Disneyland Paris is preparing a major transformation of Space Mountain, with a planned closure in 2027.

Disneyland Paris is reportedly planning a major renovation of Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain, one of the most iconic attractions in its historic park. The project could begin in 2027 and result in an extended closure, potentially lasting nearly two years. However, Disneyland Paris has not yet released an official timeline detailing the duration of the work, the reopening date, or the future identity of the attraction.

Inaugurated in 1995 as Space Mountain: From the Earth to the Moon , the attraction was originally inspired by the world of Jules Verne and the retro-futuristic aesthetic of Discoveryland. It became Space Mountain: Mission 2 in 2005, then Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain in 2017. Despite several modernizations, its interior layout, launch system, and a significant portion of its infrastructure still rely on the original design developed by Disney and the manufacturer Vekoma.

A possible return to the world of Jules Verne

Among the most discussed hypotheses is a return to the " From the Earth to the Moon" theme , particularly beloved by longtime visitors. A prolonged closure would allow for the replacement of certain technical elements, the renovation of the interior decor, the modernization of the visual and sound effects, and improvements to train comfort. This option, however, remains speculative: available information suggests a closure starting in October 2027, but Disney has not yet officially confirmed the project or the return to the Jules Verne theme.

This transformation would be part of the extensive renewal of Disneyland Paris, already marked by the metamorphosis of the second park into Disney Adventure World and the opening of Frozen. Space Mountain, recognizable by its imposing dome and Columbiad cannon, has remained one of the resort's main symbols for over thirty years. A complete refurbishment would therefore be a strategic undertaking, but visitors will have to wait for an official announcement to learn the precise timeline and content of the future experience.
