Is Space Mountain a smooth ride?

It's a fun ride, don't get me wrong, but it's far less intense than the original. There's maybe one good drop on the ride; it focuses mainly on helixes the whole ride. It's impeccably smooth, but it doesn't have the same thrill factor as the original IMO.

Space Mountain is an exhilarating experience, but it is ROUGH. You will go in screaming, not out of fear but excitement. It is very dark inside, with limited ability to see so if you do not do well with dark and twisty this ride is not for you.

The ride is relatively jerky. Personally I'd say opinion on the ride mostly comes down to the “in the dark” component. If that appeals to you, you'll probably enjoy the ride. If it doesn't you'll probably feel like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train are easily superior experiences.

No need to worry. If your son is tall enough to ride, he won't have a problem, unless he simply gets scared. There are no big drops on Space Mtn.; only small short ones (at least 3 or 4). The scariest part is the dark and if you're not in the front, you really can't see where your going.

You might be surprised to learn that Space Mountain pokes along at a top speed of only 27 mph. But because it operates in the dark, it amps up the fear of the unknown and makes the coaster seem faster and scarier. Thrill scale: 5.

If it's the being jerked around aspect of coasters that you dislike, Space is definitely rougher than BTMRR. I love them both but if you don't have a crick in your neck when you get on Space, you may well have one when you get off.
