[[File:WDW SpaceMountain LightsOn.jpg|right|thumb|[[Space Mountain (Magic Kingdom)|Space Mountain]] is one of the most well-known enclosed roller coasters. Under normal operation, riders are immersed in almost complete darkness.]]
An '''enclosed roller coaster''' is a [[roller coaster]] built inside a structure intended solely for the ride. This structure often imparts a theme or houses special effects. In contrast, an [[indoor roller coaster]] is built inside a structure unrelated to the ride.
