Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout announced for Disney California Adventure

At least the zip line at WDW is not as notable to the audience.

I have to disagree with you i think the zip line is less noticeable in California

I've never had an issue with construction going on where it's visible to everyone...I mean, the complete redo of DCA would have been considered "bad show" but we came out much better in the end.

Well, when DCA was originally built, they were very careful with the sight lines within Disneyland's Berm, so once you entered Main Street, you lost the construction mess unless the Monorail was up and running, or from the Main Street Train Station.

Now the Disneyland Hotel got some major construction issues during the conversion to a Resort, as did guests parking and getting to the Main Gate, but once you entered, it was almost impossible to see anything.

Now, as for the DCA Redo, well, DCA 1.0 and later 1.x's were a mess so how could you screw up an already bad show?

Didn't Walt want an r/c Tinker Bell flying low around Fantasyland until the lawyers said no.

Bad show or a bad park?

The new trailer for the next GotG movie dropped today. Maybe there are some hints about the Tower re-furb.

 

[SSG]

I think the Baby Groot shown at the end of the trailer will be a pretty popular toy.

 

[Phroobar]

GOTGv2 in the summer and SW ep8 for Christmas. What more could anyone ask for?

 

[SuddenStorm]

That hallway in the beginning of the trailer reminds me of the Millenium Falcon.

So, did anybody catch this from over on the Florida side of these boards?

The plan to enclose the openings at the top of the elevator shafts for a projected finale' show scene in Anaheim has been scrapped. I'll let someone with more intimate knowledge pick up the tale. "It's been discovered that DCA's existing structure can't handle the load required to extend the building out far enough for an enclosed room and also meet California's strict earthquake building codes in time for a May '17 opening. The upper doors will flash open to a view of the resort much like they do now, and the show has now been rewritten with dialogue that mentions Disneyland being on the horizon before the doors close and the elevator drops again. The concept of an enclosed show scene at the top of the shafts may make it to Florida's version, only because the building codes are easier to work with in Florida. The DCA crew is already taking notes on what will and will not translate to Florida's version of the ride."

If true, this sounds like a fairly major change to the "story" they had planned. Would any of our in-the-know locals care to comment on this?

Excuse me, Doesn't Universal own the rights to the Marvel Characters east of the Mississippi????

>>ome have argued that Disney could use Marvel characters that are not related to the ones Universal currently is using (Hulk, Fantastic Four, Spiderman, X-Men, and Dr. Doom), but Disney has yet to do this outside of a short-lived meet and greet with Starlord and Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy that was featured during a special event last August. That 5 hour event has been the only pure Marvel thing that we’ve seen within Walt Disney World and even then, they were very careful how the two characters were presented.

The lack of in-park attractions for updated Marvel characters such as Guardians, Ant-Man and others, point to larger issues with the contract, one that both sides likely recognize. <<

>>With an airtight contract many seem to believe that Universal won’t be giving up any rights to the Marvel attractions. <<

Wow; if that is true then its rank incompetence to not be aware of what the building codes will allow. You’d think one of the early questions in the re-theme planning would be ‘are we allowed to do this?’

And now the Guardians will say “hey look; Disneyland” during the ride?

 

[Phroobar]

Star Lord loves Disneyland.

But hey, if they're gonna mention Disneyland at least now the ride makes "sense" to be where its at! /sarcasm

If this is indeed true, that's a MAROR "oops" on top of an already troubled existence.

 

[Phroobar]

Someone didn't talk to their building engineer. I wonder if the SWL engineer is the same guy.

I get the sarcasm, but that is goofy enough to be the plan. Expect a new video of Joe Rohde explaining how the Collector has set up his warehouse/oil rig in DCA.

Haha, I know...that's whats really scary.

Two of the major playas on the WDW side of this site say they can use GOTG. I have seen your post's analysis as well as another site's look at the contract from a lawyer's point of view stating the same about no Marvel in FL. I'm not convinced it's a done deal but one of hope on Disney's part.

One aspect worth mentioning is a signage change recently at Disney Springs. The Superhero Headquarters store is now branded as the Marvel Superhero Headquarters. Maybe some changes were made to the contract?

 

[Deleted member 107043]

Was it ever confirmed by Disney that the elevator doors wouldn't open at the top? I can't remember.

Re: Marvel Store, wouldn't that be an exception since the shop is in a mall and not inside a park?

Guardians of the Galaxy are not covered by the Universal contract and can be used at WDW. There may be other characters that fall outside of the agreement as well.
