->''Space shuttle, this is flight safety. Keep your hands on the handrail or inside the vehicle and remain seated while in motion. You are cleared for launch!''
''Space Mountain'' is an indoor roller coaster at the Ride/DisneyThemeParks that's themed around a thrilling trip through outer space. The ride itself is located in a giant futuristic-looking mountain, hence the title.
The origins for the attraction date back to early '60s, when following the success of the ''Matterhorn Bobsleds'', Walt Disney was eager to add more thrill rides to Disneyland, prompting him to encourage his creative team to come up with an idea for a new indoor roller coaster. The resulting concept was of a space coaster set inside a massive mountain, that was first given the name "Space Mountain" in 1966. The project ended up being shelved for the time being, as it was deemed too implausible to build.
Nearly a decade later, the attraction would finally come to fruition at Walt Disney World, as the success of Magic Kingdom kick-started ideas for some thrill rides to add to the park. Due to there not being enough room available to duplicate the ''Matterhorn Bobsleds'' coaster in Fantasyland, the plans for a space coaster in Tomorrowland were revived. Since its opening in 1975, the coaster was brought over to several of the Disney parks across the world. Its locations include:
* '''Magic Kingdom''': Where the coaster first opened on January 15th, 1975. This version includes two seperate ride tracks that are mostly identical, and with the 2009 refurbishment it was given a storyline that revolves around the "Starport Seven-Five", a travel agency that brings Tomorrowland citizens to places all around the universe.
* '''Disneyland''': Opening on May 27th, 1977, this version includes only one track that's nevertheless much different from Magic Kingdom's. The ride is set inside "Space Station 77", with the story being that the guests are being sent off on some sort of expedition through space. One thing that sets this iteration apart from the one at Magic Kingdom is that it has been given several different overlays over the years, which include:
** ''Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy'': Done every year for the Halloween season, this overlay has guests being pursued by an EldritchAbomination nebula ghost throughout the ride.
** ''Rockin' Space Mountain'': A very brief overlay that lasted from January to April 2007, it included several new effects being added in and the coaster itself synced up to the Music/RedHotChiliPeppers song, ''Higher Ground''.
** ''Hyperspace Mountain'': A temporary overlay themed around ''Franchise/StarWars'' that was included as a part of the parks' Season of the Force event. Set inbetween the events of ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' and ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', the story took place during the Battle of Jakku, with the guests and a group of X-Wing fighters being sent in by Admiral Ackbar to investigate a lone Star Destroyer hovering near Jakku. Things take a thrilling turn when it turns out to be a trap set by the Empire, resulting in the riders being sent hurtling through a giant space dogfight between the X-Wings and a legion of TIE fighters.
* '''Tokyo Disneyland''': This version, which opened with the park in 1983, is a near-duplicate of Disneyland's coaster, with only a few minor differences.
* '''Disneyland Paris''': The ride here is drastically different from the other versions, as well as being much more intense, as it is instead a launched coaster that includes several inversions among other other things. There have been two different incarnations of the coaster:
** ''Space Mountain: De la Terre à la Lune'' [[note]]''From the Earth to the Moon''[[/note]]: This version was themed around the Creator/JulesVerne book, ''Literature/FromTheEarthToTheMoon''. Just like the novel, guests were shot into space by a giant cannon called the "Columbiad Cannon", and from there would come across several more references to the works of Jules Verne. This iteration operated from 1995 to 2005.
** ''Space Mountain: Mission 2'': Opening in 2005, this new version modernizes the attraction with updated effects, a new storyline, and a new soundtrack; while at the same time keeping much of the Victorian theming and some of the Jules Verne references, as it still involves guest being shot into space via a cannon.
* '''Hong Kong Disneyland''': Similar to Tokyo Disneyland, this version is a near-duplicate of the Disneyland ride, with there merely being a few differences in its queue line. Along with that, it also has hosted the ''Ghost Galaxy'' and ''Hyperspace Mountain'' overlays from Disneyland.

!!Tropes shown in ''Space Mountain'' include:

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Some have argued that ''Ghost Galaxy'' is basically Disney's answer to ''Ride/RevengeOfTheMummy'' at Ride/UniversalStudios, as both are roller coasters in near-pitch black darkness that involve guests being menaced by threatening spirits.
* ArtificialGravity: Disneyland's version, which is themed as a space station, features this throughout the inside.
* AscendedExtra: ''Hyperspace Mountain'' has Admiral Ackbar as the main character, who in the past has been a relatively minor character in the films.
* AsteroidMiners: In ''De la Terre à la Lune'', riders would come across a machine that the Baltimore Gun Club (the group that created the Columbiad Cannon) built for the purpose of mining through asteroids for minerals.
* AsteroidThicket:

* ChromaKey: The exit of Magic Kingdom's version has a green screen wall on one side, and when in front of the green screens, guests can see themselves on TV monitors looking as if they're in space.
* CoolHouse: The post-show of Magic Kingdom's version includes a quick trip through a stylish and futuristic home.
* CoolStarship: The mini-rockets that the guests ride in.
* {{Crossover}}: ''Hyperspace Mountain'' mixes the regular ride with the ''Franchise/StarWars'' series.

