Location: Tomorrowland

Description:  This is a park favorite and the first thing many people head to when they entire Magic Kingdom Park.  This is an “in the dark” roller coaster and can be scary.  While this ride only reaches a max speed of 29.7 miles and is under 3 minutes long the dark element really adds to the drama and makes you feel like you are shuttling through space.  Unsure if it will be to tough for you or your family? Try checking out the sneak peek on the People Mover.  Space Mountain really is a fun ride and shouldn’t be missed!

Average Wait Times: Arguably the most popular attraction in Tomorrowland, this is something you should plan to Fast Pass unless you stumble upon a short line (in that case Fast Pass and then hop right on)!
