A Mountain of Truth

If you have ever ventured into Tomorrowland then you have seen Space Mountain. This ride has been taking guest on a fun, fast paced trip through space for years. As long as people have been riding through space there has been a controversy on the two tracks. Are they similar? Are they different? I am here to set it all straight.
Space Mountain has two tracks, Alpha and Omega. For years people have asked the question if these tracks are alike. These tracks ARE ALIKE! They are mirror opposites. If one goes left the other goes right. I am a huge fan of this ride and I know there are more out there and I want to meet you and take a ride through space with you! I hope this info was interesting to hear and maybe everyone will learn the truth behind the mountain. Have a Magical Day everyone!

Alpha is ten feet longer than Omega! Someone I know taught me that! I just don’t know where that 10 feet is because they do look EXACTLY alike!
Track B is actually shorter by about 10 feet. It’s somewhere behind the lower lift, so it’s not any place where passengers would ever be. That side is built differently, and the trains barely fit on the lower lift. i.e., no room for a passenger. I don’t know why it’s like that.

You are correct! I tried not to put that in there as a fear of confusing people with numbers. I am a Space Mountain CM!!
