COLLECTOR’S FORTRESS TRANSFORMATION UNDERWAY NOW AS GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY – MISSION: BREAKOUT! PRE

A huge transformation is underway now at Disney California Adventure® Park, as The Collector’s Fortress takes shape at the site of what is now the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Soon, it will be home to a new adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!, and today we're excited to share a look at what the fortress will look like when the attraction opens summer 2017.

The model pictured here was created by Walt Disney Imagineering to guide the transformation currently taking place on the exterior of the attraction. Every shade and detail you see here will be replicated in full size, as designers, builders and artists work to bring The Collector’s realm to life at the Disneyland Resort.

This “warehouse, fortress-like power plant” (as described here by Joe Rohde, Creative Executive, Walt Disney Imagineering) is designed to be intimidating and imposing, but also shimmering and regal. It will be the ideal location for The Collector to secure and show off his most prized acquisitions, the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Featuring characters from the blockbuster films, Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! is an epic new adventure combining the familiar, breathtaking free-fall sensation with all-new visual and audio effects, including music inspired by the popular “Guardians of the Galaxy” film soundtrack. You will experience a variety of randomized ride experiences, so you never know which adventure you will get!

Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! opens at Disney California Adventure Park summer 2017. We'll share more details here as we have them.
