A EuroDisneyland Map Without Space Mountain: De la Terre a la Lune

EuroDisney, Euro Disneyland, or Disneyland Paris? Whichever name you prefer, there's no denying it is one gorgeous park! Here's an 1992 opening day guide map that's quite a beautiful piece. You can see there's no Space Mountain yet (or Space Mountain: De la Terre a la Lune- "From the Earth to the Moon") in Discoveryland. The Jules Verne themed adventure would open a few years later, saving the park from a devastating closure due to dismal hotel bookings. 

Will this incredible original Parisian park ever seen a worthy addition? Who knows. The suits and Imagineers are well into planning for the dismal Walt Disney Studios second gate- still the worst park ever created by Disney. It's the French theme park equivalent of Disney's Hollywood Studios but without the charm or attraction line up. For now. Stay tuned.
