News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[mightynine]

My god, I don't believe I've ever seen a purple hue so striking. Thank you Mr. The Zach, for allowing these barely worthy visual orbs to bask in the glory of such striking purple!

Just imagine what type of screws will hold up the stand-by and lightning lane signs! Maybe you shouldn't, you may not be able to handle such wonders!

Disney routinely has construction projects on night shifts

I wasn't talking about working at night instead of the day. I am talking about putting a third shift on a project because perhaps a project is 1372 days into construction, doesn't have a roof and is most likely at least 10months away from having a train running on it, despite being promised for October

I know what you were talking about. Disney routinely has construction projects that are active on all shifts.

Not much Mummy at all. Seems to be a Gringotts that doesn’t stop.

That would be a win in my book - the worst parts of Gringotts are when you come to a complete stop (in my personal opinion). Not that the show scenes are bad but a dead stop ceases just seems to cease all momentum and flow.

While it looks kinda cool, this story line is making me less and less excited about this by the day. We are destroying the entire theme of a park to add a pseudo space coaster. I'm not saying this is a decent idea or coaster and that entry is kinda cool. But, it's not worth the death of Epcot's ideas and sight lines.

why they let him rip the place apart is beyond me. chapek I guess. ug.

Because he's not a beach boy?

Look at all that rotating

It’s a one second video. You’re being ridiculous even for you.

GM literally pays in the billions for those logos and branding all over Test Track and the resort. Disney is not letting anyone get their company out there for free.

it’s not billions….

 

[celluloid]

it’s not billions….

Poorly worded on my part. I meant companies sponsorship all over including over at Test Track and The Disney resort sponsorships they have.

GM paid 32 million just for the first ten years of sponsoring the general motors pavilion. And with inflation...wow.(about 200 million) The last known deal was in 1999 as the ten year deal was then undisclosed and then they resigned another decade deal when Test Track was redone into what we know it has now.

Then in 1999 there was a ten year deal that likely cost more than that with Test Track becoming a major must do attraction of EPCOT.

Siemens, paid 100 million dollars just for a little over a decade with Spaceship Earth.

EPCOT has made billions just over the names on their Futureworld attractions.

Those look like Alucobond panels like on SSE. They come in different colors, ordered to whatever spec you want.

Alucobond is a brand of metal composite panel. These are Alpolic brand.

It would fit in well at DHS, but what do I know.

Agreed. And it would even fit well in MK where Tron is going. It could even fit in Epcot if the story started in the real world (sci fi, how science influences creation of comics, etc.). It's the blurring into fantasy that is the issue. (Which, again, MK or DHS would fix.)

It also looks like the upward helix before the return tunnel at the end of the ride

are canopies at entrances now called "Greeter Structures"? I have never heard that term in my life.
Are we going to star calling the turnstiles at each of the parks "Greeter Structures"?

This isn’t new.

No, because they are turnstiles.

The more common term for "Greeter Structure" is a guard shack, but the term "greeter structure" is popping up when its purpose is housing a greeter and not security.

This isn’t new. Do you always search for things to complain about it.

anchored by a ride that is less impressive then the DC dark ride at Six Flags across the country

We have a membership for Six Flags locally and, while they are doing better, that DC ride would barely be good enough for Universal, much less Disney.

I don't know that it was a complaint more than an observation... Do you always scour my posts looking for something to confront me about?
