Okay... but where does Jean Lafitte fit into all this?
EVERYWHERE
Space Pirate.
So I was actually thinking about this a lot and doing a lot of research. So probably through Plus Ultra and S.E.A and Colonel Impey Barbicane, and Jules Verne who was a member of both plus ultra and S.E.A. It's possible that even S.E.A. transforms into plus ultra during the 20th century. This is especially true since Amelia Earhart doesnt appear to be a member of S.E.A. but plus ultra. Non fictional characters mostly seem to be members of plus ultra, and S.E.A has a predominance of fictional characters.
i would interpret paris space mountain as an even earlier mission than florida, mainly because of the steampunk theme. that would be why it's called mission 2, because it's the actual second mission into space. it would explain why its rougher and things are bigger, as technology hadn't advanced as far to give a smoother ride for the tourists. but awesome connections! especially for a ride that tends to seem a little straightforward :)
Alex Childers I know this has nothing to do with your comment other than the rough statement it’s actually not rough At all anymore, it’s surprising it’s a very very enjoyable ride
@@icy8611 and the new restraints make it a lot smoother too :)
Or maybe it was just rough because it is a vecoma. Food for thought
The original one was, it was a historical look at the start of an alternate universe where we have spaceflight in the 1800's, fits in with the tomorrowland storyline from the movie and book universe, and possibly even the start of plus ultra. Colonel Impey Barbicane made space mining a thing obviously in the 1800's so this likely lead to tomorrowland since Jules Verne was a member of that society and finding the alternate timeline.
@@icy8611 same time years before New year would definitely be there in about store story about it take in the world and Disneyland Disney company class starts at VIP tickets tour New oasr awesome picture of the same place looks like 70s
We need to congratulate offhand Disney for making awesome content
Space Mountain at Disneyland used to be sponsored by FedEx and the story that was given in the queue was that the riders were going to be delivering packages IN SPACE!
So Futurama,
Also I remember X-S tech was there too
RedLighting Animation X-S Tech is a alien encounter reference. They may have added that during the 90s
yeah they where making it a part of tomorrow land in the ads
@@Maniac536 it's looks like 1977 history books documentary about biography history channel interview with oasr awesome picture awards TCM channel on RUclips videos https very much closer than mousekers at Walt Disney world series finale season start show releases on Facebook messenger key magic key
The real story: Jean Laffite knew he would have to expand his theme parks around the world, so he made a giant space station where he would send people to explore areas in space so that he knew the best location to build and Pirate next.
JEAN LAFFITE FITS INTO EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When the CA Disneyland version of Space Mountain originally opened the sequence where you have the long ascend up was way different than the warping space projection we have now. It used to have glowing blue rectangle mirror boxes and glass end to end on the sides and above you that had tiny blinking stars (light bulbs) inside them. It was an old 70's "infinity" effect that was popular and used a lot back then. This was accompanied with strange ambient space sounds along with different pitch "boink" sound effects here and there. Wish someone had a photo of this. I have never found one online yet. This effect was there for about 6 years or so then later replaced with a laser tunnel of lines that rotated around you and now is the one you show with the space warp projections.
mokthemagicman, I remember the glowing blue mirror boxes on the second lift-hill in Disneylands' Space Mountain during its early years. I liked that effect. I too have looked for images of that part of the attraction with no success. I also remember while in the interior queue being able to view bits of the action inside of the attraction with rocket vehicles whizzing by in the darkness. If I remember correctly, those "windows" were covered/sealed up when the FedEx overlay happened. In addition, I remember the open view from the load area of Florida's Space Mountain as well.
i'm glad somebody mentioned this. i remember the light blue "infinite mirror" effect of the early years, as we climbed upwards. i always assumed that was to represent the earth's "blue skies", as we blasted off from the surface of the planet and rose through the atmosphere. when we broke through the edge of the atmosphere into the blackness of space, that's when the "fun" began! :)
I swear I thought you were gonna call the ghost Jean Laffite no joke.
