Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT! Reviews, Photos, Info

I was hesitant to watch because I hate spoilers, but I'm glad I did. I'm sold.

The way the elevator's movement is synced to the new more chaotic scene pauses gives a bit of a Star Tours simulator effect! To me this ride experience looks superior to ToT and appears to be a winner!

I guess so if you don't mind that they shoehorned a watered down version of Star Tours into Tower Of Terror. It's an interesting combination for sure but it's sad that they couldn't have come up with something more creative and without butchering a current popular attraction.

I'm guessing similar but different, just like the differences in Indiana Jones. A scene will be more Groot heavy rather than Drax heavy. A scene will have this creature attacking vs the other creature. Different quips and chess pieces, but the same basic concepts.

Maybe we'll have to wait and see. I'm also wondering if the different shafts will have different looks and feels, like different easter eggs.

...yet.

Are you aware of any franchise with a giant bear-shaped mountain in the works? Or a pier-side amusement park? Nope? Okay. Also, remember that these would need to be slam dunk properties, Disney doesn't theme lands/rides after films that aren't franchise fodder. Which is why we never got the rumored Atlantis ride nor Oz ride, nor will we see a John Carter land or Lone Ranger expansion to Frontierland.

So...Paradise Pier becomes an unimportant pier from Marvel? That's like having an area themed to a mall in Universal Studios because...uh...many Universal movies had scenes which happened in malls. Doesn't really work.

That's just an idea for a relatively easy retheme. Many of the Marvel movies have New York as an important area in the movies. There are many possible opportunities where Coney Island could come up in the future. We also don't actually know what happens in Spider-Man: Homecoming yet. It's not impossible that something important there could happen in the movei.

Something else I thought of is that making it modern Coney Island or themed after three other piers I mentioned before allows for the possibility of changing Ariel's grotto to be something that maybe makes more sense at its location if it would be changed to a Namor or Inhumans attraction. It could be some sort of diplomatic exhibition by the government of Atlantis or Atillan located in New York or California or it could be some of oceanic research center in New York or California that has some sort of interaction with Atlantis or Atillan that riders would experience on a ride.

"Attilan (also called The Hidden Land) – Home of the Inhumans. Originally an island in the North Atlantic Ocean, it has moved several times, including to the Andes, Himalayas, to the Blue Area on the Moon, the homeworld of the alien Kree, Hala. More recently Attilan was destroyed during the events of Infinity by Black Bolt when he detonates the Terrigen Bomb, the remains of Attilan now reside within New York, in the Hudson Estuary."

"Atlantis – Atlantis was a small continent with many human settlements. Over 21,000 years ago, an event called the "Great Cataclysm" caused it to be submerged into the sea. The inhabitants of ancient Atlantis built an enormous glass-like dome over the capital city, also known as Atlantis."

Don't rule out an Oz attraction or land. They have greenlit a sequel to Oz.

World of Pandora looks incredible (and expensive), Toy Story Playland appears to be the most elaborate one to date, and it goes without saying that SW Land will set a new bar for immersive theme park storytelling. Disney has a lot more ways to integrate GoTG and Marvel in Florida than it did in California and I think given the value of the IP they won't skimp when they decide to move forward.

Naturally anything is possible when we're speculating, but for Marvel IP in Florida but I'm expecting a much bigger statement than a redo of ToT. The Marvel expansion of TL at HKDL comes to mind:

Pandora is gorgeous, but already people are saying its a little underwhelming overall. The Banshee encounter doesn't hold a candle to the Oleander's experience, there's only one shop and not much to do in the land interactively. Navi River Journey is pretty, but most are disappointed that the ride feels so short and uneventful. Flights of Passage is obviously the slam dunk. I do consider Pandora a win, but not a sweeping victory.

Toy Story Playland is reported to be on cheap. Off the shelf rides with themed cars where the only real draw is Midway Mania, a ride which already exists in the park. They aren't adding any other D or E ticket or experience.

Star Wars Land has already been scaled back due to WDW per rumors, and the reason it will be so elaborate is because they are sharing the cost with DLR.

I'd love to see a Marvel/Superhero area at WDW, I just think it fits DHS better than any other park currently on the table. EPCOT is about Edu-tainment and while they could do something creative with Stark Expo, I doubt they'd show that restraint. With DHS, they can be unabashedly commercial and action-based. Plus, they can go with Super Heroes as a concept rather than Marvel and include a Big Hero 6 darkride and something for Incredibles 2. It would fit perfectly in the animation courtyard/Sunset Blvd section of the park.

Disney is limited legally in what it can include from Marvel stories at WDW. Disney probably would like it if Marvel attractions they want to replicate elsewhere in the world weren't limited to what they can put it in at WDW. WDW also is limited to some degree in the amount of things it can build in WDW due to space and the amount of attractions it makes economic sense to have at WDW according to their goals and attendance predictions.

[Californian Elitist]

I just feel the California theme slipping away with each new addition. Maybe "studios" park isn't the right term, but the park is undergoing a thematic shift.

It most definitely is, though there's no central theme. DCA 2.0 was kind of pointless, adding in all those California references, only to build a Marvel-themed ride in an area where it clearly and obviously doesn't belong.

The land needs to represent the franchise. People see Harry Potter Land, they think Harry Potter. They didn't retheme Disaster to be the Subway station from the opening of The Deathly Hallows. Why? Because nobody would associate that with the Franchise, its too removed. Cars Land isn't themed to be the oil refinery from Cars 2. Coney Island, even if there's a spectacular fight scene there, doesn't represent "Marvel" or "Spiderman." I also wouldn't expect anything major themed to Inhumans for quite awhile, its too niche. Most lay people aren't familiar with the property.

Well, considering the Oz attraction was supposed to go behind Big Thunder at Disneyland...I'm going to say that idea is quite dead for now.

That may be true for the previously rumored attraction/area. But there is always other areas, including the 3rd gate area if they want to expand there. And by the time the sequel comes out they very well might want to finally expand and have plan to do it.

Sorry, that was more tongue in cheek than actual reality.

 

[Suspirian]

I would think If any theme change were to come it would become Disney's America.

They have gotten rid of using the 's in names and titles so it would be Disney America. But I don't have an issue with that.

Or better yet, how about Disney American Adventure.

 

[Hatbox Ghostbuster]

And is that a bad thing? In my opinion no. A theme park with a California theme located in California has always been weak to me. That would be like them building a theme park with a Florida theme in WDW.

So less California and more other themes are fine for me.

Not a bad thing at all. Just an observation.

Board idea: a font that reads as non-threateningly stating ones opinion.

I love you all

Gotcha. Although, I would like to see Disney do a hard R-rated slasher film. Walt Disney's....Grizzly Peak!

 

[Enjoy the ride]

First ride video is up

Everyone's mileage may vary, or so they say, but we were talking about WDW in the context of being cheap, which WoA is not.

 

[HonorableMention]

New ride profile posted, and it looks like I got exactly what I felt was missing earlier: the actual breakout!

Nope, Martin has said SWL will have identical rides to DLs. No scaling back unless you count the different transition which is necessary due to ROA being next to it.

TSL will still have better rides than any other playland including a version of Maters from carsland and a roller coaster.

Everything I've seen has said Pandora is a success. A very small amount of posters dont like it, but there's never going to be something that every single person loves. Why does it need more than 1 shop? People complain there are too many giftshops as it is.
