Earlier this year, Disneyland’s Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror ride was sadly shut down, making room for new ride Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout! to come in and take over the locale it had long occupied. The drop-tower ride, based on James Gunn’s film, was opened at Disney California Adventure this past May.
Now, just a few short months later, the ride has gotten a fresh new makeover for the Halloween season. Ensuring that it’ll fit in with the park’s overall Halloween theme, Mission: Breakout! is now Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark.
Check out footage of both the pre-show and complete ride below!
The attraction transforms each evening through October 31…
“In Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout!, Rocket finds his pals trapped in the Fortress of The Collector, Taneleer Tivan, and guests assist him with a daring escape plan. The Monsters After Dark transformation picks up moments afterward, as Rocket discovers that in the hurry to free his friends, they have inadvertently left Groot behind. Now Rocket needs to distract all the monsters he has unleashed inside the Fortress, and he enlists the guests to help while he rescues his little friend.”
In keeping with the dark humor of the experience, all-new 70s-style punk rock song, “Monsters After Dark,” enhances the thrill of the experience. The song was written for the attraction by Tyler Bates, composer for the Guardians of the Galaxy films.
