Fed Ex (1994-2003)|custom_label_2= Disney Genie +|custom_value_2= No (Lightning Lane Exclusive)}}Space Mountain is an attraction located in [[Tomorrowland]].

The idea Concept art for the attraction was created by Hench, Clem Hall, George Mcginnis and Herb Ryman. Early on, the attraction's name was changed to "Space Venture", as ideas for it continued to be refined <ref name="mouseplanet_space"> http://www.mouseplanet.com/7135/WDWs_Space_Mountain</ref>. To help make the attraction a reality, WED partnered with the Arrow Development Company, who had helped to design the Matterhorn track. In June of 1966 WED employees voted, and decided to change the name once again, this time to Space Mountain came from . Plans for Space Mountain were put on hold indefinably however, in 1966, when Walt Disney himselfdied. After Walt’s passing, a new company wide focus was put on completing Walt Disney World. This, combined with the successes spatial and technological limitations of Disneyland, made the Matterhorn attraction construction of Space Mountain unfeasible for the time being. Although the Space Mountain idea was dead in Disneyland, Walt was convinced that "thrill-rides" had a place it soon found life in his the newly constructed Walt Disney World. The popularity of the new parksurpassed even Disney's expectations, and Disney World proved to be especially popular with teenagers and young adults. With this in mindAlmost as soon as the park opened, in 1964 Walt approached designer plans were made for a new thrill ride <ref name="mouseplanet_space" />. [[Image:SpaceMountainConcept.jpg|400px|thumb|Space Mountain concept art by John Hench with an idea |alt= Space Mountain concept art John Hench]]Disney’s first choice for a new Tomorrowland attractionthrill ride was to construct and east coast version of the Matterhorn. It soon became apparent however that Walt called Disney World’s Fantasyland was not big enough to house the idea iconic attraction. Instead, Disney decided to revisit the "tabled Space Port"Mountain idea, a roller coaster as Disney World’s Tomorrowland had more than enough space for expansion <ref> http://disneylandreport.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-history-of-space-mountain.html.</ref> With the new location in mind, Imagineers got back to work on the dark development of the coaster. One early decision that Disney made was to develop the track for Space Mountain “in house” as opposed to using the Arrow Development Company. WED Engineers further decided to make the coaster a "pure gravity" ride, meaning that Space Mountain would feature lighting and other special effectsno boosters or retarders <ref name="mouseplanet_space" />.

Concept art for One of the attraction was created by Henchnext decisions that Disney had to make involved sponsorship. Like many of the early Walt Disney World attractions, Clem Hallsponsorship money was an intricate part of Space Mountain’s creation. Accepting Disney’s offer of sponsorship, George Mcginnis and Herb RymanRCA agreed to give 10 million dollars towards the construction of the coaster <ref> http://www. The attraction's name was changed mouseplanet.com/10533/Remembering_the_Magic_Space_Mountain </ref>. Due to "Space Voyage"this agreement, Space Mountain’s original queue and ideas for it continued post show were designed to be refinedfeature RCA products <ref name="mouseplanet_space" />. To help make Although the basic concept of the attraction a realitywas agreed upon, WED partnered with the Arrow Development Company, who had helped design final designs of the Matterhorninterior structure, queue and post show all changed various times before Space Mountain was finally built. In June The shape of 1966 WED employees votedSpace Mountain was also a topic of debate amongst Disney Imagineers. Some wanted Space Mountain to look like a dome, and decided to change the name while others wanted to use a "cone" shape. The cone shape idea eventually won out, and on January 15, 1975 Space Mountainofficially opened.

Plans for ===Building Structure and Track Details===When Space Mountain were put on hold indefinably in 1966. After Walt Disney's deathwas constructed, it was seen by many as a new company wide focus technological marvel. The attraction was put on completing the first indoor roller coaster, the first roller coaster to take place completely in the dark, and the first coaster to be operated by computers. Space Mountain also has the distinction of being the second highest building in Walt Disney World. ThisAt 183 feet tall, combined with Space Mountain is just 6 feet shorter than Cinderella Castle. The supports for Space Mountain are also unique, in that they are located on the spacial and technological limitations outside of Disneyland made the construction building instead of Space Mountain unfeasiblethe inside. This was done so that the inside roof would be flat, and projections of space would be able to be shown on it.

