Space Mountain: Mission 2 reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Space Mountain: Mission 2, a roller coaster in Discoveryland at Disneyland Paris. (The minimum height to ride is 55 inches.)
2005 saw one of Europe's most famous rollercoasters get a complete revamp. Space Mountain: Mission 2 gives the Disneyland classic a kick into the 21st century. This time, you're going further into deep space, for a high-tech adventure to the edge of the universe. Advanced technology gives this high-speed ride even more to look at, and Michael Giacchino, composer for Alias and The Incredibles ensures the accompanying soundtrack is suitable dramatic.
Readers' rating:
Much better than the one in Florida to be honest. 8/10 - D H Eversince it opened back in '95 I've been a huge fan of this ride. Its by far the most extreme ride you can find in any of the Disney parks World wide. I myself am a huge Jules Verne fan, and if you read the book you'd recognise several details from the book. In 2005 this ride was re-opened and at first I was sad that they changed the original storyline of the ride. But hey this is Disney and I needend worry coz the special effects are mindblowing. One down side: I visited in May 2011 and I found the ride to rough sometimes, rougher than I could remember. In the Launch section it comes to a very sudden stop which feels like you hit another car. And during the ride vibrations occur that make the ride uncomfortable and well this is space you expect a smooth ride. But it all still the best one ever and remember .... In space no-one can hear you scream gna gna - Ty Wijnans I loved the "steampunk" design of it all, hearkening back to the old days of science fiction from Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. In my opinion, this is what all of the Tomorrowlands and similar lands in the Disney parks should aspire to. - Barry Wallace The best Space Mountain of the bunch! I absolutely loved it and went on it four or five times. I love the theming of the attraction and the loops in the dark! The designers outdid themselves on this one! Two thumbs way up! - Terry R I was disappointed by this Space. I had high expectations and I love thrill rides but this jerked you around a lot and this wasn't as good as the Amazing Disneyland version or even the nostalgic Disney World one. - Ali Salem Perhaps the best of the roller coasters in Disneyland. You start by being pulled up the main slope, then you suddenly stop before whoosh you shoot off up to the top of the ride. You appear to be flying through space, warping past stars and planets, etc. (this has the drawback of you not being able to see the outside though). Definitely recommended. - Colm de Cleir More attraction and restaurant ratings:
