Childhood memories of riding Space Mountain in 1997 with my dad a couple of times in a row! Theming was just perfect… I cannot believe they destroyed that attraction with that stupid IP!
Never change a runnig system... nachdem nun leider auch die Diamantenwelt Geschichte ist verliert der Park immer mehr von seinem einzigartigen Charme...💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭
This was the perfect John Williams style music with elements of ET, Superman, Indiana Jones, etc that matched the steampunk themed Jules Verne style of the whole of Discoveryland I worked on Star Tours as this was being built in 1994
I think Piccolo Mondo is a knock off of Its a Small World as Piccolo Mondo translates to Small world and the music repeats over and over but the characters don't sing an annoying song. I also found out that Europa Park is like the German version of Disneyland. Edit: Before Piccolo Mondo was made, there was a ride called Ciao Bambini who was even more similar to Its a small world because the characters sung an annoying song in a high pitched voice.
That robot voice sounds like the 1980s robot voice from the Automated People Mover (APM) @ Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
This ride had so much more class than any other Space Mountain; much like how the French are known to be really classy. The rest of Disneyland Paris also had a similar feel to it, with a more elegant castle, a more serious and somewhat ornate haunted mansion, and some other more romanticized attractions. These days, it seems that the park is becoming a more Americanized capitalistic cheap commercial cashgrab.
@@TroubleLightCoasters Yeah, from some photos I've seen, the entire place looks like it's in desperate need of a parkwide refurbishment. Space mountain has a rusty, dirty exterior and the ride itself got really rough because the track doesn't get good maintenance. Like I said, the park is becoming more American (in a bad way)
French here. I grew up with the beginnings of DisneyLand Paris in the early 90s (my mother was one of the first Disney "princesses" employed by the park). I therefore had the privilege of often visiting Disneyland, always with this magical feeling of living a waking dream in a parallel reality where fantasy and science are one. Went back last March for the first time in ten years. I hated. There were hardly any French people left, only tourists, everything was terribly expensive and I had the impression that the park was after my wallet. It was not an impression elsewhere. Money has made this place lose its soul, which for years was the theater of the dreams of a whole generation of children and adults relapsed into childhood. This place now looks like the USA: a soulless capitalist nightmare that doesn't understand that money is earned. You don't make money in the long term by just wanting to make money as your sole motivation. Walt Disney's dream was not to brew billions, but to make billions of people dream. And he made billions for it. This company deserves to collapse, just like our current civilization.