Johnny tylerrrr
IT'S JEAN LEFITTE
IF YOU GUESSED JEAN LAFFITE COME O-
No jk it’s an Alien
That's Space Pirate ghost Jean Lafiette.
I actually just spit my water out😂
I'd like to believe that De la Terre à La Lune (Original Space Mountain in Paris) is a prequel of sorts where the Baltimore Gun Club inadvertently began this timeline long before it actually starts.
DinoAndy up you go!
Honestly, Paris Space Mountain looks much more primitive than the others, it is probably a prequel to the others, the first of it's kind in terms of technology.
It is, It was based on the Jules Verne novel 'From the Earth to the Moon' which is why it is themed in Victorian Steam Punk style.
I just went there even though is no longer from the earth to the moon and is just Star Wars
This music... this musiiiic... *awwwwww yeaaaaaaaas this musiiiiic........*
what's it from? im getting heavy nostalgic effects from it but i don't remember it
The song is called space mountain star tunnel. It plays during the first 1/3 of the ride cue; from entrance to the start of the games.
lol
Yocelio this song makes me cry lmao
*yeeeeeeeeeeee*
I never really considered the idea that each Space Mountain has a different function, but now that you mention it, it certainly seems to be a trend.
Space Station 77: Logistics and shipping, based off of FedEx branding, and the utilitarian look of the loading area.
Starport Seven-Five: Point A to point B transportation, like an airline, for reasons stated in video.
Hong Kong: This Mountain seems to be more like a sight-seeing version of Seven-Five. It's still primarily transporting passengers, but takes a much more scenic route.
Tokyo: This Mountain is completely different. It seems more high-tech, with sciencey effects everywhere. This Mountain also seems to be the only (contemporary, not including Paris) *terrestrial* Mountain. It seems to be dealing with experimental technology, including teleportation.
Paris: It's just an old-timey gun blown out of proportion. Not from the same time period as the other Mountains, and a lot more fantastical than actually trying to be part of a canon.
I also can't see them all being connected physically. The entire construction pictured is probably just Space Station 77.
Wonderful! Space Mountain has been a favorite of mine since I was a child (which was a very long time ago). Something to touch on in the future would maybe be the brief time that FedEx sponsored Space Mountain at Disneyland. The story was more along the lines of a shipping center during that incarnation. FedEx robots, packages, etc.
I love it's looks like new ride Disney plus movie maze 2016 in 2005 years before New DVD releases on Facebook messenger key magic New dream key new number ride before making money made into store story life look back at movie made like flash back past few days
I'm surprised you didn't mention the original version of Mission 2, "From Earth to the Moon." That looked way cooler that M2.
The soundtrack was way better too
I never heard if this,wish I could have ridden it
It was a capsule ejected from a canon (that's why it was opened to air and very fast), like in a story of Jules Verne. We were the testers for a launch to the moon (and back) from the "Baltimore Gun Club".
Our park does not have a Tomorrow Land, it's Discovery Land here, and most things, including Space Mountain, were themed with steam punk ideas.
Mission 2 made me miss the first version, and Hyperspace mountain makes me miss Mission 2 :(
The original ride was based on the movie Le Voyage Dans La Lune by Georges Méliès, one of the first big films and also consequently made by a frenchman. The story for this film was based on a story by Jules Verne. It makes sense this story was put in the Space Mountain in Paris.
I was too young to experience it back then, but my parents told me the iconic moon with a rocket in the eye showed up, but I am not sure about that. I wish i would've been able to see it for myself though :)
Rini Tea Nope it did not.
I'd never thought I'd be questioning the canon of different space mountains
Space mountain is by far my favorite ride just for the atmosphere of it all, and I like the theory of the story connecting them all together!
J E A N L A F F I T E
Stephanie Henderson Congrats Im your 140th like have a nice day
thank you very much lol im stephanies alter ego
JeAN LaFFiTe
I believe there is one more ride to the Space Mountain Canon which is Mission: SPACE because if you see at the side of the Rocket Ship it's called X-1 and then in Mission: SPACE the name of the ship is X-2. this could just be a nod to space mountain but no , i believe this would take place before both both the Space Mountain in Disneyland and Disney World then this story going to Mars happens and then would come Space Mountain: Mission 2 obviously you try to go to the edge of the universe and last while the mission at the edge of the universe you attract the "ghost"and then finally Ghost Galaxy. That is my theorie plus all the stuff from the video.
