Space Mountain - Left or Right?

[Hoop Raeb]

I just rode Space Mountain last night and I rode track A and B back to back. Let me just say that I love the ride even though it only goes 28 miles an hour (I still think someone is pulling our leg with that stat). It got me thinking though. I think that I like the track on the right of the queue better. Maybe there's no difference. Does anyone know?

So which do you prefer? How do you decide if given the choice? Sometimes I just pick the shorter line. But given the choice now, I'm going right.

And why is the FastPass line sometimes as long as the standby line? :brick:

When given the choice I usually go left, really only because Raye (Keys to the Kingdom guide) told us that most people when given an option will go right.

Strange little bit of information.

The right track is superior. The left track is extremly rough and rickety and
seems to move slower. Last time I went it was worse then the matterhorn.

I've also noticed that the left track's lift hill breaks down alot.

I always go Left. It goes back to the original E-Ride nights. After riding the left side, we would get off and immediately ride the right side. After about 8 trips on each side, my wife and I felt that the Left has always been better.

Normally I'm a go to the left kind of person (being as I'm left handed and all), but for Space Mtn, I'd have to say I like the right better. I feel like it's a smoother ride over there. But, it's probably all in our heads.

It's miserable either way.

No difference, really. They are mirror images of each other, except for about 10 extra feet where one has to go around the other.

We always go to the right for some reason

 

[DiPSU224]

I always preferred the left side but my husband swears he thinks the right side is better. I learned the "always go left" trick on the Keys to the Kingdom tour too!

 

[metscool]

I always go to the left for some reason. Every time that I have a choice I go to the left then when the CMs tell you where to go they send me to the left. Whats up with that.

Republicans take the right and Democrats take the left?

 

[se8472]

Both!

 

[popsicletrees]

We usually go to the shorter line, but we prefer the left.

 

[Chape19714]

Well the left features a high-speed loop, while the right has a cobra roll.

:lookaroun

I go either way....it doesn't matter to me.

Too funny! I guess I'm a Republican then :wave:

 

[nksteckler]

From now on, I always go left, b/c I've ridden both sides numerous times and think the right side is a lot rougher.

I'm surprised to read that everyone else thinks opposite! Oh well!

 

[NemoRocks78]

They both suck but I think left is better.

 

[VT GAL]

I thought that the left was a little better, because my neck didn't hurt as much as it did after I got off the ride on the right side!

Sounds good to me! Republican it is!

 

[KaliSplash]

We usually end up on the right, perhaps because of all you 'choose left' people!

Don't recall any difference.

 

[PJLukasik]

It's strange, I always go left on most other things, but with Space Mountain it's gotta be the right. Not sure why.
