From the Earth to the Moon was only the beginning.

The mighty Columbiad cannon has been recharged to send you soaring further, faster and stronger than ever before, as you prepare to write a whole new chapter in Jules Verne’s spectacular vision of space travel.

After soaring past the moon and shooting through a series of thrilling near-misses with comets and meteors, you hit the edge of the universe and experience a heart-pounding Supernova explosion!

• While most launched roller coasters built since the opening of Space Mountain launch riders horizontally along the ground, the Columbiad cannon uniquely launches trains upwards at an angle of 32 degrees, custom-designed for the attraction.
• After on-board soundtracks for roller coasters were pioneered with Casey Jr. – Le Petit Train du Cirque in Fantasyland the year earlier, Space Mountain perfected the art with the first multi-section, fully-synchronised on-board ride score. The trains store the music on solid state Flash cards – revolutionary at the time – with each “track” mixed into a seamless score as the trains progress through various electronic checkpoints along the track. There are more than 150 speakers in each train.
• Looking at Space Mountain from a Fantasyland angle, the two cog wheels and round aiming device atop the mountain form a very clever Hidden Mickey.
• The walkway currently occupied by the Fastpass entrance was previously open to all guests, known as the Starway, allowing everyone to at least glimpse inside the mountain should they be too afraid to ride!

Rocket trains are launched to 71 kmph in under 2 seconds from the Columbiad cannon!

Tips

• Got a head for heights (and a stomach for thrills)? Glance to your left as the train launches out of the Columbiad cannon for a breathtaking view over Disneyland Park!

Advice

• Minimum height: 1.32 m (4′ 4″)
• For safety, you should be in good health and free from high blood pressure, heart, back or neck problems, motion sickness or other conditions which could be aggravated by this adventure.
• Expectant mothers and those wearing an orthopaedic device or surgical collar should not ride.
• Transfer required. Must be accompanied in order to assist in transfer to the ride vehicles, which have deep seats and limited legroom.
