That is your justification as to why it should be at Epcot?

Bob Chapek Confirms Disney Will Overhaul Epcot
- Thread starter Bacon
- Start date
So it’ll work? The attraction has to be good enough to overcome the criticism. They weren’t desperate before. The park had fillers upon filler attractions and festivals.

DHS has tight streets lined with buildings on both sides, which helps hide the view unwanted buildings (like RnRC show building)
Epcot has large open spaces which make it really hard to hide anything

I have tried to imagine a specific location at dhs and it would be fine from certain locations as you say. But it would have overwhelmed from other areas. This is not the case at Epcot unless strategically placing oneself and using a telephoto lens.

It is the only logical place. And I think they will make it work story-wise. Time will tell.

When you say GotG is logical at Epcot, you automatically lose the argument

Since we don't know the future of Future World, it is tough to argue anything.
Debatable. Depends what you know.

@marni1971 Okay, so with what you know and what you're allowed to say, is the spine project they are moving ahead with the one that you were hoping for? Or is it a mix of both? Or, worse yet, the one you really didn't want? I know one of the plans was for a total Innoventions removal, so there has to be some silver lining in the new version, right?

Amen
Personally? It’s one I didn’t really want. Could have been worse, could have been an awful lot better.
SWL will be very nice.
Not zero reason. I predict unannounced Epcot transition, which is no different than Mission Breakout transition into Superheroes Land at California Adventure. Long term decisions are being made.

Possible if we didn't get the franchise at Epcot it would have taken over ToT.
Or Rock N Roller Coaster.

That would’ve been my preference. That ride is certain to get an overlay at some point, and they proved they can do Guardians quickly with Tower in Cali. I imagine it would’ve been even easier for them, since Rock’n’Rollercoaster has far less going on both inside and out than Tower did.
If they’re dead set on bringing a coaster to Future World, turn Energy into one where you learn about the science of rollercoasters a la Sum of All Thrills.
DHS gets a facelift, EPCOT gets a thrill ride and gets to keep its theme intact. Everyone’s happy.

I don't need to wait for it to open to know that it will be a thematic disaster... There is no way that a ride based on a franchise that is set on the present (and in space) will make sense in a park wich the theme is OUR FUTURE...
PS: I have no doubts that if instead of GoTG they had chosen Time Racers for that space everyone in this forum would be celebrating even with that horrible building.

There’s a whole thread on the SSE refurb

Well, I'm taking this as a real positive, and here's why- I think you wanted as much of the original spine restored, so I'm assuming your disappointment means it won't be. But you aren't too negative either. So I’m guessing this means a more drastic change that won't cater to nostalgia, but may still prove a decent replacement nonetheless.
If we lose the Earth Station and Communicore structures I personally think it's a step in the right direction though it will ultimately depend on how those spaces are utilized.
