It appears that one of Disney’s Space Mountain roller coasters is set to begin a stint of refurbishment.
According to Disneyland Paris Insider @DLPReport, the Star Wars-themed Space Mountain, Hyperspace Mountain, closed on Monday, May 30, for some “routine refurbishment” and will remain closed through June 10.

Originally named Space Mountain Mission II, the Disneyland Paris variant of the iconic indoor roller coaster exudes a fun, steampunk design and theme originally based on the Jules Verne story, Le Voyage Dans La Lune. Like the Space Mountain attractions at Hong Kong Disneyland and Disneyland Park in California, Walt Disney Imagineers gave it a Star Wars overlay temporarily renaming it to Hyperspace Mountain. It is the only Space Mountain to go upside down.
While this closure is only temporary, Tokyo Disney Resort is preparing to give its Space Mountain a complete overhaul, transforming it into essentially an entirely new attraction. Click the link below to read our coverage of that story.
