Correct the external date is Summer 2017. Internally this equals Memorial Day being the start of summer, but it gives room for any delays

Why can't they do this to the tower while it being rethemed? At the very least they could show Disney movies on it.
Here's another for the grand opening.

maybe they should project the tower facade on it while it is under construction or maybe start getting people used to the new look and project the new facade on the structure ;-)

If Mission Breakout doesn't do well Disney could create a new original Tower of Terror with Adam Horowitz & Edward Kristis creating a original plot & story to the attraction.

Not going to happen. And it's "Kitsis."

Or they could plug in an Atari 2600 and let guests play Super Breakout on the giant projected screen.

Okay and just a suggestion for a darker plot like the Tokyo Disneysea Tower of Terror.

Got it. Just didn't understand the reference.

Did Tom and Huck draw this sign or...? What is the theme here? Do we know? Does Disney know?

I think it's supposed to be Rocket judging by the footprints?

The OC Register got a preview tour on Thursday, here is the news article...
http://www.ocregister.com/articles/ride-741710-guardians-marvel.html
>>Not much is left of the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Brown tarp and scaffolding cover the 199-foot structure. Most of the inside has been gutted. There’s rubble on the floor. The tower’s basement, where visitors were led to the elevator ride, will remain and be rethemed to match the Guardian story.<<
>>Like Tower of Terror, the ride takes visitors up and down. But Rohde said the Guardian ride will have a faster pace and feature “multiple” programs. Rock and roll music, some from the movie, will play overhead.
“No ride will be alike,” Rohde said. “There will be multiple combinations.”
The ride will have the same capacity as Tower of Terror and about the same time, maybe 2 minutes, he guesses. Although construction is well underway, there are still design and other modifications to consider, he said.<<
In the twitter feed the Register did on Thursday, they stated that Joe mentioned the elevator doors might not always open on the upper level....

Those are raccoon footprints. I assume it's Rocket, and not the raccoons who live on Tom Sawyer Island.

Ah, good call. Didn't see the footprints.

So from reading that OC register article, it sounds like their will be a lot going on in the indoor queue. Being that the article mentioned that the boiler room will be staying the same (predictable), looks like the outdoor queue may become part of the indoor queue? Seems hard to believe that the former hotel lobby and library(s) is enough room for the collectors artifacts, large screen where the collector talks to us and meeting Rocket.
Unless there is some room to expand on the backside of the building that I am not aware or the lobby / library(s) footprint is more space then I realize.

Strange they would keep the boiler room the same.

I actually predicted this on one of these threads a few months ago (probably this one). Judging by the nature (laziness) of this project, it just made sense to me that the boiler room was close enough to the oil refunery/ power plant theme that they wouldn't bother spending the time or money to change it.
EDIT: and the fact that I was right kind of bugs me and says a lot about this project. Not only are they shoehorning GOTG in the tower but they probably came up with this oil refinery / power plant spiel specifically so they didn't have to alter the boiler room and meet their Summer 2017 timeline. And of course for the facade to make sense with as little work as possible.

Where did you see that? The article says, "The basement, where visitors were once led to the elevator-style ride, will be rethemed to match the Guardian story". I took that to mean that it will be redone.
If this is true then maybe the footprint of the gift shop will be reconfigured. Isn't it behind the old lobby?