Good theory! I liked it.
As a kid in the 90s while waiting in Space Mountain line for my first ride I was soo scared my stomache was turning because my older brothers told me that if you raised your hands they would be ripped off by the beams or tracks overhead. And before entering the launch bay there was a window that looked inside the ride to see that red/orange satelite.
J the Batchelor - LOL - there was a bad arm injury but it happened on Thunder Mountain
Disneyland Paris’s Space Mountain was originally called De Terre A La Lune (forgive me if I misspelled it) and it was based off of one of Jules Verne’s novels until 2005 when it was converted into Mission 2 which can have some speculation from there
Edit: also if you don’t know who Jules Verne is, he was a French novelist in the late 1800s and wrote science fiction books, and some of his books were Journey to the Center of the Earth, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and From Earth to Moon
Wow! I had no idea the Paris version was so intense! I rode it when I was 27 and felt super embarrassed and ashamed over my weakness and cowardliness. My folks swore that I rode the one in Anaheim when I was 3 and loved it so much I wanted to ride it again. Surely something tame enough that a three year old could not only be allowed on, but want to ride it again MUST be safe for adults. I had my eyes shut the entire time (which may explain why I didn't even know of the loops or inversions). When the ride was over, I felt like someone had beat me up by punching me in the head senseless with boxing gloves. I found my earring in my hair, which was all in my face. I couldn't move, but knew I had to so the next guests could ride. I found myself at the nearest bench a few feet (sorry, "meters") away from the rocket car. I sat there in tears trying to recover, trying to figure out how on earth 3yo me could not only be allowed to ride it, but not have any physical issues with it. Now I know. This was not the same ride. Don't think I could ever ride any other version of this, simple due to this traumatic experience.
I wonder how many well-traveled riders get surprised by that bait-and-switch! I've only ridden the original Orlando Space Mountain, which has sudden turns and small drops that make it a bit more jerky than the Anaheim one, but the Paris one sounds like an actually pretty intense coaster.

Loops n' Shit
Jean Laffite is now an intergalactic business man who owns the space station. :)
jeanport 67
I T S J E A N L A F F I T E!!!!!!!!!!!
I think space mountain in Paris is a reference to the French silent film "a trip to the moon"
In the movie the astronauts get shot through a giant cannon also it shares the same steampunk theme
It was originally named Space Mountain: From the Earth to the Moon. It's based on From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne
Anybody else love that in the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command TV show the SC station was literally just Space Mountain? I wish that was used more. Heck, I wish that series got more love.
What if Space Mountain Mission 2 is the prequel of Ghost Galaxy?
I mean... sending people to the edges of the known universe... something is bound to go wrong.
Our universe isnt all that there is... there's more things. /more dangerous/ things out there...
Me too Derek Llewellyn love it it's so good I haunted house cleaning up cause contact info conjuring picture awards TCM on money made
The edges of the known universe (and beyond) are not special except for the fact that they're too far away from earth for light to get there.
They now do Deep Space Mountain at WDW for MNSSHP. Rode it the other night, it is so fun and terrifying at the same time. All the lights are off on the ride after the loading area to make it feel like you are going into the deepest reaches of space and they have some booming orchestral soundtrack playing.
One thing... Space Mountain Mission 2 has a story... And it takes place in the turn of the 20th century.
You're traveling to the moon, it's based off of a book.
That is the first one. Mission 2 is when you go to the edge of the universe.
YES I’ve been dying to see this!!
*insert haunted mansion joke*
I’m going to be there on the 16th & 17th!!
Unlucky you the Matterhorn is closing the 16th
I know I’m bummed!
Lucky you get to meet offhand Disney
You didn’t really talk about SM Hong Kong or Tokyo. Are they they the rockin space mountain and hyperspace mountain you mentioned that are not in the cannon, or are they clones of another SM? Where would they fit in the cannon?
