Reflecting the Vernian influence of Disneyland Paris' Discoveryland - their version of Tomorrowland - these posters for attractions in their land are things of beauty. First is the marvellous poster for the original Space Mountain: From the Earth to the Moon, which most strongly carries the Victorian theme through. Second is the poster for the Videopolis eatery, with it's overhanging Hyperion airship from The Island at the Top of the World. Following this the poster for the giant orrery/rocket-jet ride Orbitron, which in real life is a fantastic piece of kinetic sculpture. Finally is the now-absent Le Visionarium show poster, in which the kindly robot took visitors on a journey through the history of scientific progress, starting with Jules Verne.
And then a ride that was conceived but never executed...
Videopolis is my favorite. But all posters are fantastic. The style is very... well you know "Voyages Extraordinaires" Hah! Great stuff Cory. Appreciated Richard.
Thufer... The stupid part is, it only occurred to me about two weeks ago that when I was at Disneyland Paris, I really ought to have gone to the Disney Gallery and seen if I could have bought the Space Mountain one. ARG!
Im planning to go to Tokyo or Hong Kong Disney this Christmas. Hoho and I found some stuffs from Hong Kong Disneyland here as well: disneycloth.cwahi.net

Great stuff, Cory!
When you go back, I would like to place an order for each one!
You know, you will need to take some cash to TDL, as well!
