That was the case for Jada (@iamjadaslayy), who was riding Space Mountain at Disneyland Park when it broke down. The Guest was stuck at the top of a hill when the lights suddenly came on in the dark attraction building, and a voiceover told all Guests to remain in their ride vehicles. Jada shared this video of the “rad experience:”
@iamjadaslayy It was a pretty rad experience 🎢🏰 #disneyland #ridemalfunction #lightson #spacemountain #spacemountainlightson
“You wouldn’t believe it, guys. We are stuck,” Jada says in the video. Eventually, Disney Cast Members manually pushed the rocket down the hill, and the Guests onboard enjoyed the rest of the ride with the lights on.

“This is pretty sweet, guys,” Jada exclaims in the video. Despite the breakdown, Space Mountain’s cameras still took a photo of the happy Guests.
Thankfully, this was a positive experience for Jada, and no one was injured. Space Mountain at Disneyland Park is operating normally at the time of this article’s publication.
