![]() NASA astronaut and Mercury 7 member Gordon Cooper was part of the creative team that developed Space Mountain in order to make the ride seem like actual spaceflight and the result has left many a rider (including yours truly) wondering how many more thrilling, albeit bumpy, rides through space it would take before NASA officially declares you as astronaut. A lot has changed since the steel roller coaster opened in 1975, but what has not is the futuristic vibe that extends all the way from the star map and interactive queue (much improved as part of a 2009 renovation) to the iconic energy tunnel which “propels” you into outer space! Adding to the sensation of space travel is the intentionally dark interior of the mountain and the “Starry-O-Phonic” soundtrack which has become a Disney classic.