''Space Mountain'' is an indoor roller coaster at the Ride/DisneyThemeParks that's themed around a thrilling trip through outer space. The ride itself is located in a giant futuristic-looking mountain, hence the title.
The origins for the attraction date back to early '60s, when following the success of the ''Matterhorn Bobsleds'', Walt Disney was eager to add more thrill rides to Disneyland, prompting him to encourage his creative team to come up with an idea for a new indoor roller coaster. The resulting concept was of a space coaster set inside a massive mountain, that was first given the name "Space Mountain" in 1966. The project ended up being shelved for the time being, as it was deemed too implausible to build.
Nearly a decade later, the attraction would finally come to fruition at Walt Disney World, as the success of Magic Kingdom kick-started ideas for some thrill rides to add to the park. Due to there not being enough room available to duplicate the ''Matterhorn Bobsleds'' coaster in Fantasyland, the plans for a space coaster in Tomorrowland were revived. Since its opening in 1975, the coaster was brought over to several of the Disney parks across the world. Its locations include:
* '''Magic Kingdom''': Where the coaster first opened on January 15th, 1975. This version includes two seperate ride tracks that are mostly identical, and with the 2009 refurbishment it was given a storyline that revolves around the "Starport Seven-Five", a travel agency that brings Tomorrowland citizens to places all around the universe.
* '''Disneyland''': Opening on May 27th, 1977, this version includes only one track that's nevertheless much different from Magic Kingdom's. The ride is set inside "Space Station 77", with the story being that the guests are being sent off on some sort of expedition through space. One thing that sets this iteration apart from the one at Magic Kingdom is that it has been given several different overlays over the years, which include:
** ''Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy'': Done every year for the Halloween season, this overlay has guests being pursued by an EldritchAbomination nebula ghost throughout the ride.
** ''Rockin' Space Mountain'': A very brief overlay that lasted from January to April 2007, it included several new effects being added in and the coaster itself synced up to the Music/RedHotChiliPeppers song, ''Higher Ground''.
** ''Hyperspace Mountain'': A temporary overlay themed around ''Franchise/StarWars'' that was included as a part of the parks' Season of the Force event. Set inbetween the events of ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' and ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', the story took place during the Battle of Jakku, with the guests and a group of X-Wing fighters being sent in by Admiral Ackbar to investigate a lone Star Destroyer hovering near Jakku. Things take a thrilling turn when it turns out to be a trap set by the Empire, resulting in the riders being sent hurtling through a giant space dogfight between the X-Wings and a legion of TIE fighters.
* '''Tokyo Disneyland''': This version, which opened with the park in 1983, is a near-duplicate of Disneyland's coaster, with only a few minor differences.
* '''Disneyland Paris''': The ride here is drastically different from the other versions, as well as being much more intense, as it is instead a launched coaster that includes several inversions among other other things. There have been two different incarnations of the coaster:
** ''Space Mountain: De la Terre à la Lune'' [[note]]''From the Earth to the Moon''[[/note]]: This version was themed around the Creator/JulesVerne book, ''Literature/FromTheEarthToTheMoon''. Just like the novel, guests were shot into space by a giant cannon called the "Columbiad Cannon", and from there would come across several more references to the works of Jules Verne. This iteration operated from 1995 to 2005.
** ''Space Mountain: Mission 2'': Opening in 2005, this new version modernizes the attraction with updated effects, a new storyline, and a new soundtrack; while at the same time keeping much of the Victorian theming and some of the Jules Verne references, as it still involves guest being shot into space via a cannon.
* '''Hong Kong Disneyland''': Similar to Tokyo Disneyland, this version is a near-duplicate of the Disneyland ride, with there merely being a few differences in its queue line. Along with that, it also has hosted the ''Ghost Galaxy'' and ''Hyperspace Mountain'' overlays from Disneyland.

* AscendedExtra: ''Hyperspace Mountain'' has Admiral Ackbar as the main character, who in the past has been a relatively minor character in the films.

* LuredIntoATrap: Upon coming to the location of the Star Destroyer in ''Hyperspace Mountain'', the Rebels soon discover that the Empire has set up a trap for them, as they are soon faced with a barrage of TIE fighters. And yes, Ackbar does say that famous line once again.
