I've still not been on this, I am hoping my 7th time of going will be my first time on Space Mountain
However bad you think it'll be, it isn't, no more scary than crush's coaster.


Yeah, it's the start thats always put me off and the past few times I've been I've been with a non rollercoaster type person, this time however....
Right, after the launch from the columbiad cannon, it's fine. (to be honest, the cannon always makes me feel really scared)

Can be very bumpy depending on where you sit on. So many times I've been thrown around and banged my shoulders on the unforgiving plastic seats. Although my 10 year old had no such problems, maybe it better for patrons under 6 feet

I'm only 5 foot 3, so I'm pretty short :P

Should fit quite snugly then  8) . If you're worried about the actual ride I would give Rock N Rollercoaster a go first, which is a smoother ride.

Haha, not a chance, I know that's the most intense one they have!  ;)

The speed is almost unreal, still such a beautiful and amazing ride though.

It's a very smooth ride compared to most big coasters.

PrincessHi

It depends what scares you most I think - I'm really scared of heights so I normally can't convince myself to go on roller coasters but because this was in the dark it scared me less. I actually didn't even realise it did loops until I read it here haha!! I must have been screaming to much. I really enjoyed it though. I also didn't find it to uncomfortable although I'm only 4ft 9 so as the other poster was saying that might be why?

The first two times I visited DLRP I wouldn't even go on BTM I was that scared of roller coasters!! I finally forced myself to go on Space Mountain this summer and absolutely loved it!!! I can't wait to ride it again in 5 weeks  ;D The other posters are totally right, you don't even realise you've been upside down until its happened. Its such a good ride, give it a go, if you hate it it'll be over before you know it the time goes so quick. The thing about the headrests is also true, my shoulders ached for about a week afterwards and i'm 5 ft 7

If there's ashore wait I think I may brave it
