In celebration of the 30th anniversary of this iconic Discoveryland attraction in 2025, the Walt Disney Imagineering Paris and Design & Delivery teams are developing a brand-new light concept for the exterior of Star Wars™️ Hyperspace Mountain.
This project is about to come to reality, with the launch of the new light concept scheduled on Friday, September 12, after several weeks of programming throughout the summer, and months of preliminary work.
The renovation included the replacement of over 640 luminaires – requiring over 17 kilometres of cabling – the modernisation of technical equipment, and the creation of new technical access points to facilitate maintenance operations. In total, the new light display features about 48,000 lighting points, offering new possibilities to the creative team of the destination. At the same time, repainting of the roof of the attraction is ongoing and will be completed shortly.
This upgrade will deliver a breathtaking experience – not only for passengers aboard Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain, but also for all Discoveryland guests, who will be able to enjoy the stunning light effects – forming a loop lasting about 16 minutes – generated each time a vehicle launches.
As well as restoring the attraction’s majestic roof to its original splendour, the new lighting will feature all-new effects to enhance this iconic Discoveryland landmark.
