Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout announced for Disney California Adventure

I know The Twilight Zone is gone, but I still feel like I'm in it.

We all are.

Whether it looks more interesting or not. It still does not belong in 1930s Hollywood.

That close up picture I posted does sort of remind me of Mary Blairesque style art, Hans.

Glad I'm not the only one who sees it. To me the facade is very Disney in an intangible but specific way that everyone understands but can rarely articulate.

It's more vomit than Disney.

It's A Small World of Junk?

If Mission: BO was it's own thing and actually fit in a kind of imaginative scrap heap land I would actually be kind of interested in all of this. Much better than watching one of my favorite attractions get butchered for a lame overlay no one asked for.

If only this was an overlay, rather than a literal replacement.

Its arguments like this that really prove your point the best. There is literally nothing I can say in response to this.

Something about all the different shapes and colors coming together like that on one facade.

Then what's the problem? Imagine, if you will, that this overlay is the boldest , most imaginative episode yet. Stranger things have happened in The Twilight Zone. Do do do do, do do do do!!!

Well therein lies the humor in all this... So many of the same people who complained about DCA having such a dumb theme (celebrating California landmarks within driving distance of the real thing) are now the ones complaining about having that theme violated. Personally, I think the biggest mistake Disney made with DCA 2.0 was to not drop the California. It was the one opportunity they had break free from it and they missed it.

I still believe the geography of California is so broad that it works for the park. The smart part of the re-do was to give us a DISNEY version of California. It’s a unique layer that make Mermaid and Toy Story on the pier work. Or Walt's version of LA work.


We all know that for whatever reason the Hollywood area was left a mess and not touched too much other than Red cars and some awkward modern day references in signage and props. I assume they knew a major rework of that area's adjacent backstage was coming with the build out of a 2nd parking deck. Whatever.


So as long as we get a "studio" for superheroes or something along that lines to be the over arch of the Marvel theme with a mini Hollywood land adjacent to it I think it can be ok. We will see. It’s all in the execution. I am not a Marvel fan and really don’t care about the films or characters. I just want the theme area to be well executed and not harm the park. I am one of those Disney purists who is OK with Star Wars in DL. I think the amount of one to make the area amazing and the effort to HIDE the area from other parts of DL make it all ok. If marvel is done with the same 2 values in mind then it will be ok.

I agree...it's like a bizarre "kaboom" version of the small world facade.

 

[MisterPenguin]

The pic with Carthay in the foreground makes me sick.

Well, since we've been told in this thread that one of the problems of the new ToT facade is that it's too flat (!), then I agree with you that that picture is sickening. Look how flat are so many of the surfaces of the Carthay!

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

Its certainly a busier facade than what was there before. The attraction itself had better be worth it! And the whole land for that matter.

 

[Phroobar]

I don't see the Marvel BRAND on that cover,

Oh brother! I said that the building itself is too flat. I'm starting to really like the new facade, but I still don't prefer the overall big cookie shaped building. Are you ever going to be able to get over this?

Me and my son recently checked this out of the library:

I wonder if there might be some kinetic features. Do the pipes move? Will there be smoke coming out of them?

I never even thought of that! That would be amazing! And add to the Small World meets superhero feel.

It won't be.

It's official Hans, Emily just agreed that it reminds her of Small World too! And she never agrees with me! lol
Someday we're going to read that one of the imagineers was inspired by Mary Blair and you're going to deserve a huge prize.
