Galactic ride
The movie that has characters helmed by Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper now has its own attraction in the park where ‘dreams come true’.
MORE details have been released for Disneyland Resort's Guardians of the Galaxy-themed attractions, set to debut today with the second instalment of the film franchise this spring. Called Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission Breakout!, the newest addition to Disney California Adventure Park recreates the fortress-like museum of the mysterious collector Tanaleer Tivan, who has imprisoned the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Unbeknownst to the Collector, Rocket Raccoon has escaped and enlists the help of guests to free the Guardians, who are trapped in glass cases. The experience is heightened with visual and audio effects and music from the film soundtrack.
Other attractions include a space for a “dance-off”, hosted by Star-Lord, who supplies the tunes from his old-school boombox.
Likewise, popular characters from the film including the “treeof-few-words” Groot will make appearances alongside other superheroes like the First Avenger, Captain America, and Spider-Man on the park grounds.
For a limited time over the summer, young visitors can enroll in the "Avengers Training Initiative" with Black Widow and Hawkeye to see if they have what it takes to join the ranks of the Avengers.
Fans will also be able to meet Black Widow, as she rolls through the park in an armoured Avengers vehicle.
Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout! opens today.
The second instalment of the film hit the big screen on May 5, with Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper, as well as appearances by Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell. – AFP Relaxnews
