Future World Skyline BEFORE ugly Guardians Building

[Railfan Andrew]

Below are two photos I took in January 2017 after seeing the sun reflecting off of the Test Track pavilion. I'm glad I have these, as that HORRIFICALLY UGLY Guardians of the Galaxy Coaster building has been constructed.

Ah the good old days, when park style and beauty was at the forefront. Now, I would rather have seen a stylish hotel across the ticket booths & mono station than that guardians building. Maybe they should have combined them into the GotG Hotel. I mean, the new skyline is already an eye sore.

I don't know how people give the Test Track exterior a pass while complaining about GOTG. ?

There's already a 600-page thread to complain about GotG

Because Motion is second only behind Communication and Energy in its beauty. Beauty derived, like these two, from simplicity of design and correspondence between exterior an subject matter. :swoon:

And yet, I'd rather another giant Guardian's box over a new World Showcase pavilion without any attractions- though neither represents a choice that should have to be made.

Here's what this building looks like compared to the rest of the skyline... WARNING, YOU MAY GET NIGHTMARES!

I agree. Much ado about nothing. Don't like the GotG building? Tighten your shot to exclude it and move on. Disney has to worry about all its guests and all its stakeholders, not just one.

By the way, here are some other pictures from that day

I’m more perturbed by the ugly water infrastructure in that shot then the GOTG building...

Personally, When TT 2.0 was TT 1.0, the exterior was industrial without being a boring square off white warehouse. It made sense then. Now, it doesn't make sense and I agree it needs a change. However, you can see over it and it doesn't fill the skyline completely. Is it ideal, NO. Is it far superior, primarilly due to the shape of the building, than GotG? In my opinion, yes. GotG should never visually compete with the park icon, Spaceship Earth as it does. That'd be like putting the Tron building (back coaster section) next to Cindy's castle.
