Akin to putting some ugly wrap on a Lamborghini.. IMO

Thanks to this article, we now know when they are planning on switching back to regular Space Mountain.

Flash forward. Strong is now an Executive Creative Director at Walt Disney Imagineering, most recently leading the transformation of Space Mountain into Hyperspace Mountain for Season of the Force in 2016, as well as similar transformations in Hong Kong Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. Most recently,Hyperspace Mountain was brought back to Disneyland Resort for a limited time (and will remain until June 3!). We got the chance to talk to Brent about what it’s like to make this stellar transformation to one of the most iconic Disney Parks attractions of all time.

There's also a few cool bits and pieces in this article.

"Surprisingly enough, implementing all of these changes to the soundtrack and effects are no longer the most lengthy part of the process. While the initial concept took about twelve months to design, test, and launch, the transformation of the attraction itself from Space Mountain to Hyperspace Mountain only takes one hour!"


"“The longest part of switching from classic Space Mountain to Hyperspace Mountain is actually putting up the marquee in front of the attraction.” Who knew?!"
