News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

In fairness, the tacky inconsistencies only happened when it became TT.

Yes!

And also the security cameras and yellow security fencing on top. Come on Disney, if you wouldn't put it on SSE, don't put it on the Motion building.

Mirrors would have given the building a modern tech look and brought it out more in competition with Spaceship Earth.
We would have had a giant mirrored cube competing for attention with a giant white sphere.
Much as I've got reservations about how they went about doing this, I think it is best that they decided to try to draw attention away from this monstrosity.

Well, the idea is that the mirrors are supposed to make the building invisible. Here's the idea:

Now I can't vouch for whether this would work or if it would inadvertently create a solar death ray, but the concept is to make the building invisible.

Not awesome for birds.

I can only assume that the ride will be air conditioned, and all the alligators will be escorted out of the gravity building prior to soft opening...

as part of the deal with the local alligator union, Disney agreed to relocate them to new swampland.

What, then, do you feel are the tacky inconsistencies you referenced?

I was more talking about the inconsistent panel qualities and other stuff like that.

Honestly not a great comment by me.

I wonder how many planes would crash going into MCO from the pilots being temporarily blinded by this thing while on approach?

Yes, but this is at ground level - where the surrounding trees are taller than the structure.
There are mirrored tall buildings in every major city and they do not disappear.

It's happened before.
Walkie Talkie City skyscraper renamed Walkie Scorchie after beam of light melts Jaguar car parked beneath it

And it's by one of the most famous architects alive. It's a legitimate design concern.

That's because of it's parabolic shape, something which the article made quite clear.

Thousands of other mirrored buildings don't have that problem.

I wonder if that’s for UoE or the gravity building

1350 is the address of the UoE, but hey could be using the same address for both buildings.
