Would like to see how this will anchor a new Marvel land that Joe alludes to before deciding if this makes any sense or not. The location of the DCA tower had always seemed to be an afterthought so perhaps if it serves as an entry to a new Marvel area it will work in the end. Thank goodness they aren't doing this to the tower at DHS. I loved Guardians but it deserves something better than an overlay. Surprised on the timing too...close in early 2017 and open summer 2017, can't imagine it can be that great of an overlay

They booed Citizen Kane at the Academy Awards back in the day, too.

I like how he really couldn't explain what the building was supposed to be.
It's definitely one odd looking warehouse.

Thats somewhat of a relief I guess, after all they did a good job keeping Norway looking like Norway. So to clear any confusion, our Tower of Terror is staying as is for now, this is strictly DCA

What aspect of this structure celebrates the history and heritage of California? Was it this structure, or something like it, that so inspired Walt Disney?
Is anyone else thinking a park name change should be coming?

Firstly. I kind of got the feeling Joe had a gun to his back... all that eye rolling etc... he was totally thinking this is the cheap way out.
Secondly. All that peacemaking done to DCA... that ugly tower is going to ruin several sight lines across the park. Mind you, this is the resort that puts a whole new planet just a stones throw from the wild west.
Looks like a real cheap option. I'd sooner they just sign off on a third park and put both the Bobs' ideas there.
It's a sad day for Disneyland Resort. Why we just can't add totally new rides (frozen, guardians) is beyond me. Maybe it's so Bob Iger can live his IP's - I'd sooner they just built him his own DISH and locked him in a darkened corner of imagineering and let him live out his IP fantasies!

As I said earlier, someplace else maybe, Joe Rhode is a God to many of you. Whatever he says is ok is OK. Every
There was a rumor a couple of months ago I think, that something to do with the Collector was coming. So, and as we see, they've been quite busy.

DLR Press Release:
Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! Invites Guests to Step into a Thrilling Adventure and Comical Rescue Scheme
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (July 23, 2016) – The Guardians of the Galaxy are coming to the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim.
Beginning summer 2017, guests at Disney California Adventure Park will join in a daring confrontation with one of the most unusual characters in the park’s history: Tanaleer Tivan, the Collector. He has opened his unique collection of fauna, relics and species to guests for a special tour culminating with his latest prized possessions: the Guardians of the Galaxy, themselves! Fortunately, Rocket has a plan to free his friends – and that plan includes recruiting Disneyland Resort guests in a sensational rescue effort.
This comically cosmic, rocking new adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! is the result of a collaboration between the creative minds behind the comic books, the films and Walt Disney Imagineering. The attraction will drop guests directly into the story alongside characters from the comic books and the blockbuster films.
Joe Rohde, Portfolio Creative Director, Walt Disney Imagineering, is leading the project. He shared this preview of the new attraction: “The setting is a kind of fortress that’s owned by the mysterious Collector and it’s packed with creatures and his latest acquisitions from across the universe. Now he has imprisoned the Guardians of the Galaxy and they’re hanging in display cases over a giant abyss. The captor doesn’t know it but Rocket Raccoon has escaped and is enlisting our aid—all the guests—to help the Guardians in a breakout scheme. And the rest is comical chaos; a very funny, very irreverent story and a really wonderful addition to Disney California Adventure.”
“It’s such a thrill to be working alongside a true visionary like Joe Rohde and the entire Walt Disney Imagineering team,” said Joe Quesada, Chief Creative Officer, Marvel. “Like our stories and characters, projects led by Joe are the stuff of legend, so Marvel fans rejoice! The universe couldn’t be in better hands! Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! is going to be an out of this world experience and what has me even more excited are Joe’s ‘secret’ plans for the future. We’re just getting warmed up.”
The announcement was made today at San Diego Comic-Con by Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, who said: “The incredibly talented Disney Imagineering team has found a way to harness the spirit which drove Guardians of the Galaxy’s success to create this immersive experience. With its debut timed to the release of the film’s sequel, we are eager to present the attraction to the millions who visit Disney California Adventure and place them in the center of the action as they join in a mission alongside our audacious Guardians of the Galaxy team.”
Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! takes place in the fortress-like museum of the mysterious Collector, who has trapped his newest acquisitions, the Guardians of the Galaxy. One member of the group, the intrepid Rocket, has escaped, and he calls upon brave visitors for help. Guests board a gantry lift which launches them into a daring adventure as they join Rocket in an attempt to set free his fellow Guardians.
The new attraction will anchor a broader universe of Super Heroes that will grow over time in Disney California Adventure Park. Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! will transform the structure currently housing The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ into an epic new adventure, enhancing the breathtaking free fall sensation with new visual and audio effects to create a variety of ride experiences. Guests will experience multiple, random and unique ride profiles in which the rise and fall of the gantry lift rocks to the beat of music inspired by the film’s popular soundtrack.
Fans of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror will want to experience the attraction from now until its final “drop day,” which will be celebrated in true Disney fashion in early January.
