Read "SF Gate, what disneyland is doing to repair a crumbling matterhorn". The Matterhorn is 60 yrs old and in pretty bad shape. When it's closed for refurbishment the workers are trying to keep concrete from falling off the mountain. It can't be rebuilt because of new building codes. A new Matterhorn would have to be built like Expedition Everest, where the tracks are on a separate structure from the mountain. I recently saw "Third Man on the Mountain", which came out at the same time as the ride. Great movie about mountain climbing.

Space Mountain was my first roller coaster as a kid in 1977, and therefore the standard I've always measured all other roller coasters. The retro futuristic style of Tomorrowland is still a favorite of mine. It's how I chose to decorate my house, and why Fallout is my favorite video game franchise.

The amount of time and effort put into your content blows my mind ! The professional and intellectual yet humorous flow deserves a larger audience. Keep up the good work my friend.

I can still remember the jingle "Bring the magic home, with RCA" playing on the exit out of Space Mountain from the many times I rode it as a kid.

Now this is what I’m into. Space mountain is one my favorite rides. I was fortunate to be able to ride it with the lights on after hours

When the D-land ride opened it was dark enough NOT to see the track and the red lights at the had a screach sound of deceleration that made you hunch over in surprise. Years later in about the y2k era, the lights were on and you saw all the track and the sound at the end was gone. I belive it was better in the previous incarnation. Haven't been back since.

Thank you for this video. Space Mountain was my first coaster ever. I remember trembling in fear as a 9 year old in the queue when it first opened. Fearing I would fall out, I gripped the metal hand bars on the sides with all my strength while my older sister sitting behind me held me in a bear hug. The restraints at the time were seatbelts. It was a fun and wild ride. Today I ride hypers and gigas and all sorts of crazy inversions, but still hold Space Mountain as one of my favorites.

I watch all the Disney theme park history and rumor channels. I happened upon yours by accident. I have to say you have a wonderful voice, attention to detail, and sincerity! I think slow down just a little in your speech. But the enthusiasm is infectious!. I think I know everything about Disney parks, but you taught me today! Thank you for you hard work. You’ve got another loyal subscriber!

In 81 my brother and I rode space mountain 13 times in a row in our only time going to Disney as teenagers from NY with our parents. Thanks for the great video.

My Pops loves telling the story of when he was apprenticing as a surveyor. He was loaned to his bosses friend to work on Disneyland's space mounting. So laid helped lay out the ground it was built on. He was a 60-70s Bus driving long hair hippie. Disney and Employees gave him dirty looks as they couldn't have long hair and he was still eating at employee food/ break spots.

KZfaq recommended this video to me, and I’m glad I watched it! You did a very thorough job presenting all the facts about Space Mountain at Disney World. Nice job! I never knew that it was originally designed to have four tracks instead of only two. I’ve ridden the Space Mountain at Disneyland twice but never at Disney World even though I’ve been there two times. Both times at Disney World the attraction was closed.
