     Area DevelopmentCrater PoolsA rocky, extra-terrestrial landscape welcomes guests to Discoveryland, gushing with water and illuminated in various colours under the darkness of night.

Discovery LagoonThe bubbling lagoon next to Space Mountain, where Captain Nemo’s Nautilus submarine (from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea) can be seen positioned. MusicAs Discoveryland has gradually moved towards a more modern and colourful vision of the future, its soundtrack has also shifted through time… Discoveryland LoopThe Discoveryland loop was written and recorded especially for the park in 1992 by composer David Tolley. With strong keyboards and pianos, its upbeat and light sounds continue to give the land a stirring sense of life and movement. Space Mountain LoopThe Space Mountain loop, which previously featured orchestrations such as “Krull”, “Rocketeer” and “Columbus” rich in trumpets and strings, was removed at the launch of Space Mountain: Mission 2 and never returned. The area is now silent.

From the classical visions of Verne to the modern-day missions of Buzz Lightyear, anything within the limits of possibility can – and will – be accomplished.
The towering centrepiece of the land is Space Mountain: Mission 2, a new, reloaded adventure to the edge of the universe inspired by Jules Verne’s unique vision of space travel. After being blasted out of the Columbiad cannon, you’ll hurtle past the moon and hit the edge of the universe, where a spectacular Supernova explosion awaits. Brand new in 2006, Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast still needs YOU for a code-red, interactive, emergency mission into the Gamma Quadrant! Pilot your own XP-41 Space Cruiser, as you journey to dark and mysterious planets to help save the universe from the threat of invasion by evil emperor Zurg and his army of battery-hungry robots. Come back down to Earth (and then some), as you’re shrunk to the size of a mouse in Honey, I Shrunk The Audience, or blast off again for a turbulent flight on Star Tours commercial airways, before taking a moment to relax in the enormous Videopolis Theatre, where The Legend Of The Lion King comes to life in a spectacular musical stage show, with inspirational music and high-tech special effects. See the world from different angles; Save the universe with your own hands; Test the limits of imagination… Discoveryland: What one can conceive, one can achieve. | Discoveryland OverviewAttractions1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Entertainment9 RestaurantsA B C D BoutiquesE F G
