The attraction was formerly the Tower of Terror.

Suit up, superheroes: Disney’s new “Guardians of the Galaxy” ride will open on May 27 at Disney California Adventure park, according to the Disney Parks Blog.

Last month, the Tower of Terror ride closed for transformation into a new attraction based on the popular Marvel comic books and movie.

Disney has plans to create a massive Marvel Comics universe at its California Adventure park, and this is just the beginning.
