At Walt Disney World, Space Mountain has two sides. Which side do you think is better, Alpha or Omega?

I forget which side is which, but I remember liking the left side better.

The side with the shorter line.

Seriously though I have noticed no real difference.

Yeah, there's no difference between the two but I've always preferred riding the one on the left...don't know why.

I agree with the one on the left, but i have no idea why. I think it was the side I rode first.

The one on the right feels faster and a slight bit longer, to me.

One side is 10 feet longer (checked with rcdb.com). I liked the left side slightly better because I remembered a sudden drop I loved. I do agree that both sides are similar, but slightly different.

Yosh I find you funny today and I mean that in a good why, not picking on you like I am often accused. First comfy sweaters at funtown and now.

I do agree that both side are similar, but slightly different. I know exactly what you mean but I still find it funny. must be because I took a day off of work.

Have a good day

I know I've asked this before, but I've never gotten an answer... Isn't space mountain an exact copy of the matterhorn at DLR?

They are different. The Matterhorn's tracks are 80ft tall, while Space Mountain's tracks at Disney World are 90ft tall. I checked on rcdb.com. However, I do agree that the trains and layout look similar. Also, Space Mountain doesn't have the splashdown.

I prefer the left side to the right side. It's longer in length I think and it seems like less people ride this side.

I like the right side better, but which ever line is shorter I go for. The line is usually shorter on the left.
