All right, so it'd need a better name, but who doesn't want to see a Star Wars ride that shares the premise of Space Mountain? Space Mountain is a space-themed indoor roller-coaster that essentially takes place in a huge, blackened dome. The dome itself is barely lit in order to look and feel as if the rider is hurtling through space, with tiny dots of light representing stars and various planetary and lunar illuminations throughout.

Taking what Space Mountain does and applying Star Wars to it seems like an incredibly logical step, and would appeal to people who want to experience a real coaster rather than a simulation. How amazing would it be to burst into darkness only to be greeted by the site of an enormous Death Star looming in the distance? While approaching, the cart could whiz past Tie Fighters and other imperial spacecraft.

Not only that, but the ride could also use the famous asteroid belt scene from The Empire Strikes Back as inspiration – how exhilarating would it be to dive and climb around an obscured track while dodging incoming asteroids?
