I figured. I couldn’t find a single article or video when I googled that name that wasn’t just talking about merch and mentioning the ride is still Star Wars. Ugh.
It’s gaining momentum but to the average guest it is popular but there’s the argument would a change of theme to something just as good plus being themetically suitable really be an issue? Or would it satisfy the casual guest and the purist ?
There is a very casual post somewhere on Twitter where the guy who creates the more specialist merch at DLP basically saying he has no interest in making merch for Hyperspace Mountain and the original Space Mountain merch sells so... he makes original Space Mountain merch. With nothing to be interpreted about what he produces to make Euros versus what we want to happen.
And then there's the IP mandate...
Go early (or late) and you may have it to yourself. Plus it’s best way to get decent photos/video !I couldn’t bring myself to cross that last time. Partly because we’d seen a family on it whose son (about 12) had started jumping on it and the Mum was left clinging on for dear life. It was like Indy.
Next time I will. Probably!
It just seems like their mentality over there is worlds away from WDW. They run the park as though they have great affection for it and enjoy crafting it and improving it. At WDW, it seems more a case of high-level executives making decisions, Imagineers doing the best they can, then all bets are off when it gets turned over to the local management team.
I wonder if it's because DLP doesn't want to spend enough money to actually create new attractions so they just end up needing to plus up what exists
