Sorry if this has been asked before, but will the Guardians building be bigger or smaller than the massive Soarin hangar?
Much taller, much narrower.

I hope they theme it. It has a massive budget after all.

They will probably theme it. It will probably be something around Xandar.
Therin lies a problem.

The real issue is fastpass plus. In general actually. Omnimover rides should not have fastpasses. Before fastpass plus, I never saw SSE with more than a 10 minute wait. Now it regularly hits 50 minutes.

Its also the fact with Epcot they took out lots of things from 90s which were family friendly and had no height requirements and replaced those.

Other than innoventions and Universe of Energy (which NOBODY went on anyways), I really don't see much of what got taken out. Spaceship Earth's wait time being 50 minutes is a very recent thing. Test Track and Mission:Space existed in the period in which it was only about a 10 minute wait so it's hard to blame the height requirements on those attractions.

I read it as either "spend part of the budget theming a box and put the box money into the ride itself, guaranteeing that it exceeds every expectation" or "the budget is too big for the kind of ride we're getting so they should stop inflating the current cost".

SSE has high wait times in the early afternoon because that is when the most people are arriving in the park and it is the iconic ride at the front of the park. After 4ish, it is still walk right one in all but the peak of peak seasons.

I’m shocked that the headline didn’t read “BREAKING: Unthemed Gravity Building Imminent at EPCOT”

Maybe he meant the 80s.

I think he means Horizons, WoM, and JII plus their pavilions.
And you can prove that?
Containing the budget is a problem.

What is the deal with this ride that its budget is so out of whack? It sounds like a slightly souped-up Rock N' Roller Coaster with spinning cars and a mythically large queue . . . is there something more to it that we don't know that's causing the price to rise to stratospheric levels?
Everything I read makes me think we're gonna be getting a decent-ish ride for hundreds of millions of dollars more than is necessary. I would love to find out that it's going to be much more elaborate than it has been made to sound so far.

They had the following:
- Spaceship Earth
- Universe of Energy
- Journey into Imagination
- Honey I shrunk the audience
- Living with the Land
- Food Rocks
- Horizons
- World of Motion
- Seacabs
- Cranium Command
All of which were family friendly I haven't included things like Body Wars for that very reason all of which were open at the beginning of 1990s and that is where they started to fail.

I just don't get why they are moving away from these type of attractions. These attractions were always a favorite of mine. Still to this day, my family goes on the dark rides instead of the newer coasters. If I remember correctly, most of these rides/attractions were people eaters.

I blame it on Project Gemini personally along with forcing sponsors to redevelop attractions.
