Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain will close at Disneyland Paris at the end of 2027 for a refurbishment lasting several months. It will return as Space Mountain – De la Terre à la Lune, with a new journey to the Moon inspired by Jules Verne.
Disney hasn’t announced the exact closing day or a reopening date. The work will last several months, so it’s too early to plan a 2028 visit around the ride.
The Star Wars version is staying until the end of 2027
The Paris attraction looks different from the Space Mountains at other Disney parks. Its large dome and Columbiad cannon were built for the original 1995 story, in which the cannon launched travellers from Earth towards the Moon.
The ride became Space Mountain: Mission 2 in 2005 and Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain in 2017. The dome and cannon remained, while the story inside changed to a Rebel Alliance mission.
The original music and a new Moon story are coming
The new version will once again use the De la Terre à la Lune name and the Jules Verne idea behind the first attraction. Steve Bramson’s original music will return in a newly remastered form.
Disney is also redesigning the queue so that guests can watch the roller-coaster trains moving before they board. The indoor sets and props will be updated, with new scenic details and effects. Extra effects will strengthen the launch from the Columbiad cannon.
This is not a scene-by-scene reconstruction of the 1995 ride. The story will now be set during an imagined period of the first journeys to the Moon, with older elements used alongside new scenes and technology.
