Step into Blockbuster Super Hero Stories at Disney California Adventure Park! Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! Opens May 27 with Summer of Heroes and All-New Epic Experiences

Disney California Adventure park will soon be the destination for adventure, intrigue and triumph as recruits from around the world – like you – join forces with legendary Super Heroes in an ever-expanding universe of stories that will grow even bigger over time. This summer, we are kicking off the action with the May 27 grand opening of the thrilling, rocking attraction, Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!

This new adventure blasts you straight into the “Guardians of the Galaxy” story for the first time ever, alongside characters from the blockbuster films and comics. As you help Rocket bust his pals out of the Collector’s Fortress, you will experience randomized ride experiences complete with all-new visual and audio effects and music inspired by the popular film soundtracks. You never know which adventure you will get!

There will be even more ways to step into Super Hero stories with Summer of Heroes, May 27 through September 10. Answer the call for this limited-time celebration as you join the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy for all-new epic 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.

The summer brings even more to get excited about over at Disneyland park as classic favorites return with the reopening of the Disneyland Railroad and Rivers of America attractions, with the “Fantasmic!” nighttime spectacular returning later in the summer. We’ll have opening dates to share soon for these attractions. And don’t miss your chance to see the classic Main Street Electrical Parade during its limited-time run at Disneyland park through June 18.

Yay, I'm so glad GoG will be open for our June trip!!!

 

[gsrieff]

Nice update!

 

[ImDMous]

Wow! This looks awesome. I can't wait for all of it!

 

[Disney_Alli]

I'm so excited! June 10th can't get here soon enough!

 

[SMD]

Disney's new favorite offering, special food and merch! Interesting that they're not going to bring back Thor. Or display an Iron Man suit, apparently.

My daughter is going to be so happy that ride will be open when we are there in June. Are they going to have a fast pass for it?

Probably since ToT had them.

 

[22Tink]

Yay Groot!! Now I'm really excited!

 

[rowan1813]

I'm kind of excited - looks like what used to be the Mad T Party and ElecTRONica will now be a 70s & 80s themed dance party (since that was the music in GOTG 1). 70s and 80s had some great music!

 

[jammyjam25]

Oh man this sounds so cool. Groot! Hawkeye and Black Widow! And a GotG themed dance party w/ killer soundtrack?? Officially sad I don't have a trip planned this summer.

 

[Butterfly123]

I think Summer of Heroes sounds okay, but I'm stuck on the "later in the summer" part for Fantasmic. I'm sure hoping that means by the first week of August!

This is good news. Glad they're opening it quickly. I'm excited and optimistic for this ride change. Yes the TOT theming is gone, but the ride is getting randomization and fun music, a plus for me. I was just wondering this morning if we would be able to meet any Guardians this summer, and they announced Groot will be doing M&Gs. I wish it was Rocket, but I know he's supposed to be kind of small. We haven't been since they added all the Star Wars M&Gs or Spider Man either, so lots of new characters to meet.

Sometimes they do, but you can't count on it. And a lot of times the soft openings are open just to CM or AP holders, especially that far in advance. If it was just a day or two early it'd be more likely that the ride could soft open.

 

[RJmurphy]

I was really bummed to hear that there are so many things down for our trip. We've never been out there. Our SIL is from Palmdale and we are visiting to meet the family and see where he grew up. A trip to Disney seemed like the right thing to squeeze in while we are there The Railroad being down is what I am most disappointed in though. Guess we'll have to make another trip in a few years

 

[Tinkerbell19672]

Thanks for the info! Sad we will miss it at beginning of May

 

[crazycatlady]

This just made my day! I love Guardians and am so glad this is starting in time for our June trip. The icing on the cake is getting our picture taken with Groot!

 

[superme80]

I hope they have the food and meet and greets if I get to go in October.

 

[frisbeego]

I'm so excited by this news that I'm considering a trip this summer just to meet the Guardians.

I'm trying to decipher Disney-speak. "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."

You get to "meet" Captain America and Spider-Man. But you come "face-to-face" with Groot. Could that mean that Groot isn't doing a traditional meet-and-greet? I know it's too early to know for sure. Just curious.
