A great look inside the Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! attraction at Disney’s California Adventure has arrived on YouTube via Inside the Magic. The video provides a fantastic look at the queue, the Rocket Raccoon animatronic figure, as well as the preshow and a bit of the ride itself.
Mission: BREAKOUT! is a retheming of what was the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror; it uses all of the same ride mechanisms from its previous incarnation and is still a drop ride of sorts. The Guardians of the Galaxy retheme was announced at Comic-Con International in 2016 and has been in progress since January 2017.
The ride is the first stateside Disney attraction based on Marvel Comics characters (the Iron Man Experience has been open at Hong Kong Disneyland since January 2017). The story of the ride focuses on the Guardians as they try to escape from The Collector, who has captured them and put them on display. Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Benicio del Toro, Vin Diesel, and Bradley Cooper all reprise their roles from the films.
Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! opens at Disney’s California Adventure on May 27, 2017.
