This almost made me cry... Space Mountain the way it should have stayed... Okay, some of the updated effects on Mission 2 were an improvement, but i miss the moon and most important: the fantastic soundtrack.
Totally lame. 7 1/2 minutes of messing around, and then a minute on the actual ride, consisting of mostly darkness, with a few flashes of light and a moon face.
Went on this when I was 10 in the early 90's. Amazing. I loved how the music lined up with the ride right down to where it brakes at the end. Back when Napster was around, I was able to download the music to this ride.... still have it and still listen to this day driving in my car mimicking the movements of the ride while I drive.. where possible. Great memory of Eurodisney.
I am a huge fan of Jules Verne and I am very disappointed that I missed this version of Space Mountain. By the time I finally got to DLP in 2008 (and again in 2013), it was Mission 2, which is fine as Space Mountains go, but wasn't any different from the Space Mountains in the USA or Japan. It lost its character and became a ride that's really great to look at. Everything really charming about it is now on the outside.
Actually, this isn't based on the Jules Verne novel From the Earth to the Moon. It is actually based on George Lumiere's A Trip to the Moon, which was a short from 1916.
"Voyage dans la Lune" was made by Georges Melies and released in 1902. The short film was itself inspired by Verne's book "De la Terre à la Lune", Jacques Offenbach's operetta "Voyage dans la Lune", and H.G. Wells' novel "The First Men in the Moon." Yes, Space Mountain: De la Terre à la Lune took most of its aesthetic inspiration from the Melies film and further developed it, but the film and the book are so conflated in people's minds by now that they can be spoken of in the same breath. The ride's name even came from the book, even though in the book the capsule is only launched in the final chapters. Most of Verne's novel is a satire of American culture.
I prefer this version of Space Mountain over the present day one. The Steampunk aesthetic was just awesome. :) Copper, brass and rivets everywhere^^ And that awesome orchestral music :D
The attractions sub title was 'From Earth to the Moon' after the Jules Verne novel and just like in the book, the astronauts are shot out of a cannon. An interesting fact: the location the astronauts were launced from in the book is very close to where WDW was built.
OMG I have suuuuuuuuch great memories about this ride. This was absolute perfection. The music, the atmosphere, the effects, the story, (pleaaaaaase read from the earth to the moon from Jules Verne) it all worked so perfectly toghetter. They fucked up a great coaster with mission 2. And now I fear the worst when they will put a poor 3 months of work to "transform" it into a star wars attraction? Where is the fantasy gone?
Dimitri Dehouck agreed. This was one the best. To be perfectly honest mission 2 was decent but lacked the beauty. Hyperspace mountain just makes me want to jump off a bridge.
Totally lame. 7 1/2 minutes of messing around, and then a minute on the actual ride, consisting of mostly darkness, with a few flashes of light and a moon face. It needs a makeover, badly. Why not look at rides you can see, and last longer like Mystic manor- Hong Kong, or Avatar Flight of Passage, Disney World, or Shanghai Pirates of Caribbean.
The ride was based on a French novel that was set in the U.S.. Viewed from one direction the flags are blue, white and red, the French flag. Viewed from the other direction, they are red, white and Blue, the American flag colors. I thought the flags were very clever, myself.
It's been many, many years since I went to Disneyland Paris, but the memories are still there :-) Thanks for uploading - you've brought back some happy times!
I love the music. I love the ride. What a thrill!! I went to Disneyland 4 times when I was 12 and 14. Next year my boyfriend and I will be going to Disney World in FL to celebrate my recent news being cancer free. This means the world to me to be going to Disney, I really can't wait. I wish I was going NOW! I hope the Space Mountain in Disney World is just as excellent. :)
I love all Space Mountains but Euro Disney is the best. Love the industrial revolution art style inspired from Jules Verne including his famous cannon launch style. The other space mountains have a cold futuristic feel like Star Trek, which is fine, but Euro Disney Space mountain truly is grounded in a flight of fantasy.
Wow, what a uniquly wonderful ride it's a shame we will never get it back. I wish that Disney was still more concerned about storytelling in the parks rather than forcing every ride to have a movie attached to it.
intersting new approach for the ride. I see it went less for the typical sci-fi theme and went more for that old silent movie about men going to the moon. Very clever.
This reminds me of when I was in Disneyland Paris with my Mom xD We went into Space Mountain and... aww, it was so~oo cool ^.^ You can't imagine just from seeing this vid. But it's great that you filmed and put it online here, because now I can refresh this memory every now and then. Thanks so much
mission 2 you cannot beat it, the original was in a class of its own, and the big moon smilling was just amazing, but mission two is sooo intense and the videos and graphics inside are out of this world
Funny to look at the old one. I did it something like 15 times, however, i think i prefer the new one, for once you can almost believe it. I don't see why people miss the old one so much.
I went to Mission 2 for the first time last week. I noticed something was missing, as well as many other things, like: The great queue part The man in the moon The great giant blue thing that the ride runs through at 7:58 And the old one is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better, as well as the one at DL.
When I went on it ; half way through (after the launch) the full ride stopped. I crapped myself and it stopped for almost 3 minutes. Ahhhh! Still loved it though!
I LOVE this ride. and I mean THIS ride, not Mission 2. The original one was just amazing and could easily be one of the best overall attractions in the world (if it wasnt for the roughness). It gives me the chills everytime I think about it and It literally almost makes me cry to know its gone.

