Covering all iterations of the attraction, the book starts with the story of the Matterhorn and how Walt Disney’s ideas started flowing for an indoor space-themed roller coaster. That idea eventually led to Space Mountain, first introduced at Walt Disney World and repeated with modifications at Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland before debuting at Disneyland Paris.
The book also briefly touches on the evolution of Discovery Bay and how that idea evolved into Discoveryland at Disneyland Paris park. The only Space Mountain attraction at a Disney park with a rocket launch and more thrilling turns. Inspired by Jules Verne’s From the Earth to the Moon, which became the storyline of the first iteration of the attraction. Walt Disney Imagineering has since made two modifications to the experience, all chronicled within these pages: “Mission 2” and most recently, “Hyperspace Mountain.”
Full of high quality images, a mix of concept art, construction photos, and images from the park, each page is worth lingering to take it all in. By the epilogue, you’ll feel like you were a fly on the wall at Walt Disney Imagineering throughout the development of all iterations of Disneyland Paris’ Space Mountain. It’s as deep of a dive as you could ever want on a single attraction.
Following the success of two previous collectible books about Disneyland Paris attractions, Space Mountain : De La Terre Aux Étoiles – From the Earth to the Stars gives readers a deeper understanding and appreciation for the creativity and craftsmanship required to create a classic attraction. Published by InsidEars, you’ll only find it for sale at the Disneyland Paris resort.
