The old Space Mountain at Tokyo Disneyland has been mostly dismantled as a new version of the attraction is constructed.

Space Mountain Demolition & Construction

When we last reported on construction, the tallest spires of the old Space Mountain had been removed. Now most of the exterior is gone, giving a clear look inside what remains of the attraction. We can see work from the Monorail.

No roller-coaster tracks are visible in the former Space Mountain building, indicating most (if not all) of the actual ride is gone. Most of the remaining white paneling faces the rest of the park, so guests don’t have to see too much construction while enjoying Tomorrowland. Another strip of white is on the back of the building.

There’s scaffolding at the bottom of the building and on the central support structure. Thin scrims cover parts of the scaffolding. We didn’t see any crew members working on the old Space Mountain during our trip.

Space Mountain closed permanently in July. It was an opening day Tokyo Disneyland attraction in 1983. It was originally based on the Disneyland version of Space Mountain but was later updated to be more like the Magic Kingdom version.

The new Space Mountain is scheduled to open in 2027. The framework of the new show building appears mostly complete, with the conical shape now clear. The first piece of track arrived in the spring but the coaster is now almost completely blocked from view by the building and scaffolding.

Workers stand on a steel structure with a suspended load overhead against a cloudy sky backdrop.

Some crew members were on the top of the structure as a crane lowered something. No exterior paneling has been installed on the show building yet.

Some track can be glimpsed through the framework. The new ride is rumored to be named Space Mountain Earthrise.

There are tiers of the curving structure. Below is concept art of the new show building and a new Tomorrowland courtyard planned for the former Space Mountain’s space.

The futuristic theme park, reminiscent of Tokyo Disneyland's Space Mountain, features a spaceship-like building, vibrant landscaping, and a circular fountain while visitors leisurely stroll around the area.

The Oriental Land Company is spending approximately ¥56 billion ($437 million) on the new Space Mountain.
