The
Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy
Need more space magic? Why not catch the new Touchstone

Galaxy” novel? The film is due in cinemas in the UK on April
29th 2005, and is reported to arrive with the full one minute

Imagine the effects, the music and the excitement of one of
Disneyland Resort Paris’ best ever commercials on the big screen

SpaceMountain2.com – COMING SOON!
Just spotted today is the new
www.spacemountain2.com
website, which features a very nice modern design and a quick
preview at what the full site will look like when it goes online
next month. After the rather cheap looking design of
www.mission2.nl, fans will be
pleased to see that this website’s design looks amazingly
professional, and should work very well to get potential guests
excited about the ride. It is likely that this website’s
address will be featured at the end of the TV commercials for the
attraction, or it will at least be featured prominently on the
www.disneylandparis.com
homepage (at present the 1min teaser trailer features the address
of the main website and not this specific one). |

3
Extra Days To Wait Again…
Once again it seems that the official public opening of Space
Mountain: Mission 2 has been altered – this time back to the
original date of April 9th 2005. The date was originally
altered to avoid it clashing with Prince Charles’ wedding just one
day earlier, but now it has been decided that, to avoid confusion
and unnecessary expense with changing the date on all publicity,
the official opening will indeed be April 9th 2005. As the
resort still hopes to get as much of the press at the attraction
opening as possible though, the big press event and unveiling of
the newly reloaded attraction will take place on April 6th 2005.
These two dates have been confirmed by both the Disneyland Resort
Paris press office and the posters in the park – which have now
had the makeshift “6” removed from on top of the “9”. |

Mission 2 In Benelux Bambi DVD!
Disney fans in the Benelux area of Europe were today treated to
the delights of the new Bambi Special Edition DVD, aswell as an
extra special surprise inside – some of the first advertising for
Space Mountain: Mission 2 outside of the resort! This comes
in the form of a 4-sided insert, which features information on the
revamped attraction aswell as Disneyland Resort Paris itself and a
special competition to enter via www.mission2.nl (which, at the present time, hasn’t opened
yet). Thanks to PhotosMagiques for the news and images: |

Blast
Off 3 Days Early!
Earlier this week rumours started to emerge that Disneyland Resort
Paris could move the official opening of Space Mountain: Mission 2
to an earlier date to avoid the attention of the press being
overrun by the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles
which is due to take place on April 8th 2005. This news has
now been official confirmed and a new official opening date of 6th
April 2005 has been announced by the replacement of the “9” by a
“6” on the teaser posters which have now appeared along the
construction walls of the attraction. It is likely hoped
that this new date will allow for more attention on the relaunch
of the attraction, and this also shows that the attraction
probably isn’t going to be in a rush to get finished if they
afford to open it three whole days early. Unfortunately for
Disneyland Resort Paris though, this important date change means
they now need to change the dates on every element of the huge
publicity campaign that has already begun throughout the resort.
Since the difference is only three days though, it’s quite likely
that to make the change easier to handle some advertisements will
be left as they are, and the “official” opening date as advertised
outside the parks may stay as 9/04/2004, with the attraction still
actually opening on 6/04/2005 to create a good pre-opening buzz
and ensure more of the media’s attention. |

High-Quality Official Concept Art Released!
The concept art we saw a few weeks ago is now available in a
higher quality version, taken direct from the art itself and not
from photos of the display at the Cast Member’s New Attractions
preview exhibition. This new concept art presents a
different version of the attraction’s logo, where the name “Space
Mountain: Supernova!” is used instead of “Mission 2”. It
remains to be seen whether “Mission 2” will stay the attraction’s
name long after the opening, but for now this new concept art
provides a better look at the new effects and an exciting glimpse
at exactly what they meant by a “Victorian space station”!
Click here to see the concept art in full. |
