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

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.

Yes, both SWL's will be the same, however there was a C ticket which was cut because WDW wanted to keep costs down. Hence what I said about SWL being scaled back due to WDW.

TSL will have a kiddie coaster and a spinner. I can't imagine anyone is excited for Mater's Junkyard Jamboree and Gadget's Go Coaster. The proposal makes A Bugs Land look interesting.

I haven't seen anyone glowing over Navi River Journey. Most agree its pretty good or okay. Worth about a 20 minute wait.

And Harry Potter taught us the power if shops as far as world building. They can still be unique experiences which give you more time in a land. Pandora looks cool, but I'm not planning a trip arpund seeing it like I did with Potter. I really wished they had some areas to interact with AAs like Triceratops Encounter or some jungle trek through more intimate experiences.

Someone found a reference to X-S Tech

You know, it would be pretty cool if there was an Alien Encouter-esque attraction next to GOTG:MB with one of the creatures in the museum

That's kind of ironic in a way. Alien Encounter being another dark and scary Disney attraction that was butchered to tie into a current film franchise. They both involve alien technology, creatures in glass boxes, escaping and one very well done AA. At least Stitch is a Disney creation though.

Ok this ride is freaking awesome. I can't wait to ride it on my first Disneyland trip ever in August. I love the WDW ToT but this just looks so spectacular.

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

I agree with you here. The other ride profile was a little too disjointed and didn't give us enough face time with the characters. And I still have no idea what the old hallway room that's now covered in Christmas lights is supposed to be.

That said: this otherwise appears to be a pleasant surprise! A fun and fresh take, replacing what was always a crappy knockoff of the real TOT. I'm impressed at how good the screens look even in these clips. Not nearly as cheap or half-baked as I'd feared.

I only wish this could have been done in a building that doesn't look like hell from the rest of the park.

It isn't on the level of Gadget's Go. Much more expansive and barely comparable. Also, Navi is a C-Ticket. So any C-Ticket worth a 20 minute wait is a success to me.

As for Mission Breakout -- looks better than I expected! Even though it was the inferior Tower of Terror compared to the DHS version, I still preferred it to Guardians. Just feels forced even though there are a lot of great film easter eggs throughout the queue and ride.

How does Paradise Pier and Grizzly Peak tie into a Studio Park? That's like 1/2 of the entire park which feels nothing like a studio nor franchise.

Clear answer: a land dedicated to Brother Bear.

Pretty sure the "Christmas lights" room is the Collector's main control room for the power. You're right though, that room did make me think of Christmas right away.

I hope you have an awesome trip! You will LOVE Disneyland!

Hahaha. That movie is buried almost as deep as Chicken Little and Home on tge Range. Maybe if they remake it with live action. And people don't confuse it for Brave.

Knockoff? You mean improvement. The DCA version of the ride was much improved over the campy DHS version.

I mean exactly what I said, but you're entitled to your take. In fact I respect that this forum can host even unpopular opinions.

Not in my opinion.

 

[TheOrangeBird01]

I hope you have an awesome trip! You will LOVE Disneyland!

Thank you so much, I've been looking forward to it for months. It seems like I'm going at a great time too, since I think pretty much everything I want to experience will be open by that time (except Star Wars land of course lol)!

While I respect your opinion, you have to understand you're in the tiny minority, both inside Disney and out, that WDW's TOT is the inferior version. You're gonna be hard pressed to find a lot of agreement on your stance anywhere.

We get it. You think WDW is inferior.

It was the general consensus when we visited last. The original version is certainty campier, there's no denying that. I liken it to Judge Dredd. The first movie version was much closer to the source material, however the second version was a more solid experience. The original did have the better facade and queue though.

 

[Professortango1]

Not inferior. WDW is quantity and DLR is quality. If you're into more unique parks, slower paced days, dining, and resort amenities, WDW is definitely superior. Its big vs shiny. Everest's Yeti is phenomenal but broken, Disneyland's isn't as impressive but it works. Its also no secret WDW is cheaper in regards to upgrades and maintenance than DLR. They have a lot more to maintain.

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.

Please point me to the people saying Pandora is underwhelming??

The first movie version was much closer to the source material, however the second version was a more solid experience. The original did have the better facade and queue though.

Once again, you are in the minority in a VAST majority of people who love and always will love the original. It's not worth arguing something practically nobody will agree with you on.

On the ride itself,

Pros
- The queue is pretty cool as well as the AA. Something about Figment being in there rubs be the wrong way though. The scanner at the elevator and rocket AA are a def plus for the ride.

- The fast pace from the get go was a little concerning when I first heard it but it actually works. I still prefer the build up of ToT but this works in its own way.

- I couldn't help but laugh during the preshow and ride. It just felt like a situation you would have seen in the movie.


Cons

- The outside will forever be a eyesore and tumor on the park.

- I hate the reference to Disneyland. The fact the story goes along with the tower being in the theme parks destroys the theming for that entire corner. We're not suppose to be at Disneyland, we should be in Hollywood. A big favor they could do is go back to the movie backlot angle and maybe make this the set of a new movie.

Haven't ridden in person so can't give honest feedback but from the video seems like a fun ride with a terrible exterior.

The part that makes me happy is the pacing would NEVER work in Orlando. The part of moving forward is to slow so there could be no fast pace from the start. This gives me hope they won't do it.
