Space Mountain: Mission 2

The story
The Columbiad Cannon has been recalibrated and shoots now further than the moon! Climb aboard a Space Train and discover the edges of the universe.

The attraction
Space Mountain: Mission 2 is a "sequel" to the popular "Space Mountain de la terre à la lune". The exterior of the building was completely refurbished in 2005 and brand new special effects including projections and smoke, were added inside the Mountain. The Moon Trains were re-named to Space Train and received a new colour scheme.

Fun facts
» One of the possible names for the sequel was "Space Mountain: Supernova".
» It's being said that the face of the Moon from the first version of the attraction can be seen on one of the asteroids at the beginning of the attraction.
» The launch from the cannon is different from its precedor as it now happens at the bottom of the cannon, instead of half way.
» Space phenomenons that can be witnessed along the ride include: astroids, comets, whirlpools, a supernova and a wormhole.
» The "Electro-De-Velocitor" at the end of the track was one of the few elements that was kept from the first version.
