What is the new name for the Tower of Terror?

So what is this attraction likely to look like? Well, the name of the attraction is Guardians of the Galaxy ? Mission: BREAKOUT! and it will revamp the current elevator drop ride from a hotel setting to a 'warehouse fortress power plant' using the same original building that riders will already be familiar with.



At Disney California Adventure, the "The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror" was officially closed and replaced in 2017 by Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!. This reimagined attraction uses the same drop-tower ride system but features a completely different aesthetic, a 1980s-inspired soundtrack, and a storyline starring Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, and the rest of the Guardians. In 2026, the attraction is the anchor of the Avengers Campus and remains one of the park's most popular rides. It is important to note that the original version of the ride still exists under the name "The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror" at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida, where it remains a beloved classic of the "Hollywood that never was." While rumors of an overhaul for the Florida version occasionally surface, as of February 2026, the Orlando tower maintains its spooky, 1930s hotel theme, while the California version is firmly rooted in the high-energy Marvel Cinematic Universe.
