Originally Posted By FerretAfros Nope. "Space Mountain does not involve water effects, so is the odd one out." Closest one yet!
Originally Posted By monorailblue Well, gee whiz! I'm going to have to think about this for a while . . . . But not for too long. Gadget's has no sound effects but the others do. Gadget's has no indoor areas at all except for the loading area, but the other do. But Space has no animals along the track, but the others do (if you count Harold as an animal).
Originally Posted By monorailblue Um, OK, Space is the only one that doesn't have exterior water features?
Originally Posted By monorailblue Ummm, well Matterhorn and Thunder have "splash down" finales, though the Thunder one is now fake, but Gadget's doesn't--it has frogs spitting on you. So I don't know what about the water could be more similar than I've already described it. Someone else please figure this out for us.

I'll make one final guess: Space Mountain is not like the others because it is staged in an interior show space recreating the far reaches of outer space. The others, on the other hand, are all set on terra firma and staged, at least in large part, out doors.
