That, along with the recently improved ride audio system, has the interior compensating for the exterior fiasco.Īfter riding HSM four times in a row, we got a Fastpass for the newly reopened Star Tours l’Aventure Continue, right next door. Overall, the Paris version seems more spacious inside than the other versions, which provides more space for screens (and larger ones) throughout the ride. The loop is even better, mimicking the barrel roll movement made by the ships, with lasers following the ride train from start to end.

The characteristic blue lines are shown after we reach the top of the acceleration hill, but the effect is great nonetheless. The acceleration at the beginning of the ride obviously has been used to simulate the infamous Star Wars lightspeed jump, with a small delay, since most of it is done in the open (providing that great view of the ride from the outside). Fortunately for the riders, we’re thrown in the middle of a battle between X-Wings and TIE fighters.

The story is pretty much the same as the others: Jakku (a planet introduced during the movie The Force Awakens) has detected the presence of a Star Destroyer, and it's up to us, the Rebels, to go there and check out what is happening. Paris’ Space Mountain track, with its acceleration, loop and sharp turns, remains the best in the world, and Imagineers took advantage of these differences when placing the SW references in it. The same can’t be said for the ride itself. Definitely incorporating the theme into Hong Kong and California worked better, with their silverish/blueish decor. Just putting on a couple of “Hyperspace Mountain” banners and SW ships’ posters throughout the line did not work for me. But the colors and design of the movie franchise clash with what we are used to seeing in Paris. Disney tried to successfully incorporate a Star Wars theme to the Jules Verne decór of the ride. What was once this version’s greatest achievement is now its enemy. However the layover is not without its problems. Getting to ride the coaster over and over again, with no lines, was definitely the highlight of the evening. A little slower than expected by Disney standards, 35 minutes later a cast member presented us with a specific “Pack Hyperspace” band and a limited, beautiful HSM pin, with the date printed on it. Promptly at 5pm we arrived at Disneyland Paris gates, to be met by a long line, waiting to have its check-in. Both, I should highlight, included access to the Disney parks after 5pm. For 64 euros, you could “upgrade” your Star Wars Soirée experience to include special exclusive ride time on Hyperspace Mountain. Two packs were offered for the evenings of May, 5th and 6th: a basic one, at the price of 49 euros, included only the party itself, but no roller coaster. Generally its return is around the month of May and Star Wars Day, which is May 4th.The opportunity was part of Star Wars Night (or Star Wars Soirée), which combined the experience over at Hyperspace Mountain with an exclusive night of Star Wars-themed entertainment at the neighbouring Walt Disney Studios Park. Since it initially debuted for a limited time run, it has returned multiple times. This was a celebration at Disneyland that coincided with the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Originally, Hyperspace Mountain debuted at the Disneyland Resort in 2015 as a part of the Season of the Force. It’s an epic Star Wars combat scene taken straight from the films-but hurry, Hyperspace Mountain is only open for a limited time! Maneuvers become more intense as you join the Rebel squadron for one final, courageous assault on the menacing Star Destroyer. After being escorted into hyperspace by an elite X-wing squadron, you arrive only to find the Star Destroyer waiting with a swarm of TIE fighters-it’s a trap!Īs Rebel forces valiantly battle Imperial vessels, you’re caught up in a barrage of blaster fire.

Your mission begins with a briefing from Admiral Ackbar-the Rebel Alliance needs help flying reconnaissance vessels to survey an Imperial Star Destroyer.
