Star Wars: Hyperspace Mountain Gets Dazzling New Nighttime Lighting at Disneyland Paris
On the outside at least, the iconic Discoveryland attraction has never looked better!
Star Wars: Hyperspace Mountain – or if you’re a longtime Disneyland Paris fan, Space Mountain: De la Terre à la Lune – has debuted stunning new nighttime lighting, breathing new life into the impressive structure.
What’s Happening:
- After debuting last month, we were finally able to check out the excellent new nighttime lighting for Star Wars: Hyperspace Mountain in Discoveryland at Disneyland Paris.
- The new lighting concept involved several weeks of programming throughout the summer, including “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."
- The new light display features about 48,000 lighting points, offering new possibilities to the creative team of the destination.
- Perhaps the most impressive element is when the vehicles are launched from the Columbiad Cannon and into the mountain. The vehicles seem to disappear, while a strand of lights reaching toward the sky continues the vehicles’ path.
- Bright lights also point towards the stars, perfectly translating the attraction’s theme into the new lighting.
- The update was done in conjunction with the 30th anniversary of the Discoveryland attraction – though it has had three different incarnations through the decades, leading up to the current Hyperspace Mountain Star Wars-themed overlay.
