Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain: Take on the Empire at Disneyland Paris

At Disneyland Paris, Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain propels guests into a space-battle in Discoveryland. A catapulted launch, upside-down twists and the saga’s music: this is what awaits you on this roller coaster at Disneyland Park, with a few practical tips before liftoff.

With its dome and cannon aimed at the sky, Space Mountain is a landmark in Discoveryland. At Disneyland Paris, this familiar silhouette houses Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain, a thrill ride where roller coasters meet the saga’s starships. The destination is distant, very distant; yet the starting point is in Marne-la-Vallée.

A Mission with the Rebel Alliance

No need to know the entire Skywalker family tree to follow the story. In Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain, you join the Rebel Alliance for a reconnaissance mission. After instructions from the Admiral Ackbar, you head toward a towering Imperial warship… which is already waiting for you.

The Rebel X-wings then dive into battle against the Imperial TIE fighters. Blaster fire, pursuing enemies, and a wash of sound effects accompany the ride. Fans of the saga will recognize the setup: with Ackbar nearby, you’d better watch out for traps.

What does it feel like on Star Wars: Hyperspace Mountain?

The departure sets the tone: the train is catapulted, then twists through the darkness. The route includes three inversions, in other words three moments where riders find themselves head over heels. John Williams’s music accompanies this space battle, weaving the film’s familiar themes into the train’s soaring motions. The ride’s features are detailed by Disney.

The attraction is aimed at adrenaline junkies who are comfortable with speed and twists. For a visit with kids, the minimum height isn’t the whole story: their eagerness to ride and their ease with darkness also matter. Even a budding Jedi might prefer to keep their feet on solid ground.

From Space Mountain to Hyperspace Mountain

The story of the attraction begins on 1er juin 1995, with the opening of Space Mountain – De la Terre à la Lune, inspired by Jules Verne. Its architecture preserves that aura of extraordinary machines and space travel imagined in the 19th century. The Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain version arrives in 2017, giving the journey a new destination.
