What are your impressions of Star Wars: Hyperspace Mountain?
The start sets the tone: the train ejects and then alternates turns in the darkness. The route includes three inversions, that is, three moments when passengers find themselves upside down.Music by John Williams accompanies this cosmic battle, adding recognizable motifs from the films to the movements of the train. The characteristics of the track are presented in detail by Disney.
This attraction is therefore addressed to fans of sensations fortes, who enjoy acceleration and reversals.
When visiting with children, minimum height is not everything: their desire to climb and confidence in the dark are both important.
Even a novice Jedi may prefer to keep his feet on the ground.
From Space Mountain to Hyperspace Mountain
The history of the attraction begins on June 1, 1995 with the opening of Space Mountain - De la Terre à la Lune, inspired by Jules Verne. Its architecture preserves the image of truly imaginary mechanisms and dreams of space travel that originated in the 19th century. The Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain version arrives in 2017, giving the journey a different trajectory.
