    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    If I am to assume correctly because of the ride being contained within a building, once the ride foundations are in place they have to assemble the ride track before finishing the building around it. This should give us a nice view of the ride system, at least the track, long before the ride...

    News Monorail Red in motion with guests on board and doors open

    That's a negative. Red is finished with paint, but now is being reassembled. I would expect another 2 weeks before we see red running around. Somebody probably just got coral or orange confused with the lower lighting.

    That is where the paint booth is. Red is just about finished with its full repaint. There is only enough room in the booth for one car at a time, and that is why you keep seeing it inch forward by about 60 feet. When it's done it will return to service and another train will go in its place and...

    Have you seen the side of the train after a week? It's got black all over it. This is from the brakes and resistor banks on top of the trains. The same dust transfers over onto the beam over time. There is probably some dirt and other contamination but it is primarily dust from the trains.

    The panel he pulled leads to the escape hatch. They have the cables so they don't fall all the way off, and need to be put back in place by maintenance.

    You're just spouting nonsense. Automation had nothing to do with it. Monorail Red is currently back at shop for painting. Not going to be in service again for a few months.

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    The circle you see there is a drop-off point for the backstage bus system, and there is also access to the tunnel directly south of it. That is the primary entrance for supplies going to the Electric Umbrella and Mouse Gear so it would need to remain open. I think this would mean that either the...

    Just out of curiosity, but are they planning on keeping the access road the same? If so then the tunnel connecting the old to the new will be elevated, and that could mean a suspended system of some sort.
