The Tower of Terror’s iconic Art Deco façade glows at sunset, framed by swaying palm trees and lush gardens—an unforgettable centerpiece for thrill-seekers at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Disney California Adventure’s new ride “Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission BREAKOUT!” has opened to much fanfare. Park guests are praising the thrilling new attraction as they ride it again and again.

Perhaps just as impressive as the ride itself, is the queue. There is no shortage of things to see as you wait in line. The Collector’s fortress is jam packed with Marvel artifacts, Disney easter eggs and of course, tributes to the previous tenants of the building.

The new ride famously replaced the “Twilight Zone Tower of Terror,” which closed back in January. It did not do so without paying homage to the old ride however. Several pieces from the old Hollywood Tower Hotel can be found throughout the queue.

An open book filled with Latin script sits next to a classic leather-bound volume, while a statue emerges from behind metal bars—all capturing the adventurous, suspense-filled vibe of Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! at Disney California Adventure.

In the Collector’s office, guests can find a hat from one of the bellhops that used to load doomed guests into their treacherous elevators. Guests also might see a bookmark with the logo from the cursed old hotel.
