. The coaster features no major drops, with a drop height around 8 meters (approximately 26 feet), and the thrill comes more from the darkness and sudden turns rather than high speed or big drops
. In summary, Space Mountain's top speed is roughly 27-28 mph, which is slower compared to other Disney coasters but still delivers an intense experience due to its theming and darkness
