The ride vehicle becomes a fighter in an X-wing squadron that gets involved in a battle with a Star Destroyer.
When the park wants to put an extra emphasis on Star Wars, the ride gets a reskin and a name change to Hyperspace Mountain.
Projections of other ships are shown on the walls, lighting effects are added to create the appearance of laser blasts, and radio chatter is heard over the ride vehicle speakers.
It’s pretty remarkable how immersive it is considering it’s just a reskin over an older ride.
