Expedition Everest was ok too, but other than that they were pretty tame rides.

Closing Tower of Terror at Dland is really stupid. Replacing it with G of Galaxy

They gave Space Mountain a Star Wars overlay, it's better now.

It's *slightly* better IMHO. Still not great.

Two different markets. Disney isn't trying to go after the Six Flags market.

This overlay is going to end soon. To be replaced by a Halloween overlay.

The Twilight Zone memorabilia scattered about it brilliant.

We're going in September. I assume it will still be in operation then, right?

Should be, I think it closes in Oct.

Closes in January.

It's one of the few good rides in the park.

It's the same ride with updated decor.

My kids loved Tower of Terror. Easily one of their favorite rides.

Not sure I would say it is an "Iconic D-land Ride" -

OGSuperfan

8/24/16 12:52pm

Just California so far. And yes it's Iconic because you can see it from afar.

ToasterChive

8/24/16 1:04pm

It is the most iconic ride in California Adventure.

Now if they'd just replace that terrifying Yeti.

The Dude Abides

No the Yeti is good, but its much more intense than before.

ToasterChive

Dang- I didnt know that they were closing it. Bummer- I really like that ride

Basically just changing the decorations to be Avengers. Same ride though

Machiavelli

Not Avengers. Guardians of the Galaxy.

ToasterChive

8/24/16 2:20pm

Oops...yes you're right. I personally hate that ride either way

Machiavelli

For the record, lots of Disneyland employees are very against this as well.

Sorry gotta ask, tower of terror resonates with everyone? Not with my family

BlueCoug

For us it's more of the experience before the ride, line queue experience etc.

Here's the thing: demand for Disney is inelastic. They will keep coming

Machiavelli

Of course it is now, but decisions like this are what kills things.
