Surprisingly there should be some creative use of the building.

No. He said creative. Cupcake parties on the roof with a view of the Star Wars fireworks two miles away.
At least we are getting a new ride. And honestly, 40 minutes was a bit long for 2016. And this project is more ambitious than any GotG band aid at DHS would've been. Dare I say it, it will be fun. If misplaced. Like FEA but with appropriate capacity.
Maybe they can move the dinos (but not Ellen) to the dead space on Dinosaur.

I enjoy EPCOT because it's almost like a retreat from Disney overload. Disney is not in your face when you are there. That's what makes this park unique and enjoyable. It's going to be a shame if this park loose that uniqueness...
It used to be so unique. It lost that a good ten years ago sadly. IMHO of course.I enjoy EPCOT because it's almost like a retreat from Disney overload. Disney is not in your face when you are there.

true, and has been becoming a hodge podge. But will still hope for some kind of coherency in the new plans. Im glad our tower of terror however is safe now from the atrocious overlay plan, but cant say im thrilled for Guardians in Epcot, maybe I should watch the movie for starters? It just never looked appealing to me.

Wow Martin, that was great! I never remember hearing the version with lyrics...it must have been on the speedramp exit portion...but I don't recall it.... I also recognized the theme from your Horizon's tribute video...

they have miles of indoor space with the vacant spaces in Innoventions and and Communicore buildings...no need to build anything else for Food and Wine...

First time I visited, i think I was 10 or 11. I don't remember much about the park. I wish I did. My second visit was 5 years ago so all I know is Epcot that you see today.
To me it's still very unique and my princess-loving daughter loves Epcot with all the science things that she can touch and experience. It will be a sad day when you see Disney themed attractions and characters everywhere in Epcot.

Without googling it, am I the only one who was no idea what Guardians of the Galaxy is? This is what is going to take the place of one dead pavilion and another that is on life support?
Not sure I read the rumors correctly, would this be a single new attraction, meaning the total net attraction count in FW would still be the same?

At its best, Epcot fascinated kids and adults with the real world, without seeming preachy or too academic. Of course there were exceptions, but old-school EPCOT Center and Epcot c. 1994–2006 had more hits than misses.

It was popular for bucking the Marvel cookie-cutter template, but it's still a superhero movie with nothing to tie it into Epcot. Tony Stark/Iron Man would be a better match, and even then, he couldn't sustain an entire pavilion. An Innoventions exhibit would work well and could conceivably fit within the spirit of Epcot.

GOTG in Future World is just a really bad idea...and I guess we were warned that it would no longer be the EPCOT Center we knew and loved... but putting a movie IP into this area of the park just seems so random and lame... It would make more sense to demolish the Tomorrowland Speedway, put Guardians Of The Galaxy there, add an Autopia type attraction at the Test Track location ...then at least the film and fantasy stuff remains firmly rooted in the fantasy park... I guess it would not be appropriate to have both Star Wars and GOTG at the studios... Wow I really hate this idea... I was hoping fer a Weather Pavilion... an Eco-magination pavilion...anyting more science and technology based ...ugh. I guess this is the park's full turning point...up to now it has just been veering off track....

Looks like Future World will turn into DHS part 2 or worse, 6 flags?! I am not liking this idea at all.

Universe of Energy is trackless. I think Dinosaur and Indy are, as well.
