What are the restrictions on Space Mountain?

Space Mountain. Must be at least 44 inches (112 cm) tall to ride. For safety, you should be in good health and free from high blood pressure, heart, back, or neck problems, motion sickness, or other conditions that could be aggravated by this adventure. Expectant mothers should not ride.



Space Mountain at Disney parks has several strict safety and physical restrictions to protect guests during its high-speed, jerky maneuvers in total darkness. The most prominent is the height requirement, which is typically 44 inches (112 cm) in Walt Disney World and 40 inches (102 cm) in Disneyland. Beyond height, the ride features a "Safety Warning" for guests with pre-existing health conditions: those with high blood pressure, heart, back, or neck problems, or motion sickness are advised not to ride. Expectant mothers are strictly prohibited from riding due to the sudden drops and lateral G-forces. The restraint system itself—a T-bar lap restraint—requires that guests be of a size that allows the bar to lock securely; some guests with larger body types may find the seating (which is low to the ground and tandem-style in Florida) difficult to enter or exit. Additionally, loose items must be secured, and flash photography is strictly forbidden as it ruins the dark-immersion for other riders and can be disorienting.

Your child is welcome to ride the attraction accompanied by a 14-year-old (or older) as long as he meets the 44in (112cm) or taller requirement set for Space Mountain at Walt Disney World. Each row holds one passenger; three passengers per rocket car, so your child would be accompanied by other people.

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.

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.

Space Mountain is an indoor roller coaster with a theme of high-speed interstellar travel. There are no long drops or swooping hills as there are on a traditional roller coaster - only quick, unexpected turns and small drops.

Space Mountain (coaster with rough, tight turns): It also isn't nearly as short as Seven Dwarfs, and I've often found myself regretting riding it only halfway through. The combination of rough movement and low lighting can make it difficult to anticipate turns and drops, potentially leading to motion sickness.

The cars are designed for only one person per seat, but the lap bar will keep him in the seat securely. I have nephews who rode Space Mtn. when they were only 6 and 5 years old, and they did fine.

Non-alcoholic drinks and waters are totally something you can bring into Disney, it's even encouraged! It is so nice to have a drink on hand whenever you need to quench your thirst. You can bring refillable water bottles and refill them at water stations throughout the parks.

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.

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.

The track length on each of its two tracks is nearly identical to the track length on TRON, but TRON launches at over twice the top speed of Space Mountain, making the newcomer a shorter ride, time-wise.
