Blog: Disneyland Day 2 Part 3 - Space Mountain! Riding The Nose Of The Monorail! (Patreon)
Content
After heading back in the park from my Meet & Greet we stumbled upon the Disneyland band and some characters! Donald Duck pointed out my cute donut ears and I died of happiness. (Donald Duck is my favorite of Mickey & Friends)
We rushed over to Space Mountain cause I nearly missed our fast pass time! It seemed like everything was getting in the way of us riding it so I was super excited. I didn't really know what to expect with Space Mountain other than I knew it was in the dark and had awesome music.
The initial blue tunnel is freaking amazing by the time you start going down the first turn the music really pumps you up! In my video it's hard to see but there is a faint red light that looks like it's going around you when you're going up the hill. (Which being in the very back I didn't even notice you can't hear the chain like in most rollercoasters) It felt like we were in the void of space.
The thing about Space Mountain is, unless you have the track memorized it's really really disorientating! So, you can't expect all the turns (and there is a lot of turns) plus they use the fan technology like Rise of The Resistance where it makes you feel like you're going faster. So it honestly feels like you're just spinning in a super fast void of darkness with some stars.
I've been addicted to the Space Mountain music since I got home from the trip! I wish I could've rode it twice but it made my brother suuuuper motion sick so we went back to our hotel to rest almost immediately.

I love things like trains and monorails so it was an experience on it's own! The cast members were nice enough to let us ride one of the nose cones! (Which I wouldn't recommend in the summer there is NO air conditioning in them at least in February lol) Which was so so so so so so coooool I'm so happy I knew about that because you get a beautiful view!
We came back in the park via the monorail and my brother had us stop to get another churro. I think he really loves Disneyland churros cause he keeps bringing it up! I kinda had to pull his arm to get him to go to Fantasyland (he really didn't like how crowded it was) but I wanted to ride Storybook Land sooooo bad and go inside Sleeping Beauty's castle... next blog!

(Which "mountain" is the best at Disneyland in my opinion? Hmm.. I'll tell you soon.)