Love the video and information. I want more!
They are more like clones of the other Space Mountains. Hong Kong is a carbon copy of Disneyland's (ride wise). Not sure about Tokyo
@@paninisakhnini9585 Tokyo is small kine more intense than Disneyland’s space mountain but other than that it’s just a copy of the American versions
I always wanted to know if Space Mountain had a story because most Disneyland rides had one, so it’s nice to hear this theory. It gives that question I had as a kid some closure haha. Great video, love your channel!
This is exactly why I love this channel. Keep up the good work. And please do more in park live streams/vids if you can.
I love this!!! I've always wondered about the attractions that "don't have a story." Imagineers just don't work without a story, even if it's not overt in the ride. I absolutely love this theory and this video concept! This is my first video I've seen of yours and I will be binging your vids over the next few days because I just love the kind of videos you make! Good job. :)
This was great! I always had a hunch there was some sort of underlying story with these guys :P
For Space Mountain : Mission 2, your theory can't works because it's the Baltimore Gun Club who owns the canon and the building because originaly it was Space Mountain De la Terre à La Lune or in a first time Discovery Mountain, and in mission 2 BGC propose a trip to see a Supernova (the project name of Mission 2 was Supernova) with the Columbiad ^^
Gidg Walhamar That was in the pre-2015 version before they changed the story with the refurbishment.
Arnold Palmer Nope, they didn't. They changed it in 2017 when it became Star Wars : Hyperspace Mountain...
omegaPe it’s changing from hyperspace back to space mountain mission 2 starting November this year so the story will probably change to what he said, a good thing is we keep the comfortable restraints !!
mums spaghettí I don't think so. It's just a fan theory, and I'm convinced that the story of Paris' version is actually much more intricate than that.
Also, I think they are reverting to the old version sooner than that (October from what I remember )
Jean laffite owns all the Disney parks
Went on Space Mountain in Walt Disney World with the lights on and special music for a cast member only party that rented out the whole park (like Swoozie). It was the best night of my life. Great video man.
Anyone else ever read the space mountain comic? It was about how space mountain was a time travel base that created some sort of field allowing for rockets to time travel. It involved paradoxes and eventually the villain manipulates time to turn space mountain into a “bad” space mountain, with it being red and black instead of white. Maybe these are all different versions of space mountain from different parallel universes?
some of my favorite videos are about the lore, theory or not thanks for putting in the work!
That starry space music from the cue = AUTOMATIC NOSTALGIA, reminders of running the line at 5 to midnight with my sister
Space mountain used to be a great ride.
Now it’s just rough, gives me cramps, and gives you the you’re going to die feeling when you’re riding it.
I was in 7th grade the year Space Mountain Disneyland opened, and I first rode it in June 1977. The quote you found, "You and your fellow astronauts..." was used in the voiceover for the queue as well as in both TV/radio ads. When Space Mountain opened, it had only been six years since we first landed on the moon. It made sense that going beyond the moon would happen soon. The 70s!
Hey offhand, you should do a theroy about how the man sitting in the rocking in the disneyland pirates of the Caribbean chair is jean laffete.
I had no idea there *was* a story to Space Mountain, but that would be a little out of character for Disney, to have a ride without even the smallest plot connected to it. Are the Space Mountains in Tokyo and Hong Kong just the same ride as Disneyland's or do they have their own special contributions to the theory?
Also, four designs at the shop? I'm only seeing three.
The Hong Kong one is basically the same but its shorter and smaller so think of the disneyland one but much shorter
@@Blitzblazer90009 Actually, Hong Kong's track layout is exactly the same as both the California and Tokyo ones.
@@cjmanson5692 layout is similar not the same I've been to both, I live in hong kong it's much smaller than the one in California the drops are as high and the turns are shorter as they don't have as much room
@@cjmanson5692 the Cali one is around 2 storeys high but the one in Hong Kong is only 1 storey
@@Blitzblazer90009 Actually, believe it or not, the reason why Hong Kong's is only one story high from ground level to top is because half of the ride itself is below ground level. I've also seen aerial photos of the coaster's construction and the layout is a carbon copy of the CA and Tokyo ones.
