*Disneyland has been known to switch up the music too – they will change the ride’s soundtrack for special events and holidays (like Halloween when it transforms into “Ghost Galaxy”!) The Florida version of the ride doesn’t have any music at all – which personally never mattered to me, but to many is considered a negative As you fly through the dark building, upbeat music keeps you hyped up and builds anticipation as new turns and drops come up. The music was added to the California ride in the mid-1990s, and it makes a big difference in the ride experience. Music: On Disneyland’s Space Mountain, there are speakers located right next to each rider’s head on either side. Many believe that Disneyland wins when it comes to comfort on Space Mountain – as the seats have more support for the head and neck, and are also easier to climb in and out of

Ride cars: Disneyland’s Space Mountain offers sets of two side by side seats with headrests for its riders, whereas Walt Disney World’s version has three single rider seats per car. Because of all this, the California Space Mountain is smaller at 118 feet tall and 200 feet in diameter Oh and – An exact copy also wouldn’t have fit, as WDW’s Magic Kingdom is a bigger space. Size Matters: The Florida version is over 180 feet high and 300 feet in diameter, and since Disneyland is built on a much smaller scale than the Magic Kingdom, Disneyland’s Space Mountain would have towered over Main Street and ruined the illusion of scale had it been copied exactly from the Florida model.

So read on for the Info on Space Mountain – DL vs WDW: Some MAJOR differences between the two Parks can be found in their Space Mountain rides – in fact, they are so different that people debate over which is better. For those who have been to both the Florida WDW and California DL versions of Disney Parks, you can attest to the fact that they have many similarities – but that as a whole, they are VERY different from each other (check out more on the differences between the two locations to determine which place would be best for your next vacation Here).
