History Ride / SpaceMountain

* TheArtifact: For the Paris version of ''Hyperspace Mountain'', the ''Franchise/StarWars''-themed ride contrasts heavily with the Victorian/steampunk exterior building and boarding station, since they are holdovers from previous versions of the ride.

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

** ''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.

* '''Tokyo Disneyland''': This version, which opened with the park in 1983, is a near-duplicate of Disneyland's coaster, with only a few minor (mostly cosmetic) differences. Notably, due to it being virtually unchanged since opening, It remains the only version to lack an in-ride soundtrack. Disney would go on to announce that a new and more unique literation of the ride would [[https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2022/04/a-new-space-mountain-coming-to-tokyo-disneyland-in-2027/ replace the existing ride in 2027]] with the original closing in 2024. According to Disney, this new version of the ride is planned to have even more thrills and would place a great emphasis on the connection between Earth and the universe at large.

* TheArtifact: For the Paris version of ''Hyperspace Mountain'', the ''Film/StarWars''-themed ride contrasts heavily with the Victorian/steampunk exterior building and boarding station, since they are holdovers from previous versions of the ride.

* '''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 originated ''Ghost Galaxy'' as part of their darker Halloween traditions at the park and has also hosted the ''Hyperspace Mountain'' overlay from Disneyland.

** A 3D model of [[Franchise/LiloAndStitch Stitch]] appears in the safety video for the Magic Kingdom version. (Also counts as ArcWelding, since Ride/StitchsGreatEscape is located in the same park.)

* '''Tokyo Disneyland''': This version, which opened with the park in 1983, is a near-duplicate of Disneyland's coaster, with only a few minor (mostly cosmetic) differences. Notably, due to it being virtually unchanged since opening, It remains the only version to lack an in-ride soundtrack and also retains the original track layout by Arrow Dynamics, which has been removed from Disneyland's version during its 2005 refurb in favor of a rebuilt, smoother track by Dynamic Structures.

* '''Tokyo Disneyland''': This version, which opened with the park in 1983, is a near-duplicate of Disneyland's coaster, with only a few minor (mostly cosmetic) differences.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Florida's version, as the first to open, has several things that set it apart from the others, such as having two tracks instead of one, and tandem single-file seating instead of two rows of seats. The need for a single track layout beginning with the Disneyland variant was a matter of space constraints, since Florida's Space Mountain exists outside the park berm (necessitating guests pass under the railroad going to and from the ride) whereas the other versions are all inside the park berm.

** ''Hyperspace Mountain'': An imported version of Disneyland's overlay, originally part of the parks' 2017 season of the force, it ended up becoming a permanent overlay, without any news about whether any of the other two versions will be making a comeback in the near future.
* '''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 originated ''Ghost Galaxy'' as part of their darker Halloween traditions at the park and has also hosted the''Hyperspace Mountain'' overlay from Disneyland.

* '''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:

** Magic Kingdom's version includes a interactive game in the queue line that lets gets blast their way through an asteroid field.

* KitschyLocalCommercial: When the ride was sponsored by Federal Express in the '90s, the queue line was given a fictional amount of intergalactic TV programming that played as guests were waiting for their rockets. You could expect many commercials, news stories, fashion updates, and various other TV programs, but the one that fits the "kitschy" mold in particular was the hyperactive "Crazy Larry" (played by Creator/CharlesFleischer), whose business had pretty much the most commercials in the whole loop.

** At the exit of Magic Kingdom's version, there's a panel labeled "Closed Sectors" that lists the acronyms of several of the park's former attractions.
** Magic Kingdom's version also contains several nods to the former ''Ride/{{Horizons}}'' attraction at Epcot, such as a suitcase being labeled as "Mesa Verde" in the baggage claim in the exit area.
** ''Rockin' Space Mountain'' included a blink-and-you-miss-it reference to the "Space Stage," a venue for live performances that previously occupied the ride's spot in Tomorrowland.

* RecycledInSpace: The North American (Disneyland and Walt Disney World) and Asian (Tokyo Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland) versions of Space Mountain are pretty much The Matterhorn [-IN SPACE-], sans monster (save for a spooky look for Halloween). This is even more apparent in Florida's version, where the vehicles only fit one rider per row and the ride features two dueling tracks, just like the Matterhorn. Disneyland Paris' version, on the other hand, [[SubvertedTrope is an entirely different story.]]

** ''Hyperspace Mountain'' ties the original ride to the larger Season of the Force overlay in Tomorrowland, as well as to Ride/StarTours. Although all digital media was changed (the queue videos, music, and effects on the ride), the ride vehicles and buildings themselves were not.

* '''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:

* '''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.

** The versions in Tokyo and Florida were given more minor scenery and effects upgrades in 2007 and 2009, respectively. Florida's version was also updated again to feature a ''Starry-O-Phonic'' soundtrack.
