Also, a fireworks show would effect the entire park not just a Star Wars Land. And I am STOKED about the SSW fireworks and extra weekend! I just wish I could change my reservations a tad and leave Sunday night instead of Saturday night on the last weekend.

Originally Posted By Autopia Deb MMC, where does it say the Hyperspace Hoopla is going away? It's daytime entertainment so a fireworks show should have no effect on it.
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb Well, it's a cute show and all, but I won't miss it. On our only previous trip to SSW we skipped it all together. I personally would rather have a fire works show. Naturally others may feel differently.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I saw Hyperspace Hoopla several years ago, when it was still on the Jedi Training Academy stage. In a small venue like that, it really worked like a cabaret act; from the videos I've seen of it by the hat, it just didn't translate well to a larger audience. It's always been very popular (and has a huge cast), so I understand why they moved it, but it's a shame it didn't work Hyperspace Hoopla has always been seen as the end-of-day nightcap for Star Wars Weekends. I'd be really surprised if they kept it around with the addition of the fireworks show Hopefully this means that they won't have that ugly temporary stage blocking the out-of-place hat
