Guardians of the Galaxy replacing Tower Of Terror?????

[matk971]

Hey everyone,
SO as the world knows by now, Guardians of the Galaxy will be replacing Tower of Terror. From what I've read and seen in video, they are saying it will be ready by the time the new Guardians movie is out. I have a few thoughts on this.

1. With them taking over Tower of Terror and the video posted with jim Rhodie(sp?) He says that the immediate are will now be transformed into a Marvel themed area, With tower being located near Hollywood land, do other believe like me that they will also take over some of the Hollywood land area? My biggest issue is The Hyperion Theater. They just did a major overhaul to put Frozen in there. If it's popularity continues, DO you think they will move the show to the theater by Tommorrowland OR do you think they will include a theater in the re-themeing of ToonTown?

2. From what i've heard on previous Dis podcasts and have read online, It looks like they will only be doing this change to Tower of Terror in DCA and not Florida. Does anyone know for certain that they can't do this in Florida or is this a case of Disney updating one park to see if it may work in another?

I am also running a poll to get a good idea of what everyone thoughts on this development is?

Thanks, I kew there would likely have been a post, but I just wanted to post something that I had thought about after seeing the video

The ride itself will still be a drop ride. It will be nice that they are adding music and the random drop sequence. It looks like the theming will be good, we'll have to wait and see how well the story works though. The current story is pretty good and makes for a fun experience. I also like the current look of the Tower and I am concerned about how it will look. Overall I think the ride will be "as good" because the actual ride is changing for the better, with the random drop, but at the same time story does matter and I'm a bit worried about how that will play out.

I agree with someone in the other post who said this would be better accepted if it was coming with the whole Marvel Land. Just thematically changing it seems kind of unnecessary, especially considering how popular the ride is. This isn't Maelstrom to Frozen. That ride was not particularly popular and didn't have long waits. But TOT usually commands a good wait and is worth using a FP on, so just chaning it to change it seems to be the biggest thing that is ticking people off. It would have been nice for them to announce one of the rumored coasters at the same time and start work on it ASAP, rather than just close an already popular attraction just to reopen it with a new theme. Maybe in five years we'll have a whole Marvel Land and the theme will fit, but right now it just seems kind of odd.
