They should have "left" it alone, right?

Right, cause if they didn't know what was right and what was wrong, then obviously should have left it as it was, and had something more useless and left to rot like A Bug's Land and had it left California Adventure for good.

IMO, it would have made the most sense to make it a Spider Man themed ride instead of GotG. The skyscraper tower design would fit better (Daily Bugel in NY) and they could still use it to promote a new movie (they would actually have more time too). The ride theme would work as Spider Man could be pulling you up through the tower with his web, but various villains are launching you down the tower. I hope Disney does something creative with Spider Man in the parks, but I think this would have been a great idea, and would not have felt too shoehorned in. I know it doesn't fit with the California theme, but honestly that theme was going to die either way, and honestly for the better (although that doesn't mean the theming of some existing lands should go, as many of them still work).
I would have just made West Coast Avengers....but I don't think a Disney BoD would go that route

The issue is that opens up the can of worms that is "unfamiliarity". Disney can only go so obscure with their attractions, especially with limited space. GotG isn't even that deserving, yet it's the first to get an attraction.

They could have made A Bugs Land into an Ant Man mini-land since that fits with the California theme.
Also I would have been fine with keeping ToT...and designing a sort of west coast Avengers headquarters theme behind it, Tony Stark's house in Malibu, etc. But instead they pick a franchise that isn't even on earth let alone California.

I'm really enjoying some of the ideas being passed around in the last few pages. Don't worry, I haven't disappeared... I'm extremely busy at the moment, we are currently in the process of moving 'Aladdin The Musical' from Sydney to Melbourne.
I will stop in from time to time over the next week or so, and then will be back for some more Club 32 fun!
Cheers,

Making a California themed park in California was a poor and binding decision in the first place. It goes against what Disneyland is all about, "escape from the outside world",

To a certain extend yes, but i believe that the park was meant to treasure the Californian highlights in a more magical way, so that a guest could experience all or at least the majority of these highlights by visiting this park. Unfortunately the low budget led to mistakes in designand low quality rides. If only theyd just get back on track with their core themes but just spend more money in refurbishing and redesigning parts of the park ( also pointing at Hollywood Studios and Epcot here, although these mainly have problems due to some aspects of the park getting outdated and we are just getting the lazy solutions)

I can see this park becoming the Epcot of this coast. When you start deviating from a theme (that's in the name of the park: California Adventure) it feel like it's only a matter of time.
That's my biggest problem right there is that it sticks out like a sore thumb. If Disney is going to build something that can be seen from everywhere in the park, then they should at least try to blend it in so it doesn't break another area's theme.

I completely agree! Why did this get an attraction but not the Avengers?
I thought the movie was okay, but Agree here too! There's so much they could have done (especially since Bug's land is
). I'm sure the ride will be a hit but I would really like to know why this and why there? It really is a head scratcher for me.

Seeing this post put the song The Choice is Yours in my head. Now I can stop humming This or that, this or that.
Tangent aside, I keep waiting for the one on the right to transform into Voltron or something.

I actually think the Guardians Tower looks cool and while it's not California themed, California is stupid then for a park in California. Yeah, sightlines are an issue but no one complains that you can see Cinderellas castle in Frontierland. Is a warehouse in California more theme breaking than a fantasy castle in the old west?
Left obviously. Right, guys? Boo Guardians Tower.
