My stance on Mission Breakout has been pretty consistent; the re-worked ride experience looks fun; what little we've seen of the interior looks interesting; the exterior looks like hot garbage and doesn't fit the rest of Hollywoodland; and Hollywoodland will probably be gone in a few years, so I hope it will fit when it become Marvel Land.
It might make more sense if they re-themed the area to be based on a town/city in Missouri. As many here know, Walt Disney has some connections to Missouri form having lived there for some of his life. They changed Peter Quill to be from Missouri in the movies instead of from Colorado like in the comics. This is similar to how they seemed to have changed the Ant-Man characters Scott Lang and Hank Pym to live in California (I believe somewhere in or near San Francisco to be more specific) at the time when most of the movie takes place. Seemingly Hank Pym's company was in California in the past and at the time when most of the movie Ant-Man takes place. Of course Tony Stark has a house in California in the movies, but I believe he also had that in the comics at some point.
If they changed the area to be the town in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, that seemed to be somewhere in Missouri
and got partially destroyed,
They could make the general Boulevard area to be set in a retro time period like the 80s when Peter was abducted from Earth, the 30s to make it more similar to what the area in the park is currently like time-wise, or to a time period from when Walt lived in Missouri. I don't think they say where exactly the town is in the movie except that it's in Missouri, but they could say it's somewhere close to Marceline. Maybe that would be a bad move, though.
It might be appealing to make an area like this in the park to be based in a time period from before when most of GotG 2 takes place because then it would make some sense why some buildings would at least have different businesses from those that are seen in the movie and could conceivably also have some differences in appearance due to construction occurring in the town over time before the time period of the town as shown in GotG 2.
Apparently Peter's grandfather was going to be in GotG 2 at one point in the movie making process. Depending on how old he would have been in flashbacks, he is someone that could have been alive in the town in the 30's.
You can see some of the town they filmed in for the movie in this video and in pictures on various sites from when filming occurred:
The filming was actually in Cartersville, Georgia, not Missouri. You can see in the clip that there are train tracks that run through the town similar to how Sunset Boulevard has tram tracks. It has a movie theater right next to a row of other buildings similar to Sunset Boulevard. It also has an elevated roadway above the town that makes it similar to how California Adventure has the monorail running above part of it.
I can't remember how many of those features are actually visible in the movie except that I'm pretty sure that the movie theater can be at least briefly seen in the movie.
Edit: Then behind the tower they could possibly turn the area for parking into an area having to do more with Marvel stuff in space because people will have already gone through a transition from an Earth area to an outer space area. They could put more Guardians stuff, Ravagers stuff, Thor stuff, maybe even stuff from one or more of those, or something else.
If they put stuff based on Thor Ragnarok in that parking area and made the Boulevard area set in the 80s or 70s that might help them match up because based on the Ragnarok trailer, it seems like that movie might have somewhat of a retro feel to some of it kind of like what the GotG movies have had.
