seem like a slow speed than many roller coasters, but because the attraction is in the dark, it gives an illusion of feeling much faster. After you make it safely back into Space Port, you exit your rocket ship onto a moving runway to the Tomorrowland® Area, passing robots, scenes of future homes and businesses and even a display of humans landing on Mars. Don't forget to check out your image of riding Space Mountain® Attraction on the monitors displayed!
