 The Coolest Thing Ever Happened at MK today...
The coolest thing ever happened at MK today. We were riding Space Mountain, and suddenly all the lights came on. But we kept moving! We rode almost the entire thing with the lights on. It was so freaky! It looks really unsafe with all the lights on. I was in the front seat, so it was pretty freaky. We got to go back to the front of the line, though, and ride it with the lights on. It was so cool!

We've had that happen a couple of times before, both while on Space Mountain and once while on TTA. It does look very different with the lights on.

Go to YouTube and do a search for Space Mountain lights on and you will find videos of the ride with lights on. Cool stuff!

You are more brave than I would have been. I have been through with the lights on while I was riding the TTA and decided that I had better not look too closely, or I may be less inclined to travel to space anytime soon! That is one messy looking track!
Fun experience for you though!

yeah that happens all the time and you probably heard the attention space travelers spiel and when u either finished to unload cuz the other side went 101 or if your side went 101 then a cast member pushed the train.
Thats normal at space. Its called a ride cascade. It looks a lot closer than you think it does but it is safe in the dark or with lights on.
attention space travelers all flights have been put in a holding patern. travelers in rockets please remain seated as ur flight will continue in a moment. those travelers awaiting departure please remain where you are and a host or hostess will direct you.
-
That is so cool. We've not had that happen to us yet, but I've seen some of the videos on YouTube and it definitely looks crazy. Glad you enjoyed it enough to get back on.
I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

The lights came on while we were waiting in line when I was a kid. It kinda took away some of the mystery of the ride. I was a little disappointed. But, I have ridden it several times since then (1986) and I love it.

This happens alot at space, I remember working there and it happening at least 2 times a day. Actually the ride I think is very boring with the lights on, then again, I've rode it with the lights on multiple times

Sorry, hit the wrong switch!
I think I'd rather keep the illusion intact. With the lights on, it might as well be a roller coaster at an amusement park.

Maybe they can make it so you have the choice of riding with the lights on or off. It would be like having two different rides.

Yea, it wasn't much fun with the lights on. I was worried about getting my head chopped off, so the ride wasn't very entertaining. And it just seems a lot slower and A LOT more boring.

I just watched the youtube video and what suprised me is that parts of the track is so low to the ground lol. Am I the only one that thought the coaster went way up in the dome for most of it??
-
I had the pleasure of riding SM with the lights on back in 1997. It amazed me how it's pretty much a kiddie coaster (not even as scary as the Wild Mouse). I guess perspective means a lot, making the darkness of the ride so effective!
The track really is a mess! haha I always tell people they REALLY mean it when they tell you to stay in your seat!!

Yea.. it really loses the magic with the lights on. Maybe that wouldn't happen if we got the refurb the DL version got.

Way back in 1978 I remember riding this with my Uncle Bruce (RIP) while the lights were on. That track is pretty awesome when you actually see it.
