A colorful Space Mountain Earthrise logo is now on Tokyo Disneyland’s construction walls. The rebuilt coaster, with onboard audio and a story about Earth, opens in 2027.
Tokyo Disneyland’s new Space Mountain has a name tag now, and it’s very purple.
The logo for Space Mountain Earthrise went up on the construction walls in Tomorrowland, WDW News Today reported on Oct. 9. The ride opens in 2027.
What does the Space Mountain Earthrise logo look like?
It’s a big round badge. The ride’s name sits over a picture of Earth, with the new Space Mountain building on top, WDW News Today reported.
The border swirls together blue, purple, magenta and orange, like a sci-fi album cover from the ‘70s. At the bottom, it says “Presented by Coca-Cola.”
Disney’s plain version of the logo, shared in August, uses shiny silver lettering with a curved horizon line between the two words.
What is Space Mountain Earthrise?
It’s a brand-new Space Mountain coaster. Guests launch from Earth deep into space, with special light and sound effects along the way, WDW News Today reported.
The name refers to the sight of Earth rising beyond the moon’s surface, a bit like a sunrise, according to Oriental Land Co. That’s the company that owns and runs Tokyo Disney Resort under a license from Disney.
Disney says the ride is designed to “celebrate the beauty of our planet while inspiring guests to look toward the future.”
The ride vehicles will also have onboard audio, a first for Tokyo Disney Resort, according to WDW News Today.
Oriental Land Co. also says the Earthrise idea is unique to Japan. No other Space Mountain around the world tells this story.
When does Space Mountain Earthrise open?
Sometime in 2027. An exact date hasn’t been announced.
It’s part of a bigger Tomorrowland makeover worth about 100 billion yen, which also adds new shops and restaurants, blooloop reported. A new Tomorrowland Plaza will sit in front of the ride.
Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue, a Wreck-It Ralph ride that takes the place of Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters, is coming in 2027, too. In that one, guests team up with Ralph and Vanellope to turn rogue sugar bugs back to normal while staying a step ahead of King Candy, according to Disney.
Walt Disney Imagineering posted a flyover video of the construction:
What happened to the old Space Mountain at Tokyo Disneyland?
It’s gone. The original opened with the park in 1983 and closed for good on July 31, 2024.
Work on the new building started while the old ride was still running. For a while, Tokyo had two Space Mountains standing at once, one going up and one coming down.
How much does the new Space Mountain cost?
A lot. The budget is about 70.5 billion yen, up from about 56 billion yen when the project was announced in 2022, according to Oriental Land Co.’s financial reports. That’s more than $400 million.
Theme Park Shark and Disney Tourist Blog both reported the increase. Because Oriental Land Co. is a public company that reports its spending, this is one of the few Disney rides with a known price tag.
Is Disneyland Paris getting a new Space Mountain too?
Kind of. Disneyland Paris is turning Hyperspace Mountain back into Space Mountain: De la Terre a la Lune, which means “From the Earth to the Moon” in French.
The Paris version brings back the Jules Verne theme the ride started with, plus its original music, Disney announced at D23 in August.
