Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout announced for Disney California Adventure

[SSG]

UPCHARGE!

Worth it.

 

[Earl Sweatpants]

Wouldn't it be awesome if they completely caught us off guard and announced the BATB E ticket from Tokyo? Or just something that hasn't even been leaked at all?

I would love some unexpected announcement! Something they've been working on under wraps for a long time that not even the insiders are aware of. A guy can dream, right?

UPCHARGE!

So many jokes to make...must remember this is a family site.

That's why I left it at that.

You're in Hollywood! (don't look left or right)

Peggy Carter and Captain America!

Found this to be relevant since there is no dedicated forthcoming Marvel Land thread...
Borrowed this from MiceChat. They have a whole article on the future hopes of DCA in regards
to Marvel.

One of the original reports had the coaster on the north side with an Iron Man ride (simulator?). Now the coaster is to the south again but what will take up the space on the north side now? I'd love to see multiple attractions (2 E's and 2-3 C or D rides). This would really make the Marvel land spectacular. All they'd need to deal with would be the Hyperion theater.

I vaguely remember the coaster being pegged for the northern point too at one point. Who knows. With GOTG, the E-Ticket coaster hybrid, an Iron Man simulator would fit in there and perhaps some sort of elaborate action-stunt show? The mice chat article also made mention of a day-party-thing. Maybe something akin to the Jedi Academy? Avengers Academy?

Can I get a lap dance from Black Widow?

I'd buy that for a dollar!

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

I say put the Mickey ride in Paradise Pier if the can't fit it in Hollywoodland.

Wake me when the schematics are updated to include the demolition of A Bug's Land. *fingers crossed*

That's a great point. I am curious what appeal A Bug's Life still holds for most people. Beside it being the "kiddie zone" of the park, are people actually clamoring to experience it for what it is?

In all fairness, I may hold a special grudge against it though because the one time I did a Mouse Adventure, my team got stymied on a challenge trying to calculate the weight of all the food containers on the spinning attraction...just pure evil.

The land is well excecuted in the context of what it was designed to do: add more kid friendly activities and flavor in a park that was bereft of both when it opened. Now that DCA has gained in popularity, has more diverse offerings, and a strong identity, the area is easily dispensable.

Bugs Land is a perfect example of why I feel it's silly for people to get SOOOO hung up on theming. Yes, it's important, but not THE most important thing about an area/attraction. Bugs Land is perfectly themed, but who cares because it's not fun at all.

You mean you don't have a blast on Tuck n Roll? WDI's finest achievement since what, Pirates 1967?

Bug's land has the same function as Toon Town. Its a place for the little ones to play and go on some not too thrilling rides. To us both are considered a waste of space (except RRCS). However they are needed.

LOL. I kind of take pride in the fact that I have never ridden any of the attractions in A Bug's Land.

Don't get me wrong, it's cute, and some of the designs are clever, but with the addition of gentle attractions that the entire family can enjoy like TSMM, The Little Mermaid, The Red Car Trolley, and Luigi's Rollicking Roadsters plus World of Color, the need for an entire realm specifically devoted to small children is unnecessary, especially with expansion space so restricted at DCA.

Toontown doesn't raise the bar much further than A Bug's Land, and with the exception of Cartoon Spin it's as equally expendable in the context of all the family attractions the resort has to offer.

Haha I hear you. I had to ride them all once just so I could say I did. As we discussed before I would be totally cool with them replacing Bugs land with a nice people eating, family friendly E ticket which DCA could use. My thing is I have this innate thing about losing green. Real or fake, it bothers me. I hate losing lush theming. So if Bugs land does go I hope it would replaced with something highly themed. Like I keep saying give us the POTC or HM of DCA. Whatever that is. With the the It's tough to be a bug theatre going underground and being a pretty decent size I would imagine that being part or most of the show building for a nice E ticket.

But even then you just lost 4 "attractions" and 1 pretty good show for 1 ride. So from an operational stand point the new attraction would have to be family friendly and people eating.

I think it would be the perfect spot for a boat ride at DCA. But give us Shangai pirates ride system.

LOL I wish we had a photo of all four of our faces when we finally rode on Tuck n Roll our last trip, and we all simultaneously realized how SLLLLLOOOOWWW they go. I don't care how old you are, they are slow.

Absolutely ridiculously slow.
