News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[KikoKea]

Just a thought that's been popping around in my head-
So, the new Guardians ride is based on Quill visiting Epcot as a child? Wouldn't it be ironic if that visit to early Epcot was Quill's inspiration....and the ride commemorating it is located in what is now a poor, pale version of Epcot's former glory? Even more if Disney puts clips or items from old Communicore in the show.

I’m sure Star Lord will tell us how Epcot is more timeless, Disney and Epcoty than EPCOT Center ever was.

The civil engineer for that particular section accidentally turned italics on while preparing the plan

Stupid decision not to have the gutters inside the walls, instead of outside.

They just draw more attention to what is supposed to disappear with the sky

The gutters are on the backstage side. They would never have something that ugly on stage silly

That golden dome is the WoL pavilion. While the whole BBB is technically backstage, those gutters face the center of Future World.

You are correct (It's like talking to my wife). It's just I didn't remember that wall being all that visible from FW, but it must be. At least when walking toward WoL

You can even see the building from World Showcase

I see nothing, just blue sky with a yellow arrow

When others zig, that one zags.

Yeah that drain pipe is totally killing the artistic aesthetic of that beautiful blue behemoth.

Here is a unique angle of the BBB from the GM lounge inside Test Track:

On a side note, I didn't ever notice the box unless I was looking for it in future world, but very noticeable from WS.

Which is worse? The blended blue box or the concrete/steel pseudo colosseum in front of it? I would venture to say both are eye sores, but at least when we were there in May the BBB blended well from most vantage points. You had to actively search it out on the landscape. I have a picture in the same spot as this (unzoomed mind you) and you really have to squint to see the BBB. The color they chose for that monstrosity actually works (on the 300+ sunny FL days/year).

Eventually we will all accept it and quit complaining about it, since it is a good color. That being said, they should have put it in DHS versus Epcot and none of this would have mattered. It's just all these knee jerk reactions and quick, thoughtless decisions that are so annoying. Two new coasters are great, and I will, of course, ride them. I just wish they had put Tron in Epcot and Guardians in DHS. Then let me buy park specific items in Centorium instead of the same plastic junk in every store in every park.

They really should remove that yellow arrow then.

So as far as I know, one of the bigger pieces of info that seems to be floating around in regards to details of this ride is that the initial launch will be backwards, and then obv will pivot throughout with it's rotating seat design. Have there been any other good bits of leaked info recently? I'm very curious if D23 will showcase more art and possibly images of what we might see in the cue/actual ride. I'm hoping that since GotG is WDW's really first and one of probably very few Marvel IPs that WDW can actually implement, that they'll do right by it since they can't hang their hat on Iron Man or Captain America for the foreseeable future. And since there doesn't seem to be any scuttlebutt on additional Marvel IP attractions in WDW at the moment, GotG seems to stand as their one instance to showcase Marvel. Fingers crossed it impresses greatly.
