Is Space Mountain too scary for a 6 year old?

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.

EE has a faster top speed and more thrilling drops, and theres that backwards portion. The view from the top is great also. Space is a fun coaster in complete darkness but EE still holds more thrills for me ... even with a bad Yeti component.

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.
