Star Wars: Hyperspace Mountain[edit]
Star Wars: Hyperspace Mountain is a seasonal version of Space Mountain at both the Disney World and Disneyland locations. The Star Wars themed overlay of the ride first made its debut in Disneyland on November 16, 2015 at the "Season of the Force" event held at the parks to celebrate the release of the new Star Wars movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The Star Wars theming of the ride then became the permanent main attraction at both Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland.[1]
The parks will periodically re-theme Space Mountain back to Hyperspace Mountain for a select few days of the year in the instance of special events at the parks. The ride becomes Star Wars themed again with the release of every Star Wars movie since The Force Awakens and for special events held at the parks such as Disneyland After Dark: 80s Nite.[2]
Ride Changes[edit]
- The line queue has special Star Wars themed lore and safety videos
- The launch tunnel includes voiceovers of pilots speaking and a projection of stars
- The car accelerates at the end of the launch tunnel to simulate entering "lightspeed"
- The Star Wars theme plays throughout the duration of the ride
- A projection is displayed of a journey to the planet Jakku where you encounter TIE fighters and X-Wings[3][4]
Rockin' Space Mountain[edit]
Rockin' Space Mountain was a version of Space Mountain in Disneyland that was first presented as part of the "Year of a Million Dreams" Celebration at the parks in 2007. The ride was designed to transform from the original version of Space Mountain to this special edition at night time only. The concept was created by Disney Grad Nites which were private events not held for the general public. These special events is where they first began the concept of re-theming rides.
Ride Changes[edit]
- The soundtrack is changed to the song "Higher Ground" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Colored, flashing lights are along the track
- "Uncle" Joe Benson, a radio disc jockey from the Disney-owned 95.5 KLOS, welcomes riders[5]
