The ride is based on Disney and Marvel’s latest hit movie, Guardians of the Galaxy. If you have been lucky enough to visit Disneyland previous, perhaps you enjoyed The Tower of Terror. Based on the TV series The Twilight Zone, passengers would explore different levels of the fictional hotel before falling 130 feet straight down.
