Space Mountain: Ghost Galaxy

A few friends and I, went to Disneyland on Monday night. We were super excited about it being Halloween Time. There are new fireworks, of course the haunted mansion turns into The Nightmare Before Christmas, and now, Space Mountain become Ghost Galaxy.

We planned on first hitting Haunted Mansion, then Pirates, watching the fireworks, then getting in line for Space Mountain as people were leaving when the fireworks ended. (Scheming at Disneyland sounds silly, but its extremely necessary, dont judge me)

When I heard about Space Mountain, I thought it would be the "Disney" version of scary, which as we all know, is never over the top frightening. We waited in line with much anticipation as to what we would experience on this ride. Would it be super cheesy like the time they had Red Hot Chili Peppers music and dancing people on the walls? We had NO idea what we were about to experience (although, there were signs that sad "this ride may be frightening for children"). As we came closer to the ride, we saw people getting off with the strangest look on their face. I wasnt sure if they were excited and couldnt wait to ride it again, or absolutely frantic to get off! Needless to say, I started to get nervous.

It was finally our turn to get on the ride. I was all strapped in, ready to go. The car started up the ramp and it was PITCH BLACK. Instant panic. This is going to be scarier than I thought. This weird ghost man came out and followed your car the entire ride! I screamed like a little girl the whole time! I'm not sure I've ever been so terrified at Disneyland! We got off and saw our picture, I had sheer terror in my eyes!

I still cant decide if I love it or hate it. But I definitely think it's far too scary to be at Disneyland!