i was there a few months ago and loved it =D queue was a bit too long, bashed my head a bit, almost lost my bag when it went upside down...but i loved it hehehe
@jonathansaab It is in total darkness, you can't see the tracks of the rollercoaster, all you see is a lighted up "comet" thing, and you go at it with incredible speed, and the last moment before you hit it you just go all around it in all directions... and then another one, and another one..... I was 10 when i went, i still remember it no 15 years later as if it was yesterday, the most amazing rollercoaster EVER!!!
OMG you're the man. I miss the old days with the orginale Space mountain. Space mountain mission 2 is not that great as I expected; bad music onboard and a very uncomfertable ride. The surrounding in the ride are improved though, but not in the queue. Don't you agree?
the actual storyline is: you're blasted from too low in the cannon (thats why all the red lights in the beginning) you're shot too hard, go past the moon too the edge of the universe.
@daveindorset actually, there is music in space mountain mission 2, but the speakers on the trains were changed with some high tech new speakers, the only problem with this new speakers that they are very sensitive, and they can't stand to the constant vibration of the car! sometimes they work a lot of times they play the music with low volume sometimes they don't work.
@Lightrocker100 noth rides have the tube. the only differences is that in space mountain mission 2, u don't see the moon and u don't go through a color tunnel. In mission 2. u see a a supernova and u go throught a red laser tunnel.
I am so mad that I missed this ride. When I was 8 I wanted to go on, I was perfect height at the front, but when I got the the door and they checked me with their stick thingy, didn't making. Gosh I missed out.
@disneygirly22 perhaps in Hollywood Studios in Disney World in place of Aerosmith coaster. And they could go with the original name: Discovery Mountain! :)
But the cars for Mission 2 bring the coaster closer to the Jules Verne novel, because in "From the Earth to the Moon", the bullets that were shot into space were in a silver color, and because the rockets were repainted to be in a silver color, WDI decided to get rid of the section of the queue where you look into the mountain. When the rocket were in a gold and bronze color, the cars were easily viewable from the queue.
That thing looks amazing, the design reminds me of Melies. In the first shot, is that the Nautilus sitting in the water? It looks like it doesn't it? I wish the Space Mountain in Orange County looked this cool...
Oh, I tried it and it's fast and yeah if you didn't know there's rock music while you are on the ride! with colorful lights and stuff. Well, it's great that u will coz it's a great roller coaster! :) .
Wow. When I rode it, there was no one in line, so they didn't make me get out and I rode it again straight away. I had to get out after that but just ran through the queue (still no one in it) and rode a third time. I was a bit ill after that but it was awesome. Almost too bad there are lines now :)
That's great that your going to Disney world and really great that you're cancer free . Space mountain in Disney world is a little older and similar to the one in Disneyland but still fun you'll enjoy it
I've been to the Space Mountian at WDW Orlando many times, but I love the design of this Space Mountian, it's patterned after Jules Vern's "Earth to the Moon right?" Thanks for showing all the suff up to the ride Very cool!
Hey everyone. It has been confirmed that the moon is coming back may 31, 2015 for the anniversary! It'll feature the old soundtrack with more up to date effects of course. :) I'm so excited to ride it!!!
Mission 2 seems to be too much like the Space Mountains in Anaheim and Orlando. Though I still think the Paris Space Mountain is the best. You can hear portions of the original Disneyland Paris Space Mountain soundtrack at Innoventions at Disneyland in Anaheim.
I went there. People who didn't please don't go because you will really feel sorry for what you have done. It is way too scary. It goes upside-down and suddenly turns left or right and it goes soooo fast you can't breathe! I couldn't even lift my head up because of the speed!
I've actually riden both this one and the original one in the Magic Kingdom and I like both the same even though the one in Disneyland Paris goes upside down
HA i remember going on this when i was 10 or something. I had to go in on my own! cos my dad wimped out :P worst thing about these things is all the screaming you hear if its your first time, it gets you thinking ;)
god I miss disneyland paris. I have to say this space mountain is the best. The worst is definately Hong Kong. I literally could stand and not even feel anything.
Waiting in line is the worst part. I don't know if those screams you hear were real, but the ride its self isn't too bad. Mainly because you cant see what's coming...

