    I've ridden this ride at both WDW and Paris. I much preferred the Paris version because it has a more intense track layout with a few inversions. It's also the only version of Space Mountain that starts with a "launch" ... which when you think about it makes the most sense as a way to start a ride all about launching into space!

      Hehehe our French Space Mountain Mission is indeed more faster, intense and brutal. You'll have a blast. Love the launch part and we're actually the only one to have it
      If you're a Rollercoaster fan. This is a must do

    In Shanghai, it is called - De Tron de la Leight Cyclay. I think Paris wins the BEST overall version still to this day. Seeing the details of it is just stunning. I love the steampunk - Bioshock look! Oh, and you should also mention capacity of each version. I think Haunted Mansion and Pirates can do max of 40,000 riders per day. Those rides chew through park guests. Somewhere Disney lost its way on capacity with most rides. Shanghai pirates looks like it is a monster of capacity! Now that I have finished the video.... Paris version of Space Mountain may be the BEST of all Disney rides!

    I went on space mountain Paris I had fast pass, so I went to that line. There was someone laying down on the floor so they told us to backup. They gave us our ride pass back because you can only do it once but, they made and announcement saying that they had technical difficulties witch really meant someone was dead.

      There was at the time when space mnt. Opened at WDW at the end of the as you were exiting you would have course went up on a movable walkway , and when as you looked up there would be RCA TV ' s to try to advertise the need to buy them RCA was the sponsor of the ride at that time😅

    • @ParallelDiscover
      @ParallelDiscover  Před rokem

      This is actually not the case. The matterhorn has multiple points where the ride tracks "interact." In space mountain, they really only interact by the lift hill. Watch a lights on pov. There is no point one track dives under the other, or where the two tracks bank together

    Disneyland's original tunnel between the small lift and the large chain lift - was streaks of tiny lights with wushing sounds - then later, they copied the blue lights from WDW's tunnel. - The Spacecraft seen on the chain lift at WDW was variant copy of the spaceship Discovery from 2001 A Space Odyssey movie -- and then Disneyland replicated that same craft for the queue. Then later, they modified it.
