Either the lighting is really bad, or Zach aged 35 years during the time this project has taken to complete.

As if Disney hasn't given me enough excuses to be incredibly upset with them, I had a reservation from 05/7 'til 05/14. I never received an email from DVC telling me they would have the DVC member previews. I just learned because I got here.
This company is being so mismanaged....

He’s actually something like 40 years old, despite the fact that he looks 25 at times. In this picture he looks like he’s just proposed a trade offer!

Adding the capacity you propose would not change the number of event slots they had available. If you only have 5,000 (absolutely made up number) and you have 50,000 who want the event slots, adding more positions for people to concurrently be processing transactions, while completing the sign-up doesn’t create more slots. You have to have a way to rate limit the pace of ‘sales’ so you don’t get people started on a transaction and then run out of inventory while they were in process. That triggers a whole different level of dissatisfaction.
This is no different then AMC getting slammed when ticket sales opened for the latest Marvel movie, or when major concert tickets go on sale or big events like Comic Con. You must rate limit the pace of sales so you do not oversell.
The method Disney uses is completely valid to manage limited supply against significant demand in excess of capacity.

As someone with a good bit of gray hair, from the front it's not that noticeable. But if the lighting is right or you're taller, then you'll see how much I really have.
Flashback to last year of someone coming up to me at a event while I was sitting: "Hey Train! How have you- OH WOW you're gray!!!"
I don't disagree on the event capacity. Figuratively speaking, there are hundreds of slots and tens of thousands of people trying to book one at once (I don't know any of the numbers involved). I can understand that. Maybe they could limit the number of spots in the reservation queue to, say, 200% of the total number of available slots? Anything left after that initial wave gets opened up to those who couldn't get in the first time. Armchair imagineering, I know, plus technical challenges (This is Disney IT, after all, where nothing seems to be simple, or intuitive).
I was a bit off/misdirected in my original comment, thanks for calling that out. In the past, my wife has been "on-hold" on the WDW website for 45 minutes just to look at available rooms (when she was looking for a cash room somewhere). That's a capacity problem. That sort of thing is simply not acceptable. The on-going (decade-long?) email problem is not acceptable, either. Outsourcing (and what could very well be weekly churn) and lack of tribal knowledge and documentation will create far more problems than any money saved by outsourcing. Been there, done that, have the t-shirt.

As a former AP who hasn't been back to the parks in a couple years, this was too good of a deal to pass up, even factoring in the $120 D23 membership (total with tax and shipping). Remember it also includes parking so all in cost for 2 of us was under $200 for Epcot after 4 admission, parking, $40 gift card, reserved Harmonious and of course the new ride to cap off what should be a great evening!
Marvel announces the antagonist in Cosmic Rewind -
"A leisurely tour through the Wonders of Xandar is about to take a turn! When Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind opens at EPCOT at the Walt Disney World Resort this summer, be prepared to come face to face with Eson, who Marvel.com can reveal is the antagonist of the attraction!
Visitors hoping to explore and learn a little bit about the first-ever other-worldly pavilion in the area will get more than they expected when Eson, a Celestial that has been watching Earth for eons, makes a startling appearance. The Celestial is looking “to right a wrong in a big way,” and the Guardians of the Galaxy — Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot — step in to help save the day. But, they can’t do it alone and need our help to stop him from completing his grand plan!
What does that entail? While that remains to be seen, you just know there are going to be some rockin’ tunes along the way to saving the galaxy, again. Find the first look at Eson from the attraction, above!
While Eson might be a stranger to visitors at the Wonders of Xandar, he’s no stranger to the Guardians. While the Celestial and the ragtag troop have never crossed paths before, Eson was once in possession of the Power Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones, as the group learned in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Now, he’s clearly set his sights on Earth, which can hopefully be thwarted before full destruction!"

At the end of the article they still write “It is also one of the longest enclosed coasters in the world.” Are they expecting a longer indoor coaster to open within the month? If not, it should be touted as the longest right? They arent even giving their own ride the credit it deserves haha

Because it probably isn't the longest in the world right now.

They should market it as "The best Six Flags-level attraction in EPCOT Center!"
