Your attention please
Space Mountain is a rollercoaster type ride in the dark
with sharp turns, high speeds, heights and sudden drops.

back or neck problems or other physical conditions,

and anyone wearing a neck or back brace refrain from riding.
If you should decide not to ride Space Mountain,
please ask a host or hostess for assistance. Thank you.
The 2 rooms, green and blue, are the last you will see before your travel to the moon.
The blue one is the first, it features a planetarium which seem to be the imagineers "signature". You may see the "TD 748" star, dedicated to Tim Delaney.
There are 2 screens in the blue room, showing the safety warning.
The cast-member in the video is in fact the Disneyland Paris 1995 ambassador.

“Rien ne saurait donner une idée
de la détonation épouvantable de la Columbiad
ni les éclats de la foudre,
ni le fracas des éruptions!”
“No words could convey the sound
of the Columbiad firing...
like the roar of thunder
or the blast of volcanic explosions!”
On the left wall, you could see the trajectory you were going tu take, and another extract of the Jules Verne novel.
“La force de resistance des canons et la
force explosive de la poudre sont illimitées.
Serait-il possible d’envoyer un boulet dans la Lune?”
“The power of Cannon and the force
of gunpowder are potentially unlimited.
Might it be possible to project a shot up to the moon?”
Finally, above the last door, was the famous sentence :
