I'm Team How About Building Something Purpose Built Where It Belongs.

Since most probably would see GOTG as a fit in DHS, where could another construction project happen in DHS? If/when Disney announces another project at DHS where would you predict it goes? And this would be a new building from scratch, not like GMR and Mickey.
Another way of saying it: Does DHS have further room for expansion (Expansion pads like in Epcot) or current attraction taking up large amount of space (Backlot Tours, etc.)?

Next to Theatre of the Stars, Sunset Market Ranch, behind Indy, the whole Animation complex, what will be south and east of SWL...

It makes my blood boil knowing that quality expansion space is being used for that godawful Star Wars resort thing. Terrible idea.

Wow, thanks! That does give me more hope for DHS to continue to improve.

I am extremely optimistic about the future of the park. Could be a real competition between them all as to individual favorites in about 10 years. Just as it should be.

Thread name change? Has this now been confirmed?
Martin said that it is most likely going to be Guardians once again. (Unfortunately) There was a rumor going around for a while that it could be another IP, but does not look like that anymore.

Of course, they could. To me, if just seems like Energy is a pretty good topic for a section of the park with themes of The Seas, The Land, Space, Imagination, Transportation and Communication/Advancement of technology. Adding a GotG pavilion to that line up seems odd.
Putting in a Weather Pavilion would be fine, but as long as the concept of energy is valid, why change it? There has been an energy pavilion in Epcot since the park opened.
The UoE to GotG change IMHO would be like closing down the Living Seas making the aquarium the queue and replacing the whole pavilion with just a single 5-6 minute Nemo ride. While I don't care for Nemo in the Seas pavilion, at least the pavilion still has a "Seas" theme. When they added Soarin to The Land they didn't tear down the Land pavilion and just put Soarin in to replace the whole pavilion. This feels like what they are doing to Energy. They seem to be replacing a whole pavilion with a single ride that has nothing to do with energy or at least "Earth energy". I hope I am wrong.
Ugh. This is really dragging me down man. Was the other IP so bad?

@marni1971 Is the "show" that was also initially planned for the Guardians overhaul happening? Or are we only getting the ride?
Last I heard just ride. I hope this changes.

Would the show go in the current energy pavilion or a different building?
It would have gone in the existing building. Remember it's a HUGE building.

I guess I don't realize how big that building is to fit an extensive queue and show on there seems like a tight fit

Lots of history here but GOTG is not part of the Universal license and if they don't put 'Marvel' above GOTG they are good to go, so we think.
Guardians, being new and home grown, was always a grey area. I guess it's becoming more black and white now.
