Face to face … with Darth Vader

AHEAD of the seventh #StarWars movie, ‘The Force Awakens’, Disney has opened new attractions at its theme parks. 

The ‘Star Wars Launch Bay’ is now open at #Disneyland Park in California and Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida, providing a ‘multi-sensory space’ in which guests can interact with Star Wars characters. Designed for fans of the film franchise, the areas include movie memorabilia and replicas of Star Wars props, along with video games and merchandise.

Visitors can come face-to-face with Darth Vader in a 360-degree area based on a Star Destroyer, or visit the famous Cantina at Mos Eisley spaceport – described in the original movie as a ‘wretched hive of scum and villainy’. The Launch Bay Theater meanwhile, will allow guests to hear directly from the creative minds behind the Star Wars saga in a short video.

Star Wars Launch Bay is also being introduced at Shanghai Disneyland Resort, which is scheduled to open next year.

Also now open at the two US parks is ‘Star Wars: Path of The Jedi’, where visitors can watch a short film celebrating Star Wars in a theatre setting, and ‘Star Tours – The Adventures Continue’, which takes guests to Star Wars destinations.

‘Hyperspace Mountain’ is a re-modelled version of Disney’s classic Space Mountain attraction, depicting a battle between Rebel X-wings and Imperial Tie fighters.