Have you ever went to SMDLTAL ? I think not...
This was the first upside down ride I ever went on...you don't really feel it. It's fantastic

WAit.. SMOKE? You guys had smoke when the blast happened!? OMG WHY DON'T WE HAVE THAT NOW!
There's still smoke but it only happens sometimes unfortunately.
intersting new approach for the ride. I see it went less for the typical sci-fi theme and went more for that old silent movie about men going to the moon. Very clever.

This year we were going to disneyland resort paris,IT WAS THE BEST HOLIDAY EVER!!!.
This reminds me of when I was in Disneyland Paris with my Mom xD We went into Space Mountain and... aww, it was so~oo cool ^.^ You can't imagine just from seeing this vid. But it's great that you filmed and put it online here, because now I can refresh this memory every now and then. Thanks so much
wow that cast member did an amazing job of checking those restraints...
mission 2 you cannot beat it, the original was in a class of its own, and the big moon smilling was just amazing, but mission two is sooo intense and the videos and graphics inside are out of this world
Please internet, educate all new people to this world about this one of a kind masterpiece.
Good idea.
Funny to look at the old one. I did it something like 15 times, however, i think i prefer the new one, for once you can almost believe it. I don't see why people miss the old one so much.
I went to Mission 2 for the first time last week. I noticed something was missing, as well as many other things, like:
The great queue part
The man in the moon
The great giant blue thing that the ride runs through at 7:58
And the old one is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better, as well as the one at DL.
The scariest part was walking through all the stuff and seeing people on the rollercoaster
I was there in 1998! I was 10 and It was one of the funniest experiences in my life!!!
don't worry, i go on space mountain in disney world no less than 8 times in one day! i love it there and it is my favorite ride!
I was 8 when i went on this. Scared the absolute sh*t out of me! lol, now I wish it was still this one!
This is the great footage i ever ever seen !!!! dream and magical !
When I went on it ; half way through (after the launch) the full ride stopped. I crapped myself and it stopped for almost 3 minutes. Ahhhh! Still loved it though!
2:50 first video I heard the beautiful music of the queue
great video. it brought me several memories when me and my family where there at the 2006 summer holidays. thanks for sharing this experience with us.
I LOVE this ride. and I mean THIS ride, not Mission 2. The original one was just amazing and could easily be one of the best overall attractions in the world (if it wasnt for the roughness). It gives me the chills everytime I think about it and It literally almost makes me cry to know its gone.

mission 1 was shocking...a roller coaster needs loops!!! and mission 2 has 'em! :D

that was the best ride ever when i was 12 years old i was whole the day only in that thing its was so beautiful (A)
it's like riding a racket to the space...very excited !
I just road mission 2 and it was by far my favorite rollercoaster at the Disneyland Paris. :)
Oh the memories of my first ride! Thank you for uploading this.

this was my second rollercoaster and it was sooooo fun. it was so fun that me and my friends went on it again
that........WAS A CRAZY RIDE
nostalgie quand tu nous tiens ^^ rien ne vaux la file d'attente de celui la ou l'on on vu sur le ride ^^
Nostalgic moment in my country... T_T Beautiful and amazing aith music , still dream
super, tnx for uploading! I've also been in the Space Mountain, but that was almost 8 years ago, so thank you
I hear about 35 miles an hour, so not fast but I mean it does enough to feel like quite a thrilling ride
this was a great coaster. went on it when i came here. graduation present from my school
@daveindorset actually, there is music in space mountain mission 2, but the speakers on the trains were changed with some high tech new speakers, the only problem with this new speakers that they are very sensitive, and they can't stand to the constant vibration of the car!

