I don't even think this is the primary reason people detest Guardians. The major problem is that it's just not thematically appropriate for EPCOT. It's a fun attraction, but being fun is not enough to justify its placement. If Universe of Energy were gutted for something that stayed true to Future World's values, I don't think there would be nearly as much outcry.Secondly, while Guardians is, in fact, a great coaster, one of my personal favorites anywhere, it is detested by many for eliminating one of the last mostly untouched Future World pavilions.
Exactly what I was trying to say in that sentence, but said much more clearlyI don't even think this is the primary reason people detest Guardians.

Don't worry about the replies you're receiving. People on these forums get extremely dramatic over Epcot.I went last in 2017, and sure, I was only 7 so I don't remember all too much, but based on photos and what of it I can remember, other than Illuminations and FoN going away, it's been entirely positive IMO. I hated the concrete and barely-any-shade aesthetic, and I (again, going off photos and videos) like this much, much more. I think the plants are beautiful, even if the center planter does look a bit like... the female body... but the plants are gorgeous; the points of light are stunning; the France expansion is wonderfully themed and entirely positive; GotG is a wonderful coaster and excellently themed despite the giant show building; Space 220 alone is worth the price of going back from what I've seen; the new entry plaza finally looks like a theme park, not a graveyard; Walt statues are always a plus, even though it looks like he's on the toilet; Journey of Water is gorgeous; and the concept art for the new Test Track looks much better than what we have now.
The fact that I can't hear the ToN score while walking out of the park again fills me with sadness. I became a drummer because of that parade.I actually enjoyed Epcot the most (as a whole) when Tapestry of Nations was happening. We really enjoyed that.
I am looking forward to seeing the gardens in person. It may not please everyone but I think it fills a need. And all the lighting, not just ones in sync with show, really gives good atmosphere.

Or makes this the official start date of a new festival to be named later? Long live FestivaCOT.So this makes June 10 the official end date of the Epcot overhaul right?

Personally I'm with you in that I'm just thankful that Disney finally made a major investment into the park after decades of stagnation.
I would argue that Reflections of Earth was FAR superior to what replaced it and just by virtue of not having it, The new EPCOT is a HUGE downgrade.I don't think you're wrong to feel this way.
The work at EPCOT is mostly an improvement over what existed there in 2017; it's just not an improvement over what existed in, e.g., 1993. That doesn't really matter if you didn't see/experience the park then, though -- it's better than anything that existed in your experience.

What's funny about it? I was asking you to please use my preferred pronouns, listed in my about page.I thought your response was funny
Highly disagree. It was laughably outdated, the new show is far better and has much more modern tech to improveI would argue that Reflections of Earth was FAR superior to what replaced it and just by virtue of not having it, The new EPCOT is a HUGE downgrade.
Could do without the Disney songs strewn about it and it being an actuall new score..Highly disagree. It was laughably outdated, the new show is far better and has much more modern tech to improve
