In this post, we’ll take a look at the language change, why it was likely added, and more. This new
Hyperspace Mountain is returning for another limited run beginning on April 29, 2022. The overlay is coming back just in time for Star Wars Day (May the 4th) and one week after several major nighttime spectaculars return to Disneyland Resort.

As explained in our List of Best Snacks in Magic Kingdom, the iconic Orange Bird treat is even superior to the (arguably) overrated Dole Whip.
