Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain is a steel launched enclosed roller coaster found at Disneyland Paris in Marne la Vallée, Île-de-France, France. When built in 1995, it was the first full-circuit launch coaster.

History

The ride opened on 1 June 1995 as Space Mountain: De la terre a la lune.[1] Then, for its 10th anniversary, in 2005, it was revamped to Space Mountain: Mission 2.[2][3] It remained under this name until 2017, when it was renamed to Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain: Rebel Mission and given new trains with vest restraints. This was done for Disneyland Paris' 25th anniversary.[4]
