Well the only Disney Park I know that has made a roller coaster go backwards is the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril coaster in Disneyland Paris. I hope that one day Disneyland will do another Rock'n' Space Mountain stint during spring break or summer only this time the only change will be the ride goes backwards. Is the Space Mountain here capable of even going backwards?

I really enjoy this ride as it is, It's fun to feel like you're flying through space instead of hurtling, if you get me drift. I don't mind going backwards if it's for a short time and part of the ride, but the whole ride would feel silly (don't know where I"m going, just where I've been)."It was worth it if you learned something."

It would be possible although it would probably require trains with head supports as well as testing and additional safety checks etc. Great idea, would be very very cool! Backwards rides are very very fun! It would be a fantastic feature but I highly doubt the park would pay for new trains/testing etc.

That ride is so disorienting I swear I was going backwards at some points. The first time I rode it (old version) I thought we were going straight down at one point. But it was the braking track in the exit tunnel :lol: I was messed up. Space Mountain was also the VERY FIRST roller coaster I ever rode. What an introduction.
While I think it would be possible to put backward facing seats on that track, I'm not sure if it would add to the show. It's designed to be looked at frontwards.Disney FAQ#275: What is DCA?
DCA stands for Disney Construction Area. All the Cast Members are themed with hard hats and steel toed boots.

I don't think Space Mountain will ever change in such a dramatic way.
I think Disney would have to build a brand-new coaster that would be designed with this in mind. I do think that if there is ever a new, major coaster built in DLR, it would benefit from being uncommonly designed.
