| Space Mountain: Mission 2 at Disneyland Paris was originally called Space Mountain: De La Terre A La Lune. (From the Earth to the Moon). Its themeing has been rated as the best in the world, it was originally based on the Jules Verne novel of the same name. Riders are shot into space by a huge Columbiad cannon, (pictured beneath scaffolding during renovation work, May '04) on a journey to the moon. The detailing is second to none, there are many references to the book. This excellent rollercoaster features loops, corkscrews & over - banked turns, whilst travelling at high speed in the dark. Complete with on-board soundtrack, and near misses with several huge meteorites, one you plough through the middle of - I rate this as my #1 coaster, I even got a tattoo!
