How Tall is Space Mountain in Walt Disney World?
So before we get to how tall Space Mountain is in the Walt Disney World Resort, a question in the Disney 100 Tik Tok quiz, we first have to break down which one that is. It’s the park in Orlando, in the Magic Kingdom. Why am I making the distinction? Because there are also Space Mountains in Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Tokyo Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland, and the ride is not exactly the same in each case. The ride first opened in 1975, after a long development, and has since changed, of course. But how tall is the Disney World Space Mountain? It’s 183 feet, aka 55.8 meters. Just in case, here are all of the answers the quiz offers and the correct answer in bold.
- 103 feet
- 123 feet
- 153 feet
- 183 feet
And there you go, that’s how tall Space Mountain is in the Walt Disney World Resort, in case you’ve been struggling with the question in the Disney 100 Tik Tok quiz. Mr. Walt first conceived of the ride after the success of the Matterhorn ride, opened in 1959. Apparently, Disney was reticent to include thrilling rides into his parks, presumably trying to keep it all family-friendly. However, since the Matterhorn was (and still is, I believe) a huge success, it jump-started the development of Space Mountain. And now it’s arguably one of the most famous rides of all time, with “children” in four other Disney parks.
