Does anyone have a hint as to when it might be SM again? I'm trying to schedule a trip either early Nov, or early Dec.

Personally I wouldn't have a problem with Hyperspace Mountain being up as long as it has been if they just worked on the projections a little bit more. On the ride I can see the edges of screens used to display the ships and the effects really just look like ships on TV's or being projected onto the wall. I like the energy the soundtrack gives as I love Star Wars and I love the concept of the ride being like a dogfight in space in the Star Wars universe, I just wish Disney would make it a separate ride and go all out on the effects or invest the time and money into figuring out how to get better effects into Space Mountain while still having them removable to return the ride back to Space Mountain.

I almost want to believe that once RotR opens, TDA will look seriously into scrapping Hyperspace and Star Tours but that might be a little naive.
Though once RotR opens, I don't see there being a need for Star Wars to be in other parts of the park. RotR sounds like a hugely ambitious project, and Millennium Falcon is Star Tours 2.0.

I think Hyperspace is too popular for them to get rid of completely. I think what needs to happen is a set schedule like the other overlays. Run it January through April, say, take it down for a week or however long they need between overlays, FULLY RESTORE THE ORIGINAL EFFECTS and let it be OG Space Mountain the rest of the year. If that was the case I think way less people would have issue with it.
As much as I would love the scaling back of Star Wars, it just won't happen under current leadership unless the popularity of the franchise just plummets and lasts for a sustained period of time.

I'd be curious to see the average wait time for Hyperspace vs normal Space.
With HMH, even though I hate it, it's undeniable that it boosts the attractions popularity for the few months it's in (though, I also wonder how much of that is because the parks are simply busier during the holidays). Hyperspace? I'm not sure... The wait times don't seem any longer then when it's vanilla Space.

Mmmmm... let's just have it take place during the month of May and call it fair
Unfortunately the problem is that it's Hyperspace for seasons / years at a time.Ditto. TDA keeps calling it "popular" but.. i mean right now it sits at a 25 minute wait. Relative to the rest of the park, that's not bad, but it's not "popular" either.

I imagine it’ll last until the summer season.

There’s nothing ironic about liking one overlay and disliking another.

It makes perfect sense. It defines what irony is.

It doesn’t.
If McQueen said something to the likes of all of the rides should never change and all overlays suck, yet somehow they enjoyed and preferred HMH, then it would be ironic. They never said anything like that.
According to your perceived logic, if one dislikes Pooh, then they should also dislike the other Fantasyland-style dark rides.

The only overlay that isn't offensively bad is it's a small world holiday, since the themes of Christmas and the holidays mesh really well with the message of it's a small world. It actually enhances the message of the ride, and creates a really charming experience that's distinctly Disneyland.
Hyperspace and HMH are both detrimental to the ride experience- everything from flow, story, and lighting are ruined in those overlays. Not to mention, NBC and Star Wars work with those two attractions only in the loosest way possible. I have similar issues with Incredicoaster and Guardians.

Incorrect. From Merriam-Webster: "The third, and debated, use of irony regards what’s called situational irony. Situational irony involves a striking reversal of what is expected or intended" it IS ironic because he defended HMH passionatly against my hatred for it and now he has a hatred for the overlay of another classic ride in which many seem to enjoy that overlay.
