One of my favorite details of Discoveryland is the raised DM lettering that can be seen on the signs for Space Mountain. Space Mountain was originally to be named “Discovery Mountain”, but marketing made the decision that utilizing the established brand name Space Mountain would have instant appeal to guests familiar with Space Mountain.
The decision to change the name came after the signeage was fabricated.
The original Discovery Mountain design called for a complex of attractions, restaurants and shops enclosed in a glass mountain. Of course the design change was the result of Eisnerian budgetary cuts.
