Euro Disney Shoots for the Moon With New Ride: The company hopes Space Mountain, its moon-shot roller coaster ride based on the Jules Verne classic “From the Earth to the Moon,” will help rocket the Paris theme park out of debt in a few years. Space Mountain, to open June 1, will cost $115.6 million to build. Would-be astronauts will be shot from a mock-up of a 19th-Century cannon and hurtled upside down in the dark through an “asteroid belt.” Euro Disney officials said they hope the ride will attract half a million new visitors annually. Euro Disney, losing money since it opened in April, 1992, had a net loss of $346.9 million in fiscal 1994.
