I liked it

"Disneyland Resort: Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission Breakout!" is a ttle that really tells you very well what his is about, namely a Disnelyland attraction from 2017 that brings back the actors and characters from the successful GotG franchise and they have a new atagonist here named the Collector, who manages to capture them and while they are trying to get free we get to hear a lot of banter and jokes cracking too. I would not say I am the very biggest fan of the franchise, but this one here was solid. It's a good addition, brings back all the key characters and fans of this franchise will definitely like it. looks-wise, it is okay too and the plot is perfectly fine for the brief runtime. Said runtime by the way is more around the 10-minute mark I believe and not over 20 as it says here on imd. This may have gotten mixed up with the episode of the same title from the animated series. So yeah if you like the Guardians, go check it out. Probably also worth seeing as an appetizer for the new Marvel superhero meetup movie, in which the Guardians are also featured prominently. Definitely a thumbs-up and easily among the better theme park attraction videos I have seen in the last couple years. That's how it should be done.

Fun and terrifying

This ride can make you sick. It is a fun gotg themed ride that goes really fast up and down.

So much worse than tower of terror

I get that marvel movies dont have stakes, but can the rides at least? Really? Rescuing someone with anti gravity? This is just poorly conceived to its core. The building doesn't make nearly as much sense and its theming is both less involved and less cohesive, what little remains has much less purpose. The lighter tone not only makes the ride less fun and less scary, but less interesting as a piece of popular culture, as an expansion of its source material.

The Twilight Zone was not only a compelling and fitting twist on the age old concept of the elevator drop ride, but it lended itself to a 'spooky' tone from which a theme park ride always benefits it. You know. The whole 'theme' part of it.

There is no theme to this. The theme is consumerism, the theme is further double dipping of a property that does not have legs any longer. A desperate cry for attention. Compare it to the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. While that series never really left the culture, it wasn't opened just to market the Twilight Zone to people. It was opened because it was a great idea. While there may have been some motivation in the inception of the early 2000's series, this ride always seemed somewhat out of character for the family park. This new set dressing seems more in character, but it and many of their recent changes have robbed the park of core elements of its personality, especially in its variety. Enough screens, enough weak retheming, enough Marvel. Disneyland is about developed genres and themes that children feel they are living in. Not pictures of superheroes and space.
