Disney Enterprises has filed a trademark for “Space Mountain Earthrise” in Japan, sparking speculation that this might be the name for the reimagined Space Mountain attraction scheduled to open in 2027. The trademark encompasses a very wide array of uses, including in theme parks. As seen in the concept art below, not only will the attraction be completely rebuilt, but so will the entrance plaza.
This entirely new Space Mountain attraction will maintain its original concept as an indoor roller coaster but will have enhanced performance and immersive special effects that will give guests even more thrills on this exciting ride.
Additionally, the new Tomorrowland plaza will express the connection between Earth and the universe, representing an image of a future where humans are in harmony with nature. After dark, the area will draw guests into a spectacular world of light and soundscapes.
Disney broke ground on the reimagining back in May 2023 with work mostly taking place in backstage areas behind the attraction. The reimagining will cost north of $400 million.
The existing Space Mountain will have its final day of operation on July 31st.
