Different opinions are welcomed here, dont be shy! (unlike some other areas of the forum)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.
If that's your actual opinion, I totally support it. I don't think the issue is the theming of the attraction in the park, but rather the design of the building and the placement of GotG in the ToT. The IP doesn't really fit the drop tower style attraction. That's why I said Spider Man would make the most sense (NY skyscraper tower, and the webs acting as the cables pulling you up in the scenario of the ride). I'd honestly rather see Disney make a brand new Spider Man ride from scratch, but it still would've made sense. This is why it baffles me that Disney wanted to put GotG in UoE spot rather than retheme or redo it on Mission Space's pavilion. That would have made perfect sense!I actually think the Guardians Tower looks cool and while it's not California themed, California is stupid then for a park in California.

Lol I know, I was just playing hahaDifferent opinions are welcomed here, dont be shy! (unlike some other areas of the forum)
I agree Spider-Man wouldve been a better fit, but id imagine Disney doesnt want to make a Spiderman ride since it would be compared to the one at Islands which is considered one of the best theme park attractions to this day. If they do Spidey, Disney has to make it unquestionably better than the ride at Islands.
Yeah, it's all cool until they touch our tower.
(Please don't touch WDW's tower, Disney.)
The one thing I will give GotG in DCA is....the ride is not as good as the WDW version of Tower, so an overhaul isn't shedding a tear from me. It's just the current location, though if a full-fledged Marvel land comes with it -- then it might make more sense. Just Hollywoodland right now is a mess.
If they touch the WDW ToT.Yeah, it's all cool until they touch our tower.
I was shocked and heartbroken by the closure and "re-imagining" of the Imagination ride, but if they did something similar to WDW's tower, that would rank right up there in "devastation".If they touch the WDW ToT.
It would be even more heartbreaking than Imagination...because it wouldn't just be an interior change. It would have ramifications throughout all of WDW.
Yeah, that's when I'll freak out!Yeah, it's all cool until they touch our tower.
I've only been on it once (first time on my last trip) and I loved it!
I agree. That would be the signal that Disney no longer cares.It would be even more heartbreaking than Imagination...because it wouldn't just be an interior change. It would have ramifications throughout all of WDW.
The WDW Tower has basically become an icon. When we drive in, that's a landmark. The Tower advertisement in the middle island as you drive up is classic now. And it can be seen from a variety of locations in WDW
Tower was designed with Morocco in mind, so that it would blend in to the background. To change it just means that they don't care about aesthetics anymore...it's all about turning a profit...which doesn't make sense considering that Tower is one of the top 3 most popular rides in DHS.
It'd make sense if it was an average/below average attendance attraction (like Universe of Energy even though I have problems with that too) but to overhaul Tower makes no sense even from a business standpoint. How many more people would ride Guardians vs the already popular ToT?
It is one of the few immersive rides that I've ever been on. From it's placement in the back, to the queue, music, and gift shop. I got a tour one time of this area and most of the books in the gift shop are not fake props but real books from the correct time periods and the perfume on the top shelves are real perfume bottles from the time (some with the original perfume still in it). The photo area desk has "real" newspapers in the tray with the top one mentioning Hitler invading Poland. It's all period correct. That is some true detailing there.Yeah, that's when I'll freak out!
It would make about as much sense as retheming Splash. Wasting money and resources that could be spent on making MORE attractions which WDW desperately needs.It would be even more heartbreaking than Imagination...because it wouldn't just be an interior change. It would have ramifications throughout all of WDW.

Totally agree.
Just thought I'd post this here considering our project
Great job!
If they touch the WDW ToT.
