Fans of the ride can look forward to a refreshed and revitalized Space Mountain experience once the refurbishment is complete. The closure period presents an opportunity for Imagineers at Walt Disney Imagineering to innovate and improve upon the ride’s existing features, possibly introducing new elements that will enhance the overall ride experience.

While refurbishments are undoubtedly necessary, they can also be a huge bummer for fans looking to make the most of their Disney theme park vacation. Thankfully, we now know that after an extensive month-long closure, Space Mountain at Disneyland Park is set to emerge from its refurbishment on September 6.

This news was revealed on the Disneyland Resort’s calendar earlier today. With its reopening scheduled for September 6, visitors to Disneyland Park can look forward to embarking on a space-themed adventure like never before, immersing themselves in the futuristic atmosphere and exhilarating twists and turns that make Space Mountain a timeless favorite.
