EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[lazyboy97o]

it was 20ft below the soil line which, and as i just told you, the edge of the park is graded at least 20ft higher than the water line, they shot it out with concrete like a pool. it was well documented by Bio

the bourne building will also be on graded landed, im not really sure what point youre making

The point is that the parks dig down, regardless of whatever excuses you try to concoct. The water line is not a constant and is something you need a geotechnical report to determine. The level of a nearby man made pond doesn’t tell you anything nor does the fact that a building pad was created mean anything.

Velocicoaster is the most meta themed of any coaster. It's theme is it's ... a coaster! In the Raptor Paddock (the pre-show even makes fun of that concept with Owen basically saying oh, what could go wrong>)

It is meta themed, but since Jurassic Park was always going to have ride and attractions as well as dinos, it makes sense that it would have an animal demonstration themed ride just as Busch Gardens Tampa does.

Now Disney's Incredicoaster....that dos the same thing and fails miserably.

I basically touched on it in my above post, but I don't think I'd call it a double standard as much as people expecting Disney to maintain their own standards

I think I have the solution...

Disney already doesn't act like its former self, so maybe the answer is to just stop pretending and own up to it. Take the UNI approaach of 'this is what we are now...'

So let's take the lead of the film studio.. and just drop Walt from everything just call it "Disney World+" and we can all embrace the new product free from any burdens of the past

What's odd is that this attraction has a ridiculous budget ($450 mil). We're all struggling to figure out how they get to that number without some massive exterior theming.

Didn't you notice the finish and polish of the interior of that gravity building? Looked like NASA assembly hanger... I bet they blew a hundred million on the structure and infrastructure itself.. just think of the kind of environmental and safety systems that space must have...

That is a tad too creative. It will actually all soon be known as Lightning Land.

They should because its so odd hearing "enjoy the rest of your day at Jurassic World" in one spot and then "enjoy the rest of your day in Jurassic Park" at some other exhibit next door in the same land.

Well, in theme parl storyline, this area is actually neither of the places shown in the film. So you could think of it as lands within the "theme park"

Surely you know that the water table doesn't sit on a gradient like the grading of the park, which drains towards the lagoon? Giving examples of Parks who have gone down relatively short distances into land they had already raised significantly when they build the park is not comparable to digging down below the water table whatever depth it would take to hide the guardians gravity building to keep Epcot fan boys happy, especially when the area of land is hemmed in by water management, but you go off about digging down 100ft or whatever you are proposing

My overly optimistic guess is March 3 for the start of the Flower and Garden Festival but I think I being very optimistic.

 

[Armerius]

lets hope we are right then

now that theyve boxed out play and are really moving on the landscaping around the area, hopefully pretty soon. But they still have to shoot the footage that will be playing on the ride, so we have to wait till then

yeah the shooting of the movie starts in november..for 6 months . so at some point they will . hopefully sooner then later.

and apparently GUNN was planning to film the scenes for the ride this year... so lets hope.

Is there any reason, beside guest sentiment, for this to open sooner than EPCOT’s 40th on Oct 1, 2022?

Unless they have some other festivities planned for it’s 40th celebration? With all the pushing of opening dates, it only seems logical that this ride won’t open until they can claim it as commemorative of an anniversary.

Eh, stay tuned I suppose.

I was going to say October 1 but then I remember some people saying that it is going to open sooner than most expect. I think the date I guessed is pure fantasy. Honestly, I think it is going to be October 1.

Could Disney have reversed the forced perspective trick they use on Cinderellas Castle? Make the building appear smaller than it is?

That’s what they did at The American Adventure.

The only other building that’s comparable to this in scale is RnRs show building, and it’s not exactly hidden either. Tron is a smaller building and they still have complaints about the big ugly box.

Disney really only has three choices… 1) don’t build big coasters, 2) give up the indoor aspect and make something visible like Velocicoaster, or 3) build big ugly boxes and try to make them disappear with blue paint. No matter which they pick people will be unhappy.

RNR doesnt really count since in theory its in a studio, the studio buildings really dont need to be hidden, since if we were in a backlot this would be normal. Now could they have themed it better... sure
