Musical Score |
For Space Mountain's 10th anniversary in 2005, it was renovated featuring a new story, new effects and a new soundtrack. The trains were redone in metallic silver. The overall Verne / Orwell theme in Discoveryland along with the Canon Columbiad Space Mountain building stayed the same. |
For the park's 25th Anniversary in 2017, the trains were replaced with new style Vekoma trains. |
"De la terre à la lune" is French for "from the Earth to the Moon". |
Prior to 2017, the theme was based on Jules Verne's "A Voyage to the Moon and a Trip Around It". In the story, the astronauts are launched from Earth by a giant canon. |
The 2017 renovations changed the theme to one with a Star Wars based story. |
