Currently in full promotion of Wickedthe new adaptation of Wizard of Oz directed by Jon M. Chu, Ariana Grande has become the champion of a famous Disneyland attraction threatened by Marvel. Indeed, certain cult entertainments from the company's parks have been replaced by superheroes from the MCU: changes which sadden many stars, determined to stop the bleeding.
Ariana Grande doesn't want anyone to touch this attraction
At just 31 years old, Ariana Grande can boast of having dabbled in everything, from comedy to singing. Revealed by her role as Cat Valentine in the sitcom Victorious et son spin-off Sam and Catthis former Nickelodeon star has more than one string to his bow. Since the beginning of the 2010s, it has become one of the essential pop stars of the international music scene. Musical headliner Wickedwhich will be released on December 4 in cinemas, the young woman is also leading a surprising fight. Indeed, she has spoken out on several occasions to ask Disney not to sell The Tower of Terror to Marvel! Replaced by an attraction dedicated to Guardians of the Galaxy within the Californian park, it can still be saved in Florida.
I want to talk about the Tower of Terror because I love and respect Guardians of the GalaxyOf course. I think it's a beautiful thing, it's great, it's impressive, it's incredible. I'm a big fan of Baby Groot. I don't remember much about him, but I love him. […] It's not anxiety, it's despair.

This statement from the young woman during her appearance on Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang's podcast, Las Culturistas, was accompanied by reading an open letter addressed directly to Disneyin which she defends the cult attraction.
This post may be premature, but I would be remiss if I did not bring to your attention a potential issue of great concern. As a result of recent changes to your historic park in California – yes, I'm referring to the calamitous loss of the Tower of Terror and its transformation – I humbly implore you not to follow this example. Please allow the iconic and awesome Tower of Terror to remain standing, permanently, in the name of historic preservation, spooky honor, and old-fashioned fun. I hope that you will take into consideration this humble appeal from a passionate fan.
How can we not give in to this call for mercy from Ariana Grande? If the pop star asks Disney to spare The Tower of Terror, it is certain that he is not the only person in the world to have memories as tender as they are frightening linked to this famous attraction. Could a petition help save this “monument” dating from 1994, and which recently celebrated its thirty years of existence? In France, we also had a more recent version, opened in 2007, redesigned between 2017 and 2019, and which still delights thrill-seekers.
And you, what do you think about a potential closure of the Tower of Terror?
