Best things to do at Hong Kong Disneyland

Hyperspace Mountain

There’s no other ride at Hong Kong Disneyland more thrilling than Hyperspace Mountain. Formerly known as Space Mountain, the fast-paced ride has been rebranded and updated to incorporate a Star Wars storyline – Disney truly getting their money’s worth from the franchise. Located in Tomorrowland, this indoor roller coaster blasts you along plenty of tight turns and loops as you dodge blaster shots fired between X-wings and imperial Tie fighters. Hate to queue? Lucky for you, fast passes

Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars

This relatively new addition to the theme park is a popular one for thrill seekers. Think of it as a tamer version of Ocean Park’s Mine Train, Big Grizzly features plenty of big twists, dips, faux explosions and a, spoiler alert, surprise reverse backward drop and where they take a cheeky photograph. Head over to the wild west themed Grizzly Gulch to find this electrifying adventure.

Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple

This attraction is perfect for any younglings. Here, kids get the chance to don Jedi robes complete with lightsabers, hop on stage as part of a mini performance and spar against Darth Vader himself.

Starts at 8.30pm every night, you can buy your own Mickey Glow Mitt or Minnie Glow Bow, which lights up in time to the music and the light effects on the performers.

Much like the Star Wars franchise, Disney is now the proud parent of all things Marvel and this latest attraction: the Iron Man Experience. Put on a pair of 3D glasses and hop on board this stationary ride and experience flying around Hong Kong with the metal-garbed superhero. Expect plenty of drops, rapid motion manoeuvres and exciting sensory effects. Remember to grab photos at the Stark Expo exhibition halls featuring special Iron Man suits and gadgets as well as Avengers memorabilia.
