Disneyland is getting awaken this summer.
As Guests enter Hyperspace Mountain, a completely reimagined version of Tomorrowland’s classic attraction Space Mountain roller coaster, they will walk past a gigantic life-size X-wing starfighters, flight suits and pilot helmets on their way to try their skill as a rebel pilot. After a mission briefing from Admiral Ackbar, they will prepare to fly to outer space on a reconnaissance mission to survey an Imperial Star Destroyer spotted near desert planet Jakku – a desert planet featured in
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, which turns out to be a trap. Riders will thrill to the experience of an epic dogfight between Imperial TIE fighters and Rebel X-wing starfighters.
Guests can journey to a hidden Resistance base, the
Star Wars: Command Post, to meet legendary Wookiee warrior Chewbacca and resourceful astromech droid R2-D2. Look out for Captain Phasma who will lead a team of her Stormtroopers on a First Order patrol in Tomorrowland, searching for any signs of the Resistance.
Starting from June 25, aspiring younglings (aged 4-12) will be recruited to don Jedi robes and join a secret training session with Jedi masters on how to use the Force, and their wit, to wield lightsabers. “Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple” is a brand new entertainment experience adapted exclusively for Hong Kong Disneyland. After the training, they will use their new skills to duel Darth Vader from the
Star Wars saga, the Seventh Sister Inquisitor from
“Star Wars Rebels”, and use the Force to fend off Kylo Ren from “
Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
