Disneyland Paris is one of the best known theme parks in Europe. Its offerings
are for young and old. Who wouldn't like to make a ride to the moon at Space
Mountain or live the adventures of Peter Pan? You can experience the Temple of
Peril backwards with Indiana Jones, or visit the central castle and learn all
about the wonders it contains.
Besides the huge range of attractions, the land where magic comes to life offers
several interesting shows. In 2002 the park will be accompanied by its little
brother: Disney Studios.

Space Mountain - from the Earth to the Moon
Space Mountain is not just an Indoor Coaster. This is
adventure, like you've never experienced adventure before. Just queueing is
incredible to watch the trains inside.
The ride itself
The train is getting moved to the lift hill. There is a lot of smoke, you hardly
can see anything, and all of a sudden you get launched into space.
Your space travel is one with inversions, and turns, passing by planets. The
inversions you are passing by is a diving loop, a horseshoe element (some people
do not see this as an inversion), and you also get thrown through a corkscrew.
Fastpass is working really well at Space Mountain, but be aware you miss out the
queueing-theming. It took us 7 minutes to get it, and 10 minutes waiting before
we could get 'on board' of Space Mountain.
For the people who doesn't like to experience these g-forces, try the seperate
walk-through, to enjoy Space Mountain from another side!
