The ride is located in the building that once housed the Tower of Terror, which closed in January.
The exterior of the building is covered with a series of brightly-colored pipes and metallic detail.
The storyline is that a villain, known as The Collector, has captured the five Guardians and put them on display in his fortress. Along the way, visitors will encounter Rocket the raccoon, who has managed to escape, and is now enlisting the help of riders to free his fellow Guardians.
Mission Breakout! will feature six versions, with a computer randomly picking which version visitors will experience.
Riders will rise and fall (similar to Tower’s drops) to six pop songs from the 60s, 70s and early 80s.
Songs include “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” by Pat Benatar, “Give Up The Funk” by Parliament, “Born to Be Wild” by Steppenwolf, “I Want You Back” by The Jackson 5, “Free Ride” by The Edgar Winters Group and “Burning Love” by Elvis Presley.
Not only will the drop sequences and songs be different each time, but also the version of the escape.
Disney Imagineers worked with Marvel producers to develop the attractions, including director James Gunn.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout! opens to the public May 27.
