Tower of Terror drops its last at Disney California Adventure<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Tower of Terror drops its last at Disney California Adventure:-<\/strong> It was the last chance to drop for the Tower of Terror before it disappeared forever into the Twilight Zone of yesterland and many fans dropped in at Disney California Adventure on Monday to take a final ride.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caitlyn McNulty drove in from Las Vegas for the last day.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t miss the funeral of my favorite ride,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ride is getting a makeover to a more sci\/fi fantasy theme. When it reopens this summer, it will be called \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy – Mission Breakout!\u201d It will feature characters from the Marvel movie series and a whole new look.<\/span><\/p>\n

The makeover was announced last summer by Marvel\u2019s producer Kevin Feige at the San Diego Comic-Con, and is the first ride at the Disneyland Resort based on a movie from the Marvel Comics universe. It will retain the elevator-drop that has been a key part of Tower of Terror.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many people visited the park to ride it one last time before its closure and were lamenting its departure.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe drove four hours just to get here and ride it today,\u201d said Lynn Merritt of Visalia. She was there with her husband Dan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want it to go and we want to write to someone and don\u2019t know who to write to,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was added to the theme park in 2004 as a major attraction, three years after Disney California Adventure opened to disappointing business. It became an anchor to Hollywood Land, and was based loosely on \u201cThe Twilight Zone\u201d television series, similar to its sister attraction at Disney Hollywood Studios in Orlando.<\/span><\/p>\n

While some lamented the lost of the current version, others were looking forward to the first Marvel-based ride at the Disneyland Resort.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m optimistic for the change, I think it will be cool,\u201d said Jayna Bosse of Dana Point.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cast members running the attraction on Monday were busy dealing with long lines with wait times of more than two hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are being pretty good about the wait,\u201d said Christine Tran, a lead on the ride. \u201cThis is one of the attractions where you can really immerse yourself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The new version is scheduled to open with the release of the sequel to the \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy\u201d movie in May. The movie stars Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, and will feature Disney Legend Kurt Russell.<\/span><\/p>\n