I just realized now that Star Command was drawn in tribute to Space Mountain's design. LoL
Wow...
Lol the ghost isn't an alien its Jean Laffite
Perhaps the strange egg-like things from Tokyo Disneyland's Space Mountain are the Ghost Galaxy's species.
Watching Netflix on bus to Disneyland *clicks video*
Also *F I R S T*
Because this video is definitely on Netflix. /s
Stephanie h no one gives a fuck lol
bibasik7 I think they meant they WERE watching Netflix then saw this and clicked on it, I might be wrong but it think about that.
I find this so interesting, I find almost everything on your channel interesting but that's because you're the only youtuber I know that does theories based around all the parks💕
Ghost Galaxy is Best Galaxy
metalmugen I prefer the Jean Laffite Galaxy
Absolutely LOVE how you included the music omggg *·*
I get paid tonight so I can finally buy a shirt !!! I'm gon a wear it when I go to Disneyland in October... possibly buy one for the person I'm going with too
AriLuvsThat poppoopoppppp
Cool!
Love this video so much. Thanks for covering my favourite ride! -Dale
I’m falling asleep to the music lol love this
A Starport and Space Station if both set in Space are one and the Same. A Starport is just more focused on the port kind of side having more "Docks" and whatnot while a Space Station also usualy features Habitation Sections ... in case of Tourism its Hotels, Resturants, Parks, etc.
To go further with the Starport, Starports are usualy set on Planets as a Centre of Interplanetary to Planetary Transportaion. Depending on its location this could mean the usual Space/Star-Port kind of Stuff combined with a Trainstation, Shipping Port, Airport and Road Connection. Sometimes the Starport/Spaceport is even set in two pieces, one being Planetside and as in connection with a Space Elevator (If the Correct Location and Planetary Conditions are given) to a actual Space Port or Station.
Great channel. This guy is always himself and is very knowledgable. Thank you!
The Lafitte...er.. Space Mountain music always makes me happy....
5:22 Super Space penetration huh? That come before or after reentry? Disney, you're killing me.
The song I Feel Love by Donna Summer reminds both me and my dad of Space Mountain
It's a nice theory and I appreciate the work you put into this. But Mission 2 is inspired by the works of Jules Verne and Melies' "La Voyage Dans Le Lune". It's pure steampunk. It's beautifully European. Disney wanted to created something that was the past, looking forward. That way it's future-proof.
When I saw the title I got scared because that's pretty much my favorite ride
Am I the only one who got chills when I heard music
+Offhand Disney - Dude, You really need to show us the entire experience of each ride. People like me will never get to go to these kind of places so it would be great to experience them vicariously here instead. You have the hindsight of having been there many times, but I haven't. That's why I watch your videos, so think about it from my perspective for a while...
The Paris space mountain's facade looks the way it does because it was originally based on the Jules Verne novel "From the Earth to the Moon," more specifically the silent film adaptation of the novel. Thus, it has a more steampunk design and the "shooting" part was originally a giant cannon that shot the "rocket" in the same way that the rocket is shot out of a giant cannon in the movie/novel. It originally had a smoke effect that made it seem like you really were a cannonball.
I always got the vibe that Space station 77 was in some remote and empty galaxy. It's weird to think it's just orbiting Earth
thanks for the experience of space mountain. i can't actually ride it due to disabilities.
My theory on the timeline of Space Mountain:
Disneyland's Space Station 77 is first, showing our first explorations into space.
Disneyland Paris is next, taking place years after Disneyland's first mission. Technology has advanced and we start a new exploration into the furthest reaches of space.
Disney World's Star Port 75 is last. Years, maybe even centuries have passed since Mission 1 and 2, and space travel is now a luxury like cars and planes are now. The Space Station has been adapted into a Star Port that takes tourists to other Star Ports in the galaxy.
This also might mean that Space Station 77 and Star Port 75 are just wings of the mega-space station the promotional material showed, and Disneyland Paris isn't Space Station 76, but just a slightly older Space Station 77.
