In rating these coasters, it is impossible to look at them as just "roller coasters". They have been designed and themed to present an idea or fantasy all wrapped into a great ride. Space Mountain succeeds on every level. The theming is impeccable, the operators are efficient, the ride is high capacity. The ride itself is smooth and thrilling utilizing helices and banked turns as oppposed to big drops and airtime. Understandable in a dark ride. Not a crack of light permeates this ride and the effects, though rather simple, cant really be improved upon. It is worth noting that this Space Mountain is significantly more thrilling than its Floridian counterpart. Although the WDW Space Mountain is quieter and embodies a higher degree of theming, this one one ups it by delivering a great ride. Perfection!
