News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[Incomudro]

Maybe all the new retro entrance additions and other stuff saying 'look over here!' will distract people enough from looking at the big blue box? I dunno. We'll see it firsthand here in 2 1/2 months. Once I see it in person I'll be able to give a more justified (albeit, still an opinion) critique of it....

I don't think you really see the box from the entrance.

oh. well.. never mind. lol
i thought everyone was complaining about from when the start their walk from the parking lot and stuff? Or looking at it from the monorail?

I don't know for sure - having not been there yet, but I believe that you see the building best from farther away - say across the pond.
Or from parking lot approaches.
I don't believe it looms over the entrance cue.
It's a matter of viewing angle.
I commute home from lower Manhattan for instance, and the closer I get to the Freedom Tower, the more difficult it is to see.

I saw THE BOX last week from:

The monorail
The walk into the park
The entrance
Over by Imagination
The southern half of World Showcase

It didn’t ruin my day. Everything breaking down did that. But when I saw it, I wept and said, “dear god, what is that thing!”

It’s not really visible from the entrance nor is it visible from most park areas. Where it’s most visible is from the parking lot (big deal) and from farther away distances (hotel towers) where it looks like the box Space Ship Earth came in....

It’s visible in east Future World, looming over the Play Pavilion.

It is VERY visible from the entrance, unless you’re blind.

Perhaps a topic for another thread elsewhere on these boards?

Out of all the comments this is what the building is reminding me of:

Question - have you been there in the last 3-6 months or do you base your opinion on what you read? It's possible you might be able to see it if you crane your neck or peer through the trees, but it is certainly not obvious in the Epcot entrance plaza. Annual Passholder - visit A LOT. Do you?

I’m there every week

I can see the box from my front porch.

With the nature of construction and the fact that the area around it is currently stripped of trees, what we're seeing currently at least should be the worst it's ever going to be. Still hoping for some creative solutions beyond that if it is truly obtrusive.

Just imagine how many images they'll be able to project on to that big blue box at night; it'll be magical

I’m jealous

The box is similar to the great wall. Both can be seen from space.

Hold on BLUE BOX!?!? Did Disney purchase Doctor Who rights now?

#SquareshipEarth HAS ARRIVED!!! Might put this on a T-shirt and wear it when I cover the GOTG Coaster next on DSNY

LOL

The tree line isn’t going to be raised that significantly.

Love this idea!

The last picture the Mars Rover took before it died earlier this month was THE BOX.