Also, Ghost Galaxy, being a seasonal attraction, doesn't have a specific place in the timeline. Although, it obviously takes place around the time of Disneyland Paris or Disneyland, as it's explorers finding out what happened to a planet and not tourists.
I just found your channel. I love it more than I should.
Originally, Paris’s Space Mountain was based on From The Earth And The Moon ( hence his steampunk look) . You see , Discoveryland ( Paris’s Tomorrowland) was based on the past’s vision of the future instead of our vision, as a way of circunavigating The obsolescence issue than the other Tomorrowlands wad suffering . However , the refurbished version we know as mission 2 is likely fitting your Hypothesis.
I HATED Space Mountain. I only rode it once, so maybe if I get the courage to ride under those low, low, LOW supports, I might enjoy it. The Space Mountain I am talking about is in WDW. I loved the one in Disneyland. I was afraid of going on the one in CA because I had a bad experience with the one in FL. Turned out, it was great. The seats were two seaters, which calmed me down a little, and it wasn't as nearly as rough as the one in WDW.
I've always seen Space Mountain in Paris as a place for research and development for the other two Space Mountains in Disneyland and Magic Kingdom. While I agree that the "Ghost Galaxy" is an alien to an extent, I often think of it as a more territorial or possessive being and we the riders are trying our best to study it while avoiding being attacked by it.
That was a great video, I wish you did not cut away from from the POV of Mission 2. I was having fun watching it. I honestly thought this was going to be a John Fayette or his descendants in space. You should read the Imagineering book on the Mountains, I forgot the actual name of it. It explains that the Magic Kingdom Park version is a planetary mission through a solar system, possibly ours. Funny because I did not see any planets when I worked there or when riding it, but okay whatever. :) The Disneyland, original Tokyo Disneyland & Hong Kong Disneyland versions are a journey through hyperspace. But the term Hyperspace had not yet been coined so the Imagineers used the term Superspace. Also, you have to remember that description Jim Hill is talking about refers to the 1977 version of Space Mountain. Back then it did not have the strobe tunnel between the A and B Lift. Instead, it was a dark tunnel with flying comets or something and a repeating swooshing sound. I think it can still be found in the Tokyo Disneyland version. I think that is what was originally charging up the rocket trains in the description. Now go back and find Space Mountain connections to John Fayette and make another video, please. :)
extra evidence for space mountain disney world being a place for tourists, when you get off the ride they have dioramas of other planets, showing off potential destinations, not unlike a poster saying "come visit Hawaii" or something like that
I do have a theory on the Tokyo Disneyland version of Space Mountain and how it ties into the overall story, based on my analysis of the official website's description.
The official description: "A mountainous dome bathed in mysterious lights after dark houses a space station where state-of-the-art spaceships, powered by an unknown energy source, take off and land. Get ready for a thrilling rocket ride through the galaxy!"
The theory: The story behind Tokyo Disneyland's Space Mountain, and how it ties into the overall story is that either a government or extra-governmental organization (akin to Torchwood from the British television series Doctor Who and its spin-offs) assigns you on a mission to venture into a parallel universe that was, in galactic scale, recently created to investigate the existence of intelligent life in that universe; which provides the reason why there are no asteroids or planets in the void, save for a eerie blue glow (that you see when you're going up the third lift). The "unknown energy source" was mined from the planet that is featured in the loading area for Disneyland, CA's Space Mountain: Ghost Galaxy.
This gives a very good reason why that ghostly nebula-like alien tries to attack Space Station 77's astronauts in Ghost Galaxy: The aliens are angry that we humans have been intruding on their planet; their realm; and plundering that planet for the energy source that is used by the rockets in the Tokyo Disneyland version.
Now, the ship in the Tokyo version's loading bay, my theory is that ship came from that parallel universe and they've come to our universe to let us know of that parallel universe's existence, but this organization needed physical proof, and the only way to make it into this parallel universe was to use rockets fueled by the energy source from the planet featured in Ghost Galaxy.
