Yeah, this appears to be much more of a coaster then Gringotts.

My opinion is that Gringotts is an awesome attraction, because of the seamless "amazing" theming that starts from the minute you see the building and then ends when you get off the coaster. However if evaluated in a vacuum the ride itself is good, but not amazing. This is a case of the whole attraction being better than the individual parts. I want to reiterate I think Gringotts is amazing. Was just trying to relay some thoughts about the actual ride itself. My point is I don't think GOG needs to copy Gringotts. They need to put out a great attraction though and I honestly don't mind if there is an abundance of screens on a rollercoaster. Cant wait to see the finished product!

Any chance this could be completed by EOY 2020?

Because that’s not really a key part of creative development and it’s the biggest new thing coming to the “new” Epcot.

Bruh they threw Rhode in front of all the PR for the Guardians overlay of Tower of Terror but not have him pull the curtains back for Disney's first built from-the-ground up Marvel e-ticket for Walt Disney World??

First and only most likely. I don’t think they’ll make an E Ticket for any of the other random heroes they could possibly have rights to.

There is no divine rule that whoever is presenting an attraction has to be a certain position working on it. Mission: Breakout! was not being built as the same time as a large park wide project.

Of course it will be. It’s a coaster. It’s new. It’s shiny. That’s more than enough for the target demographic.

I know this'll probably come off as sacrilege, but I think that each park in WDW needs at least one high action ride. I don't think MS fits that bill (almost, but not really, even the orange side). There has to be something in each park that will draw the whole vacation party into it without feeling like they wasted their whole day (kinda how I felt in HS before TSL and in AK before Pandora was open) in a park that might have 2 attractions that they like, with a FP at 10am and their next one at 3pm, and that middle time being wasted on crap (because I'm not plopping down $200 a day on merch in each individual park, that's saved for the last day when leaving with a stop at the Springs) because the WDW FP is a ponzi scheme. lol.

Is it to early to speculate on ride length? Any educated guesses?
Click to expand...

No insider knowledge, but piecing together 3 things we've learned. "One of the World's longest Indoor Coasters", Launch coaster, and on the intensity level of BTMRR. I will make a guess.

Mindbender is the longest indoor coaster at 4,198 ft... however it says "one of" not the longest. It will probably be closer to Rock n Rollercoaster at 3,403 feet.

Launch coasters obviously don't have the lift hill time that traditional coasters do.

Watching a Big thunder Mountain POV give me the following times:
22 seconds from start to lift hill
38 seconds on lift hill 1
30 seconds from lift hill 1 to lift hill 2
25 seconds on lift hill 2
26 seconds from lift hill 2 to 3
20 seconds on lift hill 3
25 seconds from lift hill 3 to brake run
20 seconds from brake run to unload

Now to convert this level of intensity to a launch coaster of 3,500 feet!
Big thunder mountain has a length of 2,671 feet
BTMR spends 83 seconds on lift hills. Assuming the lift hill is 5 mph. BTMR travels about 600 feet on lift hills
BTMR spends 20 seconds from brake run to unload and travels ~7mph. BTMR travels about 200 feet on the brake run.
The rest of the run covers the 1,871 feet in 98 seconds for an average speed of ~13mph (slower at tops of hills, faster in valleys)

Taking all of this into account... I predict
~20-30 seconds from load to launch (400-500 feet)
~10-20 second stop before launch (similar to SDD)
~20 seconds from brake run to unload (~200 feet)
Leaving ~2800 feet of track between launch and brake run. IF it averaged ~13mph it would take 2 minutes and 27 seconds

Total run time of about ~3 minutes and 40 seconds.
For reference Rock N roller coaster from launch to unload is about 1 minute 10 seconds
Tron is from launch to unload is about 55 seconds.

I have no idea if anything you just said is even remotely accurate, but I just wanted to offer you a like on your post and a good job because it sounds like you put a lot of effort into that and everyone needs a pat on the back sometimes

Longest can mean two things (time and length) but in the coaster stat world it means length of track. The longest coaster in the world is Steel Dragon 2000 at 8133 ft, longest in the US is Fury 325 at 6602 ft.

The Incridicoaster at DCA is actually #7, even with how big that building is it’s not going to touch those coasters; Exhibition Everest is currently the longest coaster at WDW at 4424 ft, if this coaster is longer then Everest, that’s going to be one heck of an indoor coaster and there will have to be a portion of the ride (not just the station) in the old UoE building, or there will be no room for theming in the gravity building because the track is going to twist too much on itself.

It will be one of the longest indoor coasters.

The Beast is the longest coaster in the US at 7359 ft. Fury 325 is the longest steel coaster in the US. The records for indoor coasters are not quite as impressive though, the longest indoor is just over half the length of the longest outdoor coaster. If this was going to be the length of Everest, they would definitely be claiming it to be the longest indoor and not just one of the longest.
