    Space Mountain With The Lights On Is Scarier Than In The Dark

    But for different reasons.

    It's a universal consensus that Space Mountain is the absolute most terrifying ride at Disney.*

    Because it's not just a roller coaster, it's a roller coaster IN THE DARK!

    Which makes for a boring Vine (sorry), but a shit scary ride.

    The only time the lights are on is when the roller coaster car ca-chunk-ca-chunks its way to the top of the track and you're simultaneously dying of anticipation.

    And then BOOM! You zoom through pitch-black space without knowing what twists, turns, or drops are about to happen to your unsuspecting body.

    Could it be possible you've actually been transported to SPACE?

    Or another DIMENSION entirely?

    Unfortunately, no. You're just on a janky ass wooden roller coaster that looks like it hasn't been serviced in years.

    Is that why they play the space music so loud? So you won't hear the car rattling off the tracks?

    Seriously, what is this bootleg garbáge?

    I mean I guess this looks like space...if space is a 1980s parking garage.

    This is the reaction of most people when they realize how terrifying the *real* Space Mountain is:

    Can never...

    ...unsee.