I don’t know if it has anything to do with the story or not, but I remember back in the 90s while waiting in line for Space Mountain at Disneyland the video monitors throughout the queue would play commercials, music videos, and even had news reports. I also remember Mario Lopez (Slater from Saved By The Bell) appeared in some of the video footage played. I miss the 90s
Great video while waiting for my next class. Perhaps it’s time to return to Disneyland...
I’m going to Disneyland! On the bus!
it’s always time to return to disneyland
So, my theory regarding Disneyland Paris‘s SM is that the original (De la terre al la luna) is how all of the space traveling started. The Baltimore Gun Club successfully started space travel und space tourism, thus kickstarting the space race. And then, after several decades, the government started to consider exploring the outer reaches of the universe. And so they modified the original Columbiad to launch the modified moon trains even further (thus the lower launching position)
MK space mountain is also connected to tomorrowland 95 with Alien Encounter and the Timekeeper
My theory... All the Tomorrowlands were heavily influenced by Jules Verne's stories, more so in Paris and Tokyo, but they all had 20,000 Leagues and they all embody the spirit of science and adventure. It starts at Mission 2 in Paris. It's based on the From the Earth to the Moon series about the first explorers going into space. Then comes CA's Space Mountain, a more effective trip because now that we know we can get into space via a cannon, the technology has progressed and we can efficiently explore. This naturally leads to the possibility of space tourism at the Magic Kingdom...
Also, Laffite was a Frenchman like Verne suggesting that the ghost alien is in fact Jean Laffite which means pirates were actually ancient aliens and weve gone to space to find them and the trips are funded by space tourism. Wake up people!!!
My first time on space mountain ghost galaxy at Disney land.. I remember it so well...
I was about 5 or 6 years old, I was with my grandma, my grandpa, my brother, my aunt, my uncle, and my 2 cousins. I was pretty scared and I thought I was gonna die for some reason, so we get on the ride, and I was next to my grandma or my aunt, so the ride starts and I tuck my head under the whole ride, when I brought my head up I saw the “ghost” “alien” thing and I was so scared and soon enough it was over and i was relived I didn’t die
Interesting! Where does the image of the five Space Mountains linked together come from? (It looks like it may be a model.) ....... I always assumed the solar charger in '77 was the second lift, which for many years had a lot of mirrors on either side. (I think it was redone sometime in the '80s). Interesting video!
0:28 my first thought was “ oh my god I’m going to die I regret this so much”
Would you ever be willing to do a video on the Society of Adventurers and Explorers and how it connects across the parks? Like Merryweather Pleasure from Pleasure Island connecting to the Adventurer's club which then connects to the Jungle Cruise and Skipper's Canteen and then to Henry Mystic from Mystic Manor or Harrison Hightower from Tokyo DisneySea? It's a lot and takes noticing a lot of tiny details but you would be my favorite person ever if you did that!
I am a new subscriber here that is my favorite ride and I love your channel. I learn and share so many Disney facts from your channel I love learning Disney facts and I love Disney. I was never at Disney land but I want to go there Disney world is my favorite. They ask where I learn my Disney facts and how I know so much and I say from RUclips it’s facts people who I know did not know.
When I was young, space mountain used to have this drop that that you didn’t know was coming. Now 14, I went this year to disney land and rode it. I was really disappointed. It wasn’t that fun as it used to be, and the surprise drop wasn’t there any more. space mountain has gone down hill☹️
There was one other interation of Space Mountain that you didn't cover. There is cyberspace Mountain that was once located in Disney Quest. It was hosted by Bill Nye the Science Guy and Riders were able to build their own simulated roller coaster. I don't know if it would fit into your story line but it is technically a Space Mountain so it is worth looking into. Plus it's hosted by Bill Nye the Science Guy so that's awesome. Other than that I thought it was a great video.
I'm just waiting for jean lafitte...
8:52 I have been to Disneyland multiple times, but never seen that effect before. ( I haven't went at night in a while) BUT I'm for sure going to stay at night the next time I go !!!!
