  • Space Mountain: Mission 2 was an indoor/outdoor steel roller coaster attraction in Discoveryland at Disneyland Paris themed around a journey into outer space. Originally themed around Jules Verne's classic 1865 novel From the Earth to the Moon, the attraction opened on June 1, 1995, three years after the opening of the park, as an intended revival of interest to draw more guests to the financially unstable European resort. Unlike other Space Mountains found around the world, this version has a steampunk-detailed appearance, with a huge dominating Columbiad Cannon and a plate-and-rivet exterior, in keeping with Discoveryland's retro-futuristic theme and futuristic theme.

  • Space Mountain: Mission 2 (formerly De la terre a la lune) is an enclosed steel roller coaster in Discoveryland at Disneyland Paris. Themed after Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon, the ride opened about three years after the park opened. It is the only Space Mountain worldwide to feature inversions and a section of the ride outside of the mountain (station and cannon). It was the first roller coaster with an on-ride audio track. The ride originally opened in 1995 as Space Mountain: De la Terre a la Lune, which translates into Space Mountain: From the Earth to the Moon. It was designed as a view on space travel from a Verne-era perspective. Space Mountain: De la Terre a la Lune was closed on January 11, 2005 for a major refurbishment. The refurbished attraction reopened on April 9, 2005 as Space Mountain: Mission 2 with a new on-board audio track composed by Michael Giacchino.

It is the only Space Mountain to feature inversions and a section of the ride outside the mountain, that being the station and cannon. The attraction was also the first roller coaster to feature a Synchronized On-Board Audio Track (the first roller coaster to feature non-On-Board audio was Chaos at Opryland USA Themepark). The audio track was written by Steven Bramson and was in keeping with the Victorian theme. The original version of the ride, Space Mountain: De la Terre à la Lune, closed in January 2005 and the theme was changed to Mission 2, planned as a continuation rather than replacement of Verne's classic, where the rider is taken further into space on a new adventure. The track remains unaltered. The new onboard audio track was composed by Michael Giacchino, and the refurbished attraction debuted on April 9, 2005. It was later refurbished over a six-month period from January to July 2015, with improvements made to the special effects and overall presentation. In January 8, 2017, Space Mountain: Mission 2 closed to become Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain, as part of its 25th anniversary celebration.
