We had a very successful Media Event and Opening Day over at Disney California Adventure for Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout. For those that don't know, it replaced a very popular attraction called The Twilight Zone - The Tower of Terror, which was an accelerated drop ride. You still ride it at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, which the people that ride drop rides say its the better of the two. Tower of Terror was one of the best themed attractions, so when it was announced it was closing to make way for a ride based off the Guardians of the Galaxy, a lot of Disney Parks fans were upset. I have to say; although I don't ride dropping rides, people should no longer be upset, because Mission Breakout is awesome!
You enter Taneleer Tivan's, aka The Collector, fortress of articfacts and things he has collected. The first thing you go through is his musuem, which has cases of things that includes Marvel and Disney Parks easter eggs
In here is Figment from the Journey Into Imagination attraction at Epcot. Figment has his own line of comic books that Marvel has produced in the past few years.
Ultron sentry
This is really freakin cool....a painting of The Collector AND The Gamekeeper, played by Jeff Goldblum
As you walk past his collections, you enter his office, which is the pre-show. There he talks to you about his latest gallery, which happens to Starlord, Gamora, Drax, Baby Groot, and Rocket...but suddenly he gets interrupted by none other than...
Rocket freakin Raccoon who broke out of his case and tells the guests in the room that he needs our help breaking out the rest of Guardians by using our handprints to enter the Gentry Lifts so that it can lift him up!
From there, there are projections of the Guardians breaking out and fighting giant space aliens as you are dropping over and over. There are 6 different simulations, depending on the song you get at the beginning of the attraction
People are loving it!
