I'm going to DLP again in July. I've been twice before and each time I've ridden BTM. It's now just behind pirates and phantom as one of my favourite attractions in the parks. So far it's the only rollercoaster I've been on there, because I'm a bit of a wuss!
I really want to try space mountain because everyone I know that's been on it has said its amazing. I want to know which roller coasters I should do before then, so that I've built up to it properly. Any help would be great. Thanks!
I first went on Space Mountain when I was about 8 years old and it wasn't willingly. I had stayed away from bigger roller coasters preferring smaller, more relaxed rides. I suffered with nosebleeds a lot as a kid and was convinced that rides like Space Mountain were bad for me. My mum left my younger brother with my dad and took me to Space Mountain. I was quite scared and can still remember standing in the queue just before you get on the ride thinking of every excuse I could to get out of it. My mum wanted me to try it so in the end I did.
When the ride shoots up the "cannon", I remember wacking my head against the headrest which made me worry even more. However, all things said, I really enjoyed it; headache and all! Over the next 10 years, it became one of my favourite rides in the park and I look forward to it every time.
Initially, it can be scary. It is fast, jerky and loops etc in the dark, but after you've done it once, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner
