Last week, we reported that Indiana Jones Adventure, Splash Mountain, and Pirates of the Caribbean are experiencing “blatant issues.” Now, another Guest claims to have had an odd experience on board Space Mountain at Disneyland Park.

u/jeffster10 on Reddit rode Space Mountain last week in silence – without the ride’s iconic soundtrack. “Honestly the ride seemed scary with the clanks and thuds sounds around you,” they wrote.
According to u/toosauccyy, this is a recurring issue with Space Mountain:
This happened years ago when I rode it and, from your report, it seems that it happened recently
They been having issues with the audio on some of the rockets. A few years ago during the second lift hill, the audio of “power level at maximum…launching launch coordinates” didn’t play for me on multiple occasions.
Sadly age seems to be showing. I believe the last major reburb was 2003, when this new soundtrack was introduced. So this version of the ride is now a few decades old and showing its age.
Definitely inform a cast members so they can put that rocket into maintenance
Another Guest, u/OrangePopc0rn, said they experienced similar and were allowed to ride again.
