    Space Mountain is just a wild mouse style coaster. If this were outside it would not be exciting at all, most likely a younger kids ride. Like others have said, no big drops, but there are a couple quick dips that catch you off guard because you can't see them coming.

    How does the speed and thrill compare to Test Track. I have done TT and will again so it is my best comparison for thrill and speed

    That's like comparing Big Thunder to the WDW Railroad, you just can't do it. The two rides are that different. TT is fast, but its still pretty much like riding in a car. You can't compare that to a roller coaster in any way.

    I say just give it a shot. You never know, you may love it. Or you may hate it. A LOT. But at least then you will know you never have to ride it again rather than always wondering and second guessing why you never at least tried it.
