It’s official: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is coming to Disneyland in California.

The elevator’s free fall will remain, but everything else will be completely overhauled. New visual and audio effects will be added, Disney representative said.

Disney’s official parks blog also released artist rendering of what the attraction could look like.