Space Mountain mission 2 is called that because it was refurbished in 2005 and renamed to try and brand it as a new ride. The original attraction was called space mountain de la terre a la lune. And you didn't mention the huge cannon that you are launched out of in Paris. It's based on the Jules Verne novel called from the earth to the moon.
Space Mountain was built....... BY JEAN LAFFITE
Well Space Mountain Misson 2 is an "upgraded" version of "Space Mountain de La Terre à La Lune", hence the mission 2 tag line. It goes beyond the moon and to a supernova, of which a projection is seen on the second lift.
The reason you're literally launched into space is because of the previous story line, that follows the plot of the Jules Verne's novel From The Earth To The Moon. Hence the more steampunk-ish looking show-building.
I arrive on the 22nd :( I'm gonna miss you by a couple days! Why would you miss dapper day!
I definitely had wondered this exact thing every time I road this ride.
I think the story goes: Mission 2, Disneyland, Tokyo disneyland and Walt Disney world (At the same time, I just think they’re different starports), and the Hong Kong disneyland.
Why do people dislike this mans videos!?!
so, i have a bit of a story with the DIsney Paris and this particular ride... so, i was about 10 or so, was too short to ride, so, i ended up staying outside the ride with my mom and grandmother. my mom unknown to us was extremely sick, and though we where on a sort of vacation or trip, we absolutely love Disney and later on, we ended up knowing somethign was very wrong with her when her vision was going and she got very weak. turns out it was leukemia, so it turns out our trip became a bit of chaos. we where not able to get her on a plane back to the US so she and my dad ended up taking the train into London to get her treatment. thankfully after time and care she got better, but it was unfortunately because of this event that our trip to Disney paris has always had a bit of a negative memory for us. however, that was back in 1999, and its all well now. we just went to Disney World FL, November of last year, and had a blast. unfortunately, space mountain was down for maintance so we never got to ride it that trip... go figure eh?
I went on the Florida Disney space mountain. Never again, though I did enjoy the walk out after looking at what future homes would look like.
I've been wanting to write a Space Mountain Movie for AGES (I'm studying film in college) and, having just started the video, I'm interested to see if what you have coincides with what I do. I want to flesh out the story and make something amazing.
EDIT: You used the same source I did, that's funny. I didn't know about the detail you had on Mission 2, that's awesome! But besides that, our info was the same. There's some story to write! I'm excited.
(ALSO: Subbing for this vid)
I always wondered I was looking at the one at wdw with the space station stuff and it has some references in tomorrow land
Sorry star port
Other people pointed it out, but you didn't mention the original Space Mountain in Disneyland Paris, which was based on a Jules Verne story (like a lot of Discoveryland). I'm not sure it'd really fit into this theory except as like, a prequel of sorts, since it just took you from the earth to the moon (hence the subtitle)
Would love a video about the jungle cruise! It’s one of my fav Disney rides and would be cool for you to tell the story of it
Last (and only) time I went to space mountain I waited 3 hours and then the ride broke before I could get on and this triggered a very, very sad memory that I couldn’t be on the cool classic ride
Hey, that background music is pretty cool! Is that played at Space Mountain? Cool theory, never thought the Space Mountain rides actually had a story. Nifty!
this is on space mountain at disney world.
on my first time on this ride it stopped bc APPARENTLY someone jumped off but idk if that’s what actually happened bc going 20 miles an hour is kind of fast but i guess not when you see people moving in the light bc when they stopped it at first it was in the dark and people on the other side were moving and in all we were stuck right at the part where you go up and your about to plung down but we stopped and anyways i took a bunch of pictures and video and stuff and there were two more people with us that we didn’t know (it was me my two sisters and my dad, my mom held our bags lol) and we each got 3 fastpasses and the other two people gave us their fastpasses and we were leaving in a few days so whatever we didn’t use we gave to our sister bc she was doing the Disney College Program and yeah. at disneyland if you get stuck on california screaming (rip) ((i call it california sleeping bc my sister and i were like ima just take a nap)) you get ice cream and a bottle of water. omg disneyland also has good food and disney worlds is kind of nasty smh.
