EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[trainplane3]

Been following this thread for a little while without contributing, maybe this will bring you back on subject. This ride has been living in my head rent-free for a while. I built out the buildings to scale mostly cos i wanted to visualise the space, and pieced to gether what I could from the limited photos available. Ive gotta say im several months in and its still super puzzling to me, i wish i had a bit more info few more photos from inside or something, or a proper layout but anyway..

The only thing close to a real layout are these sketches @marni1971 doodled up a long time ago:

Looks like the final nail in the coffin for the return of Solar Panels.

they can be purchased by the pallet these days. Nothing novel about them until they need to go to be recycled.

that will be WallE's problem though.

If solar panels are put on a roof they will be the last thing to go up.

Agreed. Jury is still out on if it is panels or not. Hoping for spaceships but expecting panels. Woot.

Ellen's Energy Adventure closes August 13, 2017.

So dose it come with extra large bath bags??

Thanks, yeah saw those a while back and managed to put some of that layout in but seems to be missing a few bits of track that are visible.
I have not tweeted everything I have modelled so far. Cobbled together the first gravity run after the launch, and then built into the Lift hill which i believe can only go on the rear wall.....possibly into the single Dome. im just not sure what happens after that as theres a whole bunch more track and another elevation in the photos....plus its gotta get back to the station. its a mystery

I am recollecting here but I am pretty sure we got explicit confirmation that the solar panels are coming back (or rather, new ones are coming).

Honestly, what's there looks more like a mounting apparatus than anything final.

Wikipedia is showing that the track length for this is 5,557 feet, which would make it about 500 feet longer than Hagrid’s.

Do we know where this number is coming from and if it’s accurate?

RCDB actually lists 5577.4’ and that makes me think it might be a legit number.

It is. I know the bus driver who put it on wiki.

Ive modelled it as at least 5000ft and thats in 2D without any elevations. when I modelled the Epic Universe coaster it went from about 1300metres 2D to ~1800metres in 3 dimensions

Let me know when they do something about the gravity building.

That would actually make it the longest indoor coaster so I’m not sure why Chapek said “one of the longest.” I’m hopeful but still skeptical.

Yeah, it would be a rare case of them underselling something. Perhaps the track layout wasn’t entirely finalized at the time of the announcement?