Although To create the Space Mountain idea was dead in Disneylandillusion of stars above the riders, 20 mirrored balls are hit with a spotlight. When the light which reflects off the balls hits the roof, it soon found life in gives the newly constructed Walt Disney World. The popularity illusion of stars. Other projections include the new park surpassed even Disney's expectations"shooting stars" which are created by a moving spotlight, and the new park proved to be extremely popular with teenagers asteroids and young adultsgalaxies which are emitted from dimmed down projectors. Almost as soon as In total the park opened plans were made for construction of Space Mountain required 4,000 pieces of steel, and 12,000 feet of electrical wire. Since every piece of steel had to be accessible by stairs, the inside of Space Mountain resembles a new thrill ridemetallic maze.

The final design of the From 1973 until 1994 Space Mountain changed many times before the attraction was eventually builtsponsored by RCA. The Designs the interior structure, queue and post show all changed various times before Guests entered Space Mountain was builtthrough an entrance building located in Tomorrowland which featured three large RCA logos, The shape of Space Mountain was also as well as an original "four seat" ride vehicle, encased in a topic of debate amongst Disney Engineersclear case.

One display for example, showed an astronaut riding his moon buggy in space. On the darkleft hand side of the descending ramp, a series of RCA products were displayed. The reason that guests had to be lowered, was because the queue ran underneath the [[Walt Disney World Railroad]] to the lot where Space Mountain is actually located. After guests finished descending, they reached the "zig-zag corridor". Here windows allowed guests to see out into space. Things that could be seen out these windows included:

Just after entering ===RCA's Home of Future Living===From 1973 until about 1985 Space's Mountains post show was known as the buildingRCA Home of Future Living. After unloading from their ride vehicles, guests boarded a descending would board another moving rampwhich took them up. On the right side of the ramp, guests could would begin to see RCA's logo, Nipper the Fox Terrier inside a flying saucerscenes of how future homes would look.

On The next room that guests saw in the left hand side Home of Future Living was the decention rampnursery. Here, while a series baby stood in her crib, a clown with a camera was broadcasting her to the rest of RCA products the house. This allowed her family to keep an eye on her even though they were displayednot in the same room. The reason for Continuing on, guests passed the descending rampfamily room, where an unidentified female could be seen taking a pottery lesson over her TV. She was able to take talk and communicate with her professor who was being displayed on the TV. The next scene guests underneath saw showed a boy named Billy who was wearing an orange jumpsuit. He was standing outside of his house with a frog and a dog. Billy would talk into a camera mounted next the Walt Disney Railroad door saying "Don't you like frogs Mrs. Brown?” and his mother would then tell Billy that he would have to the lot where Space Mountain is actually locatedstay outside with his pets.

After Going back inside the house, guests finished descendingcould see the recreation room, they reached which was located above the "zig zag corridor"family room. Here windows allowed guests , a teenage boy could be seen taking a ski lesson from the SelctaVision. His younger brother, who was also in the room, was shown building a model rocket using instructions from the television.

Before finally exiting the attraction however, they would also get one final encounter with Billy, who was now holding a satellitevideo camera (pointing it at them). A monitor above would allow guests to see themselves on TV (this was considered one of the highlights of the attraction). Finally, guests would arrive back in Tomorrowland having completed their journey into space. <ref name="youtube" />

*And finallyFurther on in the queue, the windows that guests could previously look out to see various scenes from space were removed and left empty for a family riding number of years. The flying saucer which held the RCA dog and a phonograph machine was also taken out (for obvious reasons).

Here energy can be building up, and eventually propelling guests Changes were made to the other end of the dome. Herepreshow, the rockets do a 180 degree turn ride and go up another lift hill. A mirror positioned at the end of the track, gives riders the allusion that they are about to collide with another rocket.
