Guests visiting Disney California Adventure next month will have to temporarily say goodbye to one of the park’s most thrilling attractions. Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!, the wildly popular drop tower ride, is scheduled to undergo a short refurbishment from March 10 through March 15, with an expected reopening date of March 16.

A Quick Tune-Up for the Collector’s Fortress
While Disneyland Resort has yet to announce specific details regarding the refurbishment’s nature, brief maintenance closures like this are common for high-intensity attractions such as Mission: BREAKOUT!
The ride, which takes guests on a chaotic adventure through Taneleer Tivan’s fortress, features randomized drop sequences, immersive audio-visual effects, and detailed animatronics—including a lively Rocket Raccoon pre-show sequence.
Routine refurbishments help ensure that the attraction remains in top shape, with technical inspections, effects maintenance, and general upkeep likely being the focus of this short downtime. While no major changes are expected, fans are hopeful that minor enhancements, such as updated lighting, refreshed audio cues, or small animatronic adjustments, could be in store.

What This Means for Disney California Adventure Visitors
With Mission: BREAKOUT! temporarily unavailable, guests visiting Disney California Adventure from March 10-15 may need to adjust their ride strategy. However, there are still plenty of Marvel-themed experiences to enjoy in Avengers Campus, including:
- WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure – Join Spider-Man in a high-tech battle against rogue Spider-Bots.
- Doctor Strange: Mysteries of the Mystic Arts – A live show featuring the Sorcerer Supreme himself.
- Avengers Headquarters Encounters – Keep an eye out for characters like Iron Man, Black Panther, and Loki.
Additionally, thrill-seekers can head to Incredicoaster or Radiator Springs Racers for an alternative adrenaline rush while Mission: BREAKOUT! is closed.

Mission: BREAKOUT! Remains a Fan-Favorite Marvel Attraction
Since its debut in 2017, Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! has been a massive hit among Disneyland Resort visitors, replacing The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror with a more lighthearted, energetic experience.
The ride’s six different drop sequences, combined with a soundtrack of classic hits like “I Want You Back” by The Jackson 5 and “Free Ride” by The Edgar Winter Group, keep guests coming back for repeat rides.
With its humorous storytelling, unpredictable ride sequences, and energetic atmosphere, Mission: BREAKOUT! has remained one of California Adventure’s must-do attractions and an essential part of Avengers Campus.
Barring any unexpected delays, Mission: BREAKOUT! is set to reopen on March 16, welcoming guests back into The Collector’s Fortress for another round of cosmic chaos. As always, visitors should check the Disneyland app or official park website for the latest ride status updates.
For now, fans can rest assured that Rocket Raccoon and the Guardians will be back in action soon, ready to help guests escape the clutches of Taneleer Tivan once again.
