Attraction Poster
"Serigraph (silk Screen print) printed in mulitple colors on a special Tyvak paper because it is resistant to climate changes. The print is a prototype of the original poster, was pulled by hand at Disney Imagineering in 1991, and used as a proof before additional prints were to be made. This prototype is special because the name "Discovery Mountain" was changed, and the proofs with this name were destroyed, and new prints were created with the new name. This is a piece of Disney History and the only one in existance! The measurement on the Serigraph is 47 inches long by 33 inches wide. I inherited it from a family member who worked at Disney Imagineering on Euro Disney. He designed and painted all of the signs on Main Street in Euro Disney." The poster was offered at www.ebay.com.

Inside the Cannon
Along the catapult there are some of these "termination boxes" located. The text on the green label gives a clear reference to the original attraction name:
"DISC-CTB3, CATAPULT TRACKSIDE, TERMINATION BOX 3, DISCOVERY MOUNTAIN - EDL"

Nautilus Postcard
The picture of this Nautilus postcard was obviously taken before the offical opening of Space Mountain. Space Mountain's entrance is still closed and the reverse of the greeter features the DM logo.
