Space Mountain is an indoor roller coaster with an outer space theme, built in 1977 and re-imagineered in 2005. It retains the same track, entry line configuration and theme, but with new special effects, rocket vehicles and sound track.Space Mountain opened in Disneyland, California in 1977, with six U S. Mercury astronauts and the widow of Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom in attendance.Space Mountain begins in Space Station 77, where riders board their "rocket." Space Mountain is 118 feet tall and 200 feet wide, and its foundation is buried two stories below ground to keep it in scale with the other Tomorrowland attractions.Also part of the major "new" Space Mountain is a nighttime transformation of the attraction to Rock It Mountain, in which the calmer soundtrack of the attraction in daytime hours will be replaced at night by a driving rock soundtrack, and different special effects. Rock It Mountain will not use the Dick Dale soundtrack that many Disney fans enjoyed, but the Dick Dale Space Mountain theme will make one final appearance on Disneyland's 50th Anniversary 6-CD box set.ENJOY!
