Space Mountain was closed over the weekend as California state regulators raised concerns on employee safety.
Disneyland was forced to voluntarily shutdown its famous roller coaster ride after receiving citations on Friday, April 12, 2013.
The theme park also suspended operations of Matterhorn Bobsleds and Soarin' Over California while it conducts its own review of employee safety protocols.
California Division of Occupational Safety and Health issued the citations on Disneyland due to a November incident. A worker was reportedly injured while conducting a maintenance of the Space Mountain exterior.
In a statement issued by Disneyland Resorts spokeswoman Suzi Brown, she explained that the company, "constantly strive to maintain a safe work environment for our cast members and contractors — and we are reviewing certain protocols."
The citations indicated that "Disneyland Resort failed to have approved anchorages or approved tie-backs for contract employees to attach to when performing scheduled exterior building maintenance."
Matterhorn reopened on Sunday but the other two rides remained closed indefinitely.
