EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[retr0gate]

I like both versions of Test Track for different reasons. I don't think either outdid WoM, but... I can understand where you're coming from on that one. The original Soarin' "fit" better than the current CGI bastardization. IMHO.

Conceptually, the current Soarin' is a better fit for EPCOT. In terms of actual execution, not so much. The CGI ruins it as you said. In a perfect world, however, I think Over California and Around the World should've been park exclusives on their respective coasts.

Okay but now I want Disney to put this next to the ride.

Same...like that would be good epcot filler.

Can’t argue with that. Although Around the World should have been much better than a CGI-fest. Just terrible. Not to mention the Bent Tower…

I was at least hoping that The Guardians are showcasing why humanity is worth saving from a force that feels humans are pathetic and do not deserve to live with the antagonist chosen, at least that would have been an easy one.

Looking at the photos, I’m starting to wonder if they are going to add an exterior attraction sign or if they are going to use more low-key signage like on Flight of Passage, Smugglers Run and Rise of the Resistance.

Couldn't agree more. The first time I saw it I was like " an I watching, a Pixar movie from 1998?"

Really liking that they added some additional low palms to the back of the planters. It needed some taller greenery.

I've heard a few people say that there will be no video recording or photography allowed during any of the previews up until opening day on May 27th. This seemed a little odd. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

After media preview on May 4-6, it will be fair game to record for AP previews.

I think that is very unlikely. I expect the media previews will unleash everything on May 4.

Disney will release their B-Roll between May 4-6th and odds are you will see the usual players with 4K video on YouTube in that time frame as well.

Could mean nothing but if you go to virtual queues in MDE, Epcot comes up as an option (just no queues to join)

That's been there on and off since they removed Ratatouille from the Virtual Queue.

So strange to see photos and headlines about these construction walls coming down at GotG and Connections, and yet EPCOT still has a massive amount of them left, despite most of these projects now being complete [or cancelled].

The order they chose is weird, you’d think they’d want Cosmic Rewind to open as the final part of the project and not in a park full of construction walls.

Exterior lighting debuts tonight - use the > on the right to swipe through the photos.

This is a park in desperate, 15 year deficit long need of new attractions. This project has been under construction for nearly 5 years. They need to open it. The hub walls remain only because of wanton mismanagement and disregard for the park by the folks in Burbank.
