I’ll be honest: I don’t love ride videos. I’m pretty comfortable with any kind of ride speed, twists and turns so I’m not really that worried before riding any new attraction. Plus, personally I feel like watching a video of a ride can kind of spoil it (especially if there are some cool unexpected twists and turns).
That said, millions of people disagree with me. If you are into ride videos, they can be a good way to get a sense of a ride and answer all kinds of questions like:
- How fast it goes
- How long it is
- How scary it is (or isn’t)
- Whether it goes upside down
- What the seats look like
- Or even what the ride looks like with the lights on
So let’s take a look at the very best Youtube videos of Space Mountain available from each Disney park where the ride (or a variation of the ride) exists.

Space Mountain Videos with the Lights On
We have a post dedicated to this topic, but here are some videos of Space Mountain with the lights on.
At Disney World (Magic Kingdom)
This is a video of Space Mountain at Disney World with the lights on from the People Mover:
A great tip from the video if you’re looking to catch a glimpse of Space with the lights on: if you see that Space Mountain is down hop on the People Mover as you may get to see it with the lights on (though it won’t be POV if the ride is down obviously).
At Disneyland Anaheim
A POV of an active ride through Space Mountain with the lights on at Disneyland:
A night vision video – so not strictly “lights on” but you can see everything and get the same basic effect:
A cool instance where the ride gets stopped, then finished with the lights on:
