Space Mountain (Disneyland) - Hong Kong Disneyland

Hong Kong Disneyland

Space Mountain at Hong Kong Disneyland is the fifth version of the ride opened on 12 September 2005. It is based on the refurbished Space Mountain at Disneyland, with a similar soundtrack and same layout. It also features new show elements not presented in the refurbished California version (id est a "hyperspeed" tunnel). It will not feature the Rockin' Space Mountain configuration that was featured in Disneyland's Space Mountain in 2007. Unlike most Space Mountains, the boarding area for the attraction is quite small. Not present is a Space Station of its two most similar counterparts at Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland. Instead, a dark queue featuring neon earth-tone colored planets along with star patterns decorate the area. Lining the walls of the station are colored neon light bars that are used for lighting and decoration. It is the only Space Mountain to feature single-rider alongside its regular standby and FASTPASS lines.

As part of Hong Kong Disneyland's Haunted Halloween event in 2007, it went under a Halloween overlay, similar to Disneyland's Rockin' Space Mountain overlay. The new overlay appiled some of the same effects that Rockin' Space Mountain used, but instead of a rock 'n' roll concert, the ride was themed appropriately to the Halloween season. A new soundtrack was used as well for the overlay. It received a Ghost Galaxy overlay during the Halloween season in 2009.
