Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout announced for Disney California Adventure

I think the fact is, at the end of the day its still Disney PR at work. Even if only 10 people showed up, Disney would spin it as a successful event and plan for more in the future.

I think you're confusing Disney with our country's president.

Aren't Iger and Trump good friends??

Not to talk badly about marketing people, but they really are the worst people ever. For a group that is supposed to be in touch with their market, they are the most clueless people on the face of the earth.

Probably because they aren't actually in touch with the "market" at all and are just taking marching orders from Chapek.

I'd like to know what the odds of this event underselling are, since this hasn't exactly been a popular project.

Disney fans have short memories...they tend to forget how much they hate it so they can still be first to ride it. If I had to bet, I'd say it will sell out pretty quickly.

It's even worse at WDW. All the fanbois that were ragin' about Frozen were first in line.

I bet. I feel like WDW has a bigger vlogging community that eats this stuff up, but I know DL's is growing. Events like this don't help.

I apologize if this has already been covered but are they turning the Tower of Terror into a Guardians of the Galaxy ride? Just stumbled onto this thread.

Actually, they're turning it into Tower of Terror 2: Too Towering Too Terrifying.

So T2T2 or T4?

Or they, you know, want to remain employed.

I think we cleared it up earlier that the upselling is Chapek's global directive, but the tired excecution and comical lameness we're seeing at DLR is someone else's doing.

CThe events that they've actually done indicate that they have zero idea how to make extra money off of fans and their creativity is lacking to a level that beggars belief.

But the fans seem to eat this stuff up. Seems they are making money without having to put out much effort or money.

Yeah, never been a comic book fan. I love the movies, but comic books just make me mad.

Try Maus, really. If you hate comics after reading that, you are a bad bad person. Or:
Sandman
Bone
Ghost World
Preacher
Scott Pilgrim
Y: The Last Man
Sin City
Cartoon History of the Universe

Don't forget Manga.

This was in MiceChat today:

It now appears that all of the previews have in fact been canceled. The Walt Disney Imagineering family party on May 20th has been cancelled, the Cast Member ticketed previews from May 20th thru the 22nd have been cancelled, and the AP Previews scheduled for the 23rd and 24th have also been cancelled. There will be no formal previews of any kind, and only a limited number of Imagineers and DCA Cast Members will be allowed to ride before the 26th. This is all per Michael Colglazier, who wants to sell as many tickets as possible to the $150 up-charge event on the 26th and not have any info or videos leak about the new ride before the 26th.

I wish this was a joke.
I wish Disney was above this kind of greedy behavior.

I need to wake up.
