Discoveryland took another diversion away from its visionary beginnings last week with the first pieces of entrance signage installed for Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain: Rebel Mission — to dismay from the majority of fans and visitors online. The logo replaces the Space Mountain: Mission 2 signage on the same turquoise marquee, and before that the original Space Mountain attraction title (and even, for a short while, the initial Discovery Mountain name).

Even for those anticipating a Star Wars visual style being applied outside this Victorian-inspired building, that no attempt whatsoever has been made to apply the Hyperspace Mountain title in a more fitting way came as a shock. The logo has been lifted cleanly from its Californian cousin, where it sits in a more modern, white futuristic Tomorrowland, and applied as 3D letters with its “lightspeed” effect inside a black outline and grey background. Compared to Paris’ earlier marquees, the design is disappointingly simplistic and clearly out-of-place with its immediate surroundings.

Some useful photos featured here by DLP Welcome show how the new, possibly unfinished, marquee sits both outside the attraction and within this wider area of Discoveryland, directly opposite Orbitron and the Hyperion Airship.

Although more elements could yet be added, the signage doesn’t yet feature either the “Star Wars” or “Rebel Mission” of its extended title. • Previously — Hyperspace Mountain: Rebel Mission poster art features new, non-Star Wars trains Disneyland Paris fans and visitors on Twitter were overwhelmingly negative about the installation.

@HyperionPilot @CafeFantasia The new one is so wrong! ?

@HyperionPilot @CafeFantasia ..Sadly, this is a huge visual intrusion. With the reopening 2 months off, this may not be the finished product

The Hyperspace Mountain logo is fine as a temporary one, but if our’s truly is permanent it must be changed. It’s shockingly cheap looking.

@HyperionPilot @CafeFantasia What a shame @DisneylandParis That’s so cheap and out of place: you’re losing it!

@SalonMickeyBlog Yeah. ? The idea was kind of fun, as just a temporary overlay thing. But, permanent, with THAT sign out front? ?

Not feeling the #hyperspacemountain sign at all

@ED92live I really like the sign itself, but it’s at odds with the themeing of the surrounding area.

— PlayWearTalkRed (@PlayWearTalkRed) March 2, 2017

@ED92live the name is so far from the external theme as to make it comical.

@DisneylandBerry Graphic design fail.

— Mark Rendle (@marky_rendle) March 3, 2017

@DisneylandBerry Looks incongruous and cheap. What a fail.

@DisneylandBerry Thanks for the photo, but compared to the SM 2 sign it’s ugly and doesn’t fit with the dome.

@CafeFantasia @SalonMickeyBlog Hyperspace Mountain works really well at HKDL, but it’s going to be a horrendous mess in Discoveryland!

@InsideDLParis @DisneylandBerry This looks so wrong! Nothing at this sign matches … not even the colors ?

An opening date has still not been announced for the reworked Disneyland Park attraction, although refurbishment schedules now suggest Sunday, 7th May 2017. The signage has appeared surprisingly early in its four month conversion. Photos: DLP Welcome
