[Video] Virtually Experience Disney’s Halloween-Themed ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Ride!
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.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
