Disney announced today when the re-themed Tower of Terror in California Adventures would officially open: May 27th
It will now be Guardians of the Galaxy Themed with the title: Mission BREAKOUT!
The opening kicks off their “Summer of Heroes” including these new experiences:
Summer of Heroes will launch these new, year-round experiences:
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Dance Off! – Don’t be surprised if you run into the Guardians of the Galaxy on their way to the Milano, with Star-Lord firing up his old-school boom box to get the party started. Gamora may prefer to stand back and observe, but everyone else is bound to get in the groove and show off their moves during this awesome rock ‘n’ roll bash!
- Super Hero Encounters – For the first time, citizens of Earth will come face-to-face with Groot, one of the Guardians of the Galaxy! You can also step up to meet the First Avenger, Captain America, along with everyone’s favorite web slinger, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
And for a limited time, step up to the challenge with new adventures during Summer of Heroes:
- Avengers Training Initiative – Black Widow and Hawkeye assemble young recruits for a series of tests to see if they have what it takes to join the ranks of the Avengers.
- Heroic Encounter: Black Widow – Black Widow will arrive on the scene several times throughout the day in an armored Avengers vehicle for her heroic encounter with park guests.
- Grab a Piece (or Bite) of the Action – All that heroism making you hungry? Want a token as proof of your adventures when you get home? Special themed merchandise and food will be available throughout Hollywood Land

Are you excited for the re-themed ride? I know many people that LOVED Tower of Terror, but I always enjoy change and don’t freak out about it. If you really want the Tower of Terror, you can still experience it at Disneyworld, and the Disneyworld version is MUCH better than the California Adventures Version ever was. Guardians of the Galaxy is one of my husband’s favorite comics, so I know he and my boys are excited. I’m glad we were able to experience the Tower of Terror one last time on our last trip too!