I've only experienced Mission 2 and Hyperspace. MEEEHHH I want the original, the music alone :0
Good for you.
cool video! I love the spacemountain, it's the best rollercoaster ever
I've been 2 Dlrp and have been on Space mountain mission 2.loved it!
Cool!! so you love roller coasters??! You should see Rock N' Roller coaster!!! It's so cool!! :D .
Wow, this version seems so modern. Tahnks for sharing.
@disneygirly22 perhaps in Hollywood Studios in Disney World in place of Aerosmith coaster. And they could go with the original name: Discovery Mountain! :)
The one thing I don't like is the outside/ inside tube launch it haults the magic.
omg it was so sickly when you went down on the first bit eeeeek i love it :') xx
The soundtrack reminds me of E.T XD
Nederlanders..... :p jk
Omg, it totally does!!
It's from the movie Krull.

dude i miss this
OH! Cool. I wonder if that Silent movie was based on the book too 'cause this ride looks alot like it
they didn't change the speed, it's just blasted from lower in the cannon, they replaced some effects and the trains
I've only ever been on this one. Never been on mission 2! This rocks first coaster i went on :)

This Ride is so great i tried it 7 times last summer :D
That's great that your going to Disney world and really great that you're cancer free . Space mountain in Disney world is a little older and similar to the one in Disneyland but still fun you'll enjoy it
They rethemed it and renamed the ride to, Space Mountain Mission: 2 since this video was made!
I've been to the Space Mountian at WDW Orlando many times, but I love the design of this Space Mountian, it's patterned after Jules Vern's "Earth to the Moon right?"

Very cool!
The queue is so much better in person!
You get to hear the soundtrack at some parts!
hey, has anyone here been on the disneyland Space Mountain...?? THAT ONE IS SO ROCKIN!!
This is basically treasure planet the ride!!!
Nice parody.
thrilling, yet beautiful, I agree.
omg i wne there like not even 2 weeks ago and space mountain was defo the best ride there
Hey everyone. It has been confirmed that the moon is coming back may 31, 2015 for the anniversary! It'll feature the old soundtrack with more up to date effects of course. :)
I'm so excited to ride it!!!
How do you know it's May 31rst?
That's when the anniversary is for the park. Just a guess
Bad news, I found out it's actually the 24th July!
Nooooooo
Really ? Mission 1 is come back ?
Mission 2 seems to be too much like the Space Mountains in Anaheim and Orlando. Though I still think the Paris Space Mountain is the best. You can hear portions of the original Disneyland Paris Space Mountain soundtrack at Innoventions at Disneyland in Anaheim.
I went there. People who didn't please don't go because you will really feel sorry for what you have done. It is way too scary. It goes upside-down and suddenly turns left or right and it goes soooo fast you can't breathe! I couldn't even lift my head up because of the speed!
Thank you very much! We are both looking forward to it so very much. :)
when i went, was awsome!!
going this christmas again i hope ^^
The screaming in the queue lines is computerised. The screaming goes on a loop. This sounds -exactly- the same screaming and shouting from when i went
can't wait to go back on this in August
I remeber this. I remeber how my head was being knocked around like a football lol. My fault though, I should have kept my head back.
I wasn't big enough to ride this when I was last there.
I've actually riden both this one and the original one in the Magic Kingdom and I like both the same even though the one in Disneyland Paris goes upside down
HA i remember going on this when i was 10 or something. I had to go in on my own! cos my dad wimped out :P worst thing about these things is all the screaming you hear if its your first time, it gets you thinking ;)
that music sounds a little mixup of harry potter and e.t.
god I miss disneyland paris. I have to say this space mountain is the best. The worst is definately Hong Kong. I literally could stand and not even feel anything.
space mountain is the beeest !
i love it !
Waiting in line is the worst part. I don't know if those screams you hear were real, but the ride its self isn't too bad. Mainly because you cant see what's coming...
This is the best ride I was on it a couple of weeks ago must of gone on it about ten times :)
