It's only a ride. Twilight Zone's not even Disney anyway so doesn't make sense as the theme of Tower of Terror.

I can't see how it 'doesn't make sense as the theme' - its pretty much a key part of the attraction. There are references to the television show all over the queue area for starters.  Let alone the actual attraction's events.

You completely missed my point. It doesn't make sense as a theme because Twilight Zone isn't Disney.

Well said. I couldn't agree more - and I've never actually been on the attraction!

Noooo you have to go! Even if you're not keen on going on the ride at least queue up with your party and tell a CM you would like to exit before loading, I've seen it done many times. It's so worth it, I promise!

I agree it's a stupid idea, especially for Paris, on so many levels.

Neither is Aerosmith but Rock N' Roller Coaster is still a huge attraction at WDS.

I love Guardians but even I know changing one of the most successful and loved DLPR rides to please a new generation is stupid.

If they're that intent on bringing Marvel/Guardians into the parks, leave ToT alone and do something with the waste of space that is Armageddon!!

Rock n Roller Coaster should be rethemed too.

Why? Just because it's a Disney resort, doesn't mean that EVERY attraction has to be centered around Disney.

I mean, using that logic, It's A Small World, Space Mountain, Orbitron, Autopia, Big Thunder Mountain among many others would need a re-theme. And that's just at DLP and not including the other International attractions such as the Jungle Cruise and Tiki Rooms, Soarin'...

Well, why not? Why not just make everything Disney?

Because that wasn't Walt's vision. If it was then we wouldn't have attractions like IASW, among many others that he designed himself in the first place.

Well I never knew you could do that! Haha I'll have to try that next time. And then pluck up courage to go on Big Thunder too...

And a quote from /film (on the new Muppets attraction coming to Florida)

As you may have seen, news of the Guardians of the Galaxy Mission: BREAKOUT! attraction has not gone over well with Disney theme park fans. A Change.org petition has already racked up 30,000 signatures in just a few days, the official YouTube announcement video has five times as many down votes as it has up votes, and the Disney Parks blog has reportedly been deleting negative comments like never before.

[Rocketeer]

Well, I guess it should come as no surprise that they're sticking with this. What is shocking though, is that they Hollywood Tower signage has been removed (before the attraction has closed), and overngiht they have removed the large dome on the top of the tower.

I'm so glad ours is staying the same (for now).

[Rocketeer]

A new video proclaiming how wonderful this re-theme is has been released. I really hope this does not happen to the WDS version.

And it seems that on the Parks Blog, they're only allowing positive comments about the attraction.

[mickey1980]

Why? Just why ruin a perfectly fine attraction to re-theme it to this monstrosity.
The design looks tacky and cheap. Like the designer was pushed to make it work. But it doesn't work. And will never work.

[Puffin]

I'm not against retheming or rethinking rides, but this does look kind of weird to be honest.

[Rocketeer]

I think this'll go down as WDI's worst attraction retheme.

[ChipandDale99]

I didn't realise how serious this retheme is. I hope they don't change it to this as the tower looks so good as it is. Hopefully people won't warm to it in America and it won't come over.

You can bet on this being successful. Guardians of the Galaxy is a much bigger franchise than The Twilight Zone and only internet Walt Disney World fanatics care about the retheming.
