message: Something to keep in mind - this is an ENCLOSED coaster, not an INDOOR one. An enclosed coaster is in a building that is specifically constructed to house the coaster, while an indoor one is built inside a building that also serves other purposes (i.e. a shopping mall).

message: I have to say, this section is really awful. It makes little or no sense most of the time. For example, it talks about the Matterhorn Bobsleds track being used until 1978. Then what? I just don't get it. If I get some time I'll sort it out, but I don't know the facts for it... 194.193.78.109 12:47, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

message: It's always been a pet peeve of mine when someone writes about a fictional or event-related thing (like a roller coaster ride) in the tense of 'This would happen' or 'You would feel this', rather than the easier-to-read 'This happens' or 'You feel this'. I made a similar comment on the Dead Rising video game article. Because there are multiple plotlines to the game, someone summarized each alternate ending with the tense of 'This character would do this if you would go here', and it makes the article unreadable, at least for me. So if somebody could fix that here, because I'm too lazy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.101.20.60 (talk) 07:32, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The tense 

message: From 1975-1989 the 26 respective ride vehicles for each respective track consisted of two vehicles joined together, with the layout of each respective vehicle divided in half, with two actual seats, but would fit four passengers due to two of the four passengers having to place themselves directly in front of the other two passengers, who were comfortably sitting on an actual seat, unlike the other two passengers, who were at the mercy of the other passengers' legs and lap. Passengers were placed single file (one passenger behind the other).
What is this saying exactly? I really cannot, for the life of me, figure it out. Is it saying that people used to sit two people to a seat? Someone was forced to sit in someone's lap? Or that someone tried to squish in front of the other? This needs to be cleaned up really badly because it seems extremely roundabout as it is now and rather incoherent. It reminds me of a little kid babbling with a friend. I would do it myself, but I have no idea what it's saying to figure out how to change it. --pIrish 01:51, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Extant Space Mountain into
* Space Mountain (Walt Disney World)
* Space Mountain (Disneyland, Anaheim)
* Space Mountain (Tokyo Disneyland)
* Space Mountain (Disneyland, Paris)
* Space Mountain (Hong Kong Disneyland),
* and move this page to Space Mountain (disambiguation).
I'm not sure about the names, but the sections are long enough to each have their own articles. The What links here list isn't that bad, and I'd be willing to go dab them all. ALTON .ıl 01:27, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a licensed Space Mountain in Bangkok, Thailand. I have ridden it and it seems to be identical to the one in Orlando. It is called Space Mountain, and next to the exit area is a wall plaque stating that the ride is an officially licensed ride of Disney. It is shown and mentioned on the website for the park, called Dream World. I think the site is www.dreamworld.co.th but that may not be accurate. Just type in Dream World in a search, go to the site, then click on the English tab. The ride is as fun as the USA ones, but is not popular. I always walked in with no waiting and could ride it as many times as I wanted.

replies: text: I followed some of the items you suggested, along with checking some research of my own. According to RCDB, Dreamworld's Space Mountain is a Vekoma MK-900, and appears to be similar to a couple of other roller coasters (including one at Germany's Phantasialand), but not any of the Disney Space Mountain attractions. The English website was severely lacking in information, and even following the Thai version's links (based on their English equivalents) didn't reveal any suggestion that Disney licensed this version. So, pending any sort of picture of said plaque, or some other form of verifiable proof (I looked at three trip reports on theme park fan-sites that had lots of photos, but nobody mentioned it, including one reviewer that went on continually about the park being a Disneyland rip-off), any proposed Thailand Space Mountain article should avoid mentioning any connection to Disney, lest it be undone rather quickly.  --McDoobAU93 (talk) 22:55, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  another Space Mountain in Thailand 

message: That description fits several log flume rides of the 1970s-80s. One rider sat in a real 'seat' and a second one would sit on the floor between the legs of the first rider. This is safe on slow rides but would be very dangerous on fast rides, esp. ones like Space Mtn. I doubt this type of seating was ever used on this ride. I rode the one at Six Flags, Houston and at Opryland, Nashville, and on both I sat on the floor while my wife had the upper seat. Bob S66.35.167.106 (talk) 18:54, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Space Mountain Florida and Disneyland's Matterhorn Bobsleds share the same basic seating pattern--a bench seat with a single seat belt where the front rider sits between the legs of the rear rider, with both using the same seat belt. Each compartment would hold two riders, which would indeed be unlike most log flumes back in the period you mention, which did have single benches for the entire log. Nowadays, many of those have been retrofitted with at least one backrest (usually in the middle of the log), or even one for each rider, such as on Disneyland's Splash Mountain or Islands of Adventure's Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls.  --McDoobAU93 (talk) 22:55, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  ambiguous sentence about seating 

message: I have rewritten this page so it is a "broad-concept" article per WP:DABCONCEPT. All five Space Mountain rides share a common history and origins, and similar designs. Therefore, it should not necessarily be an ordinary disambiguation list, with all the different related-Wikipedia policies and guidelines that go with WP:MOSDAB and so forth. Cheers.

message: A holiday overlay doesn't need its own page, it is not noteworthy on its own as its only a short seasonal overly, the attraction itself is the same, and there are no sources on this page. I get that the WP:DISNEY community loves making pages for everything, but some things simply don't need their own pages. I also think that Space Mountain should just be one page and not complete separate articles for each location (see: Splash Mountain and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin), but that's a discussion for another day.
:Support – I agree that this should be merged with Space Mountain. -- Toughpigs (talk) 18:22, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Weak Oppose I am a firm believer that theming for Disney rides should be listed as separate sections under their respective ride's page to reduce clutter and promote full appreciation of the ride's thematic elements on that ride's page directly. However, the community needs to come to a stronger consensus on this before proceeding. Currently, many rides have separate pages for holiday themes. See: Country Bear Christmas Special, Haunted Mansion Holiday. ClaudeDavid (talk) 17:59, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

text: Support – A standalone article is not needed unless significant coverage in reliable sources warrants it. Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy doesn't qualify and should be merged into a section of the Space Mountain article. It can and should be condensed down into one paragraph or less. There is only one source cited in the Ghost Galaxy article. A quick search reveals a few good sources that can be added (which you can see here and here), but they are more passing mentions and announcements that don't delve into too much detail. It's briefly described as a Halloween overlay covering a few details in 1-2 sentences depending on the source. Adding sources like this would not significantly expand the article beyond stub status. At this time, there's no reason to fork this over into a separate article. --GoneIn60 (talk) 17:33, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
