I didn't see anyone specifically commenting on this? Here's the brief description from the Disney website:
"Guests also will also climb aboard Hyperspace Mountain, a reimagining of the classic Space Mountain attraction, in which guests will join an X-wing Starfighter battle."
Will it just be Space Mountain with light images of TIE fighters running across the roof?

It's an overlay. There will be projections and music. Not a huge makeover, but I'm sure fun nonetheless.

A permanent overlay or just for special occasions?

Just temporary. To be running during Season of the Force, which will debut some time "early 2016". No further details regarding dates or length.
But, I can tell you I will be there to ride it on the first day it comes online! This sounds great!

Temporary, or maybe occasionally is a better phrase. It will run during Season of the Force, which will apparently be a hard ticket event.

Hard ticket? Noooooo!

Also, I think this is only at DLR not WDW.

OK, I didn't catch that. Good to know. I do LOVE Space Mountain at DL. I had the opportunity to ride with the Ghost Galaxy layover. These are super cool effects. I hope I get the same chance with this special.

I don't know how they'd do an overlay (or a good one) at WDW, since music is such a big part of it. With the built in speakers on the ride vehicles at DL, it's such a different experience.
Agreed. DLR SM is far superior to WDW SM.
Oh what a bummer that this won't be at WDW :( I actually am going to Disneyland in two weeks and it's a shame that this wont' be going on then. Man, what a ride that would be...with Star Wars music... why did I have to read this post...now I'm sad... I guess a whole StarWars land 2 hours from me will just have to make up for it! ;)

Has it been that way for years? Maybe a future refurb for Space Mountain?

WDW SM has had a refurb since DL had theirs. There were hopes it would be the same at WDW, but it's not.
