The ride currently running at Disneyland has riders also fly through a dogfight, passing by video of X-Wing and TIE fighters. When you think of it, a roller-coaster ride of a starship dogfight is pretty fantastic. One user channel, Guitar Covers Inc., has been playing the game for a while, and just released a video of a coaster that re-creates the attack against the Death Star from Star Wars: A New Hope. Released by Frontier Developments last year, Planet Coaster is an amusement park simulator in which players create their own roller coasters, a sort of spiritual successor to the RollerCoaster Tycoon games. It’s neat, but this fan-made Planet Coaster creation puts Hyperspace Mountain to shame. Unlike Star Tours, the newly named Hyperspace Mountain is a classic ride retrofitted with projections of Star Destroyers and X-Wings. While Disney constructs its massive 14-acre Star Wars-themed addition to Disneyland in Anaheim, California, guests have turned to a modified version of Space Mountain for their Star Wars fix.
