The original version of the theme was composed by Dick Dale for the opening of the first Space Mountain ride at Disneyland in 1977.

The music for the ride is typically a fast-paced, high-energy instrumental piece that is designed to evoke a sense of adventure and excitement. The theme is often played in the queue area and on the ride itself, and it has become one of the most iconic and recognizable pieces of music associated with the Disney theme parks.

Over the years, the “Space Mountain Theme” has been re-recorded and re-arranged for different versions of the ride at Disney parks around the world. While the basic structure and melody of the theme have remained consistent, different versions may feature variations in tempo, instrumentation, and overall sound. However, regardless of the specific version, the “Space Mountain Theme” remains a beloved and integral part of the Space Mountain experience for many Disney fans.
