News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[DreamfinderGuy]

I've inferred a rough layout based on what Martin has posted thus far. Not complete or 100% accurate but it's something. Seem good to you guys?

Edit: The gravity building was complete just fooling around. I don't expect it to look anything like that lol

Are you sure that isn't for a new Wonders of Life "Facts of Life" attraction?

So the backwards launch is true

So are we to believe there are elevation changes in the old building? The track looks like it crosses over itself. The launch tunnel is elevated, correct? I had previously assumed that all of the ride before and after the gravity building would be at that same level, and we would cross below the track to board and exit like in Gringotts.

Yes.

I wonder if they'll make any efforts at all to connect the attraction thematically to human achievement or global community. Or at least to have some sort of meaningful message. It seems nearly impossible that they won't even make any effort to connect it to Epcot's theme (besides "Peter Quill visited Epcot").

I'm also most curious about whether there will be any practical sets within the gravity building. If it's just dome screens, how on Earth are they spending, what, $400,000,000?

That's actually more of the UOE for the coaster infrastructure than what was originally inferred. It looks like 50%

Guys. I've decided to build my own version of Epcot Center that will be true to the original's mission statement about celebrating human culture, community, and technology. I'm even going to have a Switzerland Pavilion with an alpine mountain coaster that is in no way infringing upon Disney's Matterhorn Bobsleds(tm) .

I just need 300 acres and about $2.5 Billion USD.




Anyone want to chip in? Every little bit helps.

This reminds me of when those guys tried to make their own version of Star Wars Episode 8

Remember the spinning cars piece? It doesn't matter which way the train is going if the cars can be rotated.

Where will Zardu Hasselfrau be located?

He'll be in a rival ship that can talk.

Oh duh, you’re totally right

 

[Jones14]

There could be a thematic reason for a track switch, though. Maybe there’s a need for a dead-end in the story before the launch.

Just a few hours ago. 7-27-19 around 5:50pm Took this pic of a few pieces of track out front of Guardians building. Where fountain used to be. As seen from Monorail.

Looks like brake, launch, or transit sections. The fins/drive wheels are being protected by the brown metal (?) thing strapped to them.

Is it just me, or does it seem like the Orginal UO show building "Should" have been big enough to fit most of the coaster in it.. Unless just the orginal ride layout and forced prespective tricks in the Dino scenes were THAT good.

It’s not tall enough and they want an extensive indoor queue.

Here’s a few more pics from Saturday 7/27. This is showing the painting going on. Looks to be a dark grey. Not sure if it is primer or final color. On the right side behind the tree line. Couldn’t tell much of interior work from this angle at Monorail Platform.

@marni1971
Is the "train hold (BW Launch)" portion level or on an incline?
