I won't link directly to it since this forum has some strict rules about links, but:I thought Joe made it clear he was ordered to make the facade so he did much like F&F was mandated by "management" so UC made it happen
So what was Rhode’s initial reaction to the Guardians of the Galaxy overlay? “That’s impossible. That’s a dumb idea. But then you have to work your way through that,” said Rohde.
Most of his other public comments (that I know of) are about how the team approached delivering a good experience with the mandate they were given.“There’s only a certain number of details on that building that make it look like a hotel. I can count them on one hand,” Rohde said during the D23 podcast. “If I pop those details off, I have a generic thing and I can make that generic thing look like anything. I bet I could make it look like something from the world of the Guardians — either from the film or from the comic books.”
Once the theme of the overlay was decided, it was up to Rohde and his team to create the backstory without it resulting in too many changes for the drop tower ride experience. “If it’s Guardians, that’s a whole different emotional tone,” Rohde said podcast. “It’s not like Tower of Terror. It’s not the same emotions. What are the emotions? How do we evoke these emotions?”
