Rumors suggest that Space Mountain at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom could be undergoing a significant overhaul. Sources indicate plans for a complete retrack of the attraction, similar to ongoing work on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The project might also include updates to queues and load stations, potentially replacing current ride vehicles with side-by-side seating. While Disney has not confirmed these plans, the scope suggests one of the largest projects in the attraction’s fifty-year history. If true, construction could begin in late 2026 or early 2027, keeping the ride closed for nearly two years. This rumored refurbishment would occur alongside other major changes to Tomorrowland and Magic Kingdom. Until an official announcement is made, these plans remain in the rumor phase.
