Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! is a planned accelerated drop tower dark ride attraction at Disney California Adventure that is scheduled to open in 2017.[1] The attraction will be a retheme of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, using the same infrastructure and ride system, but will instead be based on the Guardians of the Galaxy film series, and will include the characters Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Groot, and Rocket Raccoon, as well as The Collector.[1][2] It will open in conjunction with the release of the film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Development

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (2004 - 2017)

Announced at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con, the attraction will replace The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, which is scheduled to close on January 3, 2017.[1][3][4][5] It will be the first Disney attraction based on Marvel Comics characters in the United States, and may be followed by other Marvel-themed rides at Disney California Adventure.[6][7][8] Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, and Benicio del Toro will reprise their roles as Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, and The Collector, respectively.[9][10] Due to Marvel's 1994 contract with Universal Parks & Resorts (pre-dating Disney's 2009 purchase of Marvel Entertainment), the Marvel name is not allowed to be used as part of the ride's title or advertising.[11]

Plot

The attraction will be based in the Collector's fortress-esque collection, as seen in the film Guardians of the Galaxy. Tivan will be showing off his latest acquisitions, the Guardians of the Galaxy, in customized display cases. However, Rocket has secretly escaped his case and asks the guests for help. Guests will then board a gantry lift, where they help Rocket try to free the other Guardians.[1]
