It’s no secret that Disney Parks domestic are bracing for unprecedented crowds to descend on the Disneyland Resort and Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the respective grand openings of the new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge expansion. Already, we’ve seen announcements of measured entrance into the new lands and even Project Stardust to help the parks brace for the crowds. Disney California Adventure is also rushing open a clone of Mickey’s Philharmagic to help soak up crowds around the Resort.
Now, we have even more surprising announcements with the confirmation that Disneyland will launch a new campaign called ROCKIN’ HYPERSPACE MOUNTAIN.
Rockin’ Hyperspace Mountain
Guests will strap in to a revamped Star Wars-themed Hyperspace Mountain for a new ROCKIN’ campaign centered around the music of the late David Bowie. The new Rockin’ Hyperspace Mountain will feature new projections and an all-new soundtrack set to a retro-futuristic remixed version of the rock classic “Rebel Rebel.”
Long-time Disney fans will remember that after Disneyland’s landmark 50th Anniversary, a ROCKIN’ summer campaign brought Red Hot Chili Peppers soundtracks to both Space Mountain and California Screamin’ attractions.
