I liked this ride even if i did think my head was going to fall off!
Definitely preferred De la Terre a la lune, mission two is on the verge of violent! Your head hurts for hours after this one! Although the swirling red light tunnel is amazing. We got stuck in the canon here 3 weeks ago and had to be taken off down the emergency stairs!
This one wasnt for me and i didnt ride it, but my mum and step dad did. Mum was fine tho said it was very jolty and her neck hurt afterwards. My stepdad actually had to be helped off, as he felt so ill and couldnt go on any more rides that day as a result of feeling ill.
So id recommend it to the more serious roller coaster lover only.
One of the top 5 rides!!
Fab trip to Space, the launch makes my stomach go funny which is always good! Bit rough, but who cares!
A fantastic rollercoaster. Too many people are complaining about Mission 2 being far worse than the 1st Space Mountain… except for the (sometimes very) bumby vehicles, that’s not true, at least to me. Yet, I have to admit, as a total Space Mountain De la Terre à la Lune fan (it was my first coaster with an inversion), I first missed the old soundtrack. The new one surely misses the grandeur style the former one had, but how punchy it is ! It is fantastic and instantly gave the ride a new twist.
I love the new effects, the new launch, the new soundtrack, even though it’s true though that the new storyline doesn’t make much sense. 9/10
Well, i must say that the first time i rode it was fantastic!! After the launch, i saw the stars and planets, and it was fantastic !!! The unique problem of the ride is that the coaster has some bumps… but i think that is fantastic, because it’s like an incredible voyage.
Definitely one of the best rides at Disney. Love the launch at the start, just a shame it slows down a bit at the top. The swirly tunnel at the end is fab. Top ride!!
It took me three years to pluck up enough courage to go on this ride as I had never experienced looping the loop or corkscrews before. Once I had riden it I was very proud of my achievements and couldn’t wait to go back for more. Having also been on the ‘Rock N Roller Coaster’ in the Studios park I would definately say that SMM2 throws you about more. It is no where as smooth a ride but never the less it still thrills me and it definately worth lining up for!
Oh my God, I thought I was going to die! I hated this ride, I was terrified and screamed the whole time (sorry if you were in front of me! LOL) You see I hate drops and being upside down!! My beloved husband and sister and co. conveniently obscured any of the warning signs as we queued!
After, I said if I had known, I wouldn’t have gone on it, thats when they confessed to what they had done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Admittedly ,its funny as hell looking back, but I will NEVER go on it again.
Its not a bad ride, its just not for me. I cant report on any effects because my eyes were screwed up tight the whole way round!!!!!! LOL
Space Mountain: Mission 2 is the best rollercoaster in the Disneyland Park. The attraction has a great design and is very well themed.
Space Moutain means a lot to me; when it first opend in 1999, i was too short to ride. So while my brother and my dad were being blasted out of the enormous, beautiful cannon; i could only imagine how amazing it must be. My family would visit the park fairly regularly, and each time i was a little closer to my goal. After what felt like an eternity, i was finally able to ride; it was worth it.
De la Terre a la Lune (as it was back then) was the most amazing ride i had ever ridden; the speed, the twists, the inversions, and the theming rendered it the best ride in the world (as far as i know). The best thing of all was the on-ride soundtrack however, which was inspiring, powerful, emotive, and highlighted every hill, fall, and turn. However, Mission 2 came along. Certainly, the ride was beginning to show signs of it’s age, the theming inside the mountain was a bit basic, and the mountain was getting a bit tatty. The re-launched version makes the use of some seriously impressive technology (though the on-ride soundtrack has a tendancy to go wrong) and the effects are jawdropping. However, they have almost destroyed the ride’s soul.
The imagineers gave the ride a new premise, distancing it from the Jules Verne novel which inspired its first incarnation, replaing it with a dry, uninspiring theme (apparently after the success of the columbiad, they are now sending people further into space- that’s it!) The ride still has the same track, and has a faster launch (but with a countdown which eliminates the uncertain, surprise factor the old launch system had). However, the ride is not as good as it once was- it is still brilliant, but not fantastic. Also, the new soundtrack is nothing compared to the old one!
Sorry – didn’t like this one. I must be getting old or something.
I have been on numerous rollercoasters including this ride in Florida. I think they have gone too far with this one – you just end up getting whip lash. (Aerosmith was much better)
I must be a wimp these days.
Space Mountain mission 2 was an incredible roller coaster! One of the best ones that I have been on. I’ve been on the new track at Disneyland Anaheim and although it is a lot more tame and not as jerky, SMM2 is definitely better! The inversions are great, although the first one is barely felt IMO. All and all an excellent ride!
My score: 9/10
Brilliant theme, Great Design……. But I prefered De la Terre à la Lune (From the Earth to the Moon). I think for mission 2 they should have just done a referb on the cars, and interior.
Tad bit rough, but apart from that it makes a great ride every time :)
I had been on Space Mountain Mission 1 in 1999 and i am afraid to say it was a lot better than now.
The launch was faster and so was the first swoop, and even if the first meters were in the dark than there was a good ambientation and most of all MUSIC!!
Now you can see nothing, can hear nothing and chances you get off there with a bad neck and head ache are great.
I am always worried about restylings and this is an example i am not so wrong. Shame :(
