News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

What even is the GoTG Attraction? I’ve read the release note and can’t tell if it’s a ride, an observatory, or something in the middle (something that would acts like Stitch's Great Escape, start as an observatory and go into a ride).

The Epcot Experience teaser for this ride does not make me optimistic that it will fit in EPCOT at all. Not that I had high hopes it would fit to begin with, but the teaser is all about Rocket cutting off the actual pavilion/embassy speech and blasting music instead. That's at least somewhat on theme with the movies themselves (although it felt a little off even for the movies to me), but it really reinforced my belief that it belongs in Hollywood Studios.

I'm sure it will be a fun ride, but the teaser makes it seem more like a RnRC or a Tron than anything that should ever go into EPCOT.
You mean how it mocks what EPCOT Center was about with informative and inspiring pavilions that sought to both entertain and inform?

Something I noticed, the launch tunnel to the gravity building doesn’t quite line up with the Energy building, so it kind of extends to the side a bit to connect. Looks quite jarring right next to the dark grey of the building. I wonder if that wasn’t the result of a mistake in the measurements during construction.

A mistake like that would be easier to fix, and at the contractor’s expense, than redo all of the things that would be impacted.

Any guesses or information out there that would suggest a potential length of the ride.
I'm really hoping its longer than Tron. A 1 min rollercoaster is just plain silly.

I may be COMPLETELY off with this, but for some reason I remember someone (Marni?) saying this would be in like the 3-5 minute range?

They are aligned.

What's not perfectly aligned is the angle the photo was taken.

So you're seeing the bump between buildings with different heights.
The highest point of UOE, and the diagonal "ramp" of the gravity building
