Ariana Grande makes public plea to 'protect and preserve' Disney's Tower of Terror ride from Marvel: 'Dire desperation'

Ariana Grande reveals a public plea to 'protect and preserve' Disney World's Tower of Terror ride from a Marvel makeover: 'It's not angst, it's dire desperation.'

The singer-songwriter and upcoming Wicked actress appeared on the most recent episode of Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers' Las Culturistas podcast, where she issued a firm decree to Disney that they'd better not re-theme the Florida version of the guest-favorite ride to Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy like the company did at the Disneyland resort in California. I don't remember much about her, but I love her," Grande said, referencing Disneyland's overhaul of the classic drop tower attraction that saw Disney ditch the original ride's vintage Hollywood aesthetic and reopen as Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout! Another installment of the ride's drop system is expected to open in the future at Hong Kong Disneyland, with Disney unveiling concept art for the planned attraction — this time themed to Marvel's Spider-Man character — at the D23 convention in August.
