Space Mountain blasted off 50 years ago, forever changing the theme park world. This iconic attraction’s popularity continues to grow and has inspired more experiences and attractions from around the world, including Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Tokyo Disney Resort, and more.

Ride Space Mountain

If you are visiting Magic Kingdom today, head over to Tomorrowland and experience Space Mountain.

Blast off into blackness as a futuristic soundtrack echoes around you and shooting stars and celestial satellites zoom about. Hold on tight as you roar past streaking orbs of light, wayward comets, and migrant meteors. This is a great way to celebrate 50 years of fun!
