i wonder why they limited themselves to such a small building for the ride, They had so much room to make the showbuilding much larger and make it a longer experience.

I'm saying that they don't need to lock into a time frame that takes place where the movies are now. They can just use the characters from say...Avengers 1 as they were then, but not give any context as to why some of them are still alive. They are just there and part of the ride.
And Tom Holland suffers from Ralph Macchio syndrome.

Absolutely. Linking rides to a specific time in the MCU would force them to update every 5 years, which Disney does not do.

I agree with you, but that doesn't mean Disney will see it that way.
It's easy to believe they will look around and say "Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans are no longer in our movies. Let's put in our new characters instead!" especially if they don't even start building the ride for another 4 or 5 years.

That would have been Iger’s play, certainly. Not sure what Chapek would prefer.

Reason #5,834 why basing entire lands on a single IP is not a smart decision. Especially an active IP.

Their is probably more artistic liberty in this concept art than the history of attraction concept art.

This seems to be the main part of the ride. Most definitely screened based.
Here is the description I read and of course it influenced my understanding of the ride.
Scot Drake, Portfolio Creative Executive at Walt Disney Imagineering, walked guests through what the attraction will entail, detailing how you’ll enter through the Avengers headquarters building and board the Quinjet to go on a mission, equipped with “protection and technology” offered by the Avengers members. But that protection is somehow quickly “ripped away” (presumably by the enemies who serve as the baddies of the ride) and we’re off on an individual flight experience which BlogMickey says will serve as the basis of your origin story as a superhero.

You're best off asking in the HK construction thread in the HK forum. Not many people in the DL forum follow the international parks.

Pardon, but back when the land was supposed to open last year this was addressed in an interview. It was said that the land was not connected to the MCU or anything that happened within that timeline. Likeness and imagery was borrowed from the films, but the stated defense for that is that comics have been reinventing their characters and stories for over half a century. It's a marketing line, sure, but this time I will give them a pass. Comics are a narratively fluid medium and it seems the land means to follow suit.
Edit: Rereading the quoted post I think I may have misunderstood its intent. Beg your pardon Chadwpalm.

No worries. Maybe I worded it poorly since I've had to explain it once already lol.
What you say makes sense. Wandavision, Spider-Man 3, and Doctor Strange 2 are all supposed to deal with the multiverse, so making Avengers Campus live in one of the other non-MCU cannon universes wouldn't be a huge stretch and allows them the freedom to include whatever they want.

Well, I think you are certainly in the minority on that opinion. For most guests, ROTR is a thrilling experience and most leave the attraction with wide smiles talking about how fun the experience was.
You certainly don't need to agree with the majority, but you should recognize that Disney did deliver an attraction that most find thrilling.

There is an episode of Clone Wars that would allow Galaxy's Edge to be part of a different timeline. This was brought up when Kathleen Kennedy's contract was said to be expiring and people wanting to replace her while using that episode as a way to de-canonize the entire sequel trilogy. All fan-made theory though.

I’m sorry, it’s not thrilling. It’s a good (not great) attraction but A bunch of loud noises and laser effects don’t make something thrilling on their own.

If you mean physically thrilling, I guess, sure. But Disney has always chosen emotional thrills over physical ones. I'd also call Indiana Jones Adventure thrilling despite the fact it doesn't have a loop or a big drop. It gets your blood pumping and your adrenaline up.

I suppose to a degree what people find thrilling is subjective.

It’s worth noting I’ve been to Magic Mountain once in the last decade and Disneyland maybe 100 times in the same time period. I find the first drop on POTC thrilling. I do not find the drop into the elevator shaft in ROTR thrilling.

Everything is subjective, but in this case, Mr. "I'm Going to Florida But Oh, Wait, I'm Not and Ya Know, I'm Just Gonna Go Along With All These Crappy Changes and Keep Giving Disney My Money" is talking about a physically thrilling ride, which Rise Before Dawn and Closed Longer Than It Was Open is anything but. It just glides slowly down hallways until the extremely brief hectic end bit.
