Busch gardens is a nice place and visited a few times when they used to do free beer classes. I haven't been there since I found WDW and specially Epcot. Same with the universal.

That will be nice to see it in Epcot! Guardians of the Galaxy need to be good for EPCOT!

Horizons system moved like this...not intense at all...but allowed you to be seamlessly suspended over the sets...which was amazing...

Yes but it wasn't a roller coaster.

I wish people on this site wouldn't take things so seriously. It's a possibility not a likelihood.

All we have seen is a piece of track... we don't know if this is a rollercoaster either...

One of my favorite aspects of this attraction was the RV's. Changing elevation and being able to look straight, up OR DOWN and see more of the sets. Plus, the system allowed you to be in the middle of the giant Imax screens, so you were surrounded by the movie. So cool. I miss Horizon so much.

Combine your two quotes into one theory and I think you just confirmed the next IP-based ride. It's Up and you take a ride through Carl Fredricksen's house

So apparently Vekoma is in the process of assembling a ride prototype and it's interesting because it reminds me of an omnimover / horizons hybrid. The idea here is riders would load with their backs to the track and move sideways. The ride could fairly effectively combine video screens with extreme ride vehicle angle changes, speed and drops while still maintaining a fairly high rider capacity. It would be an interesting concept for a flight through space.
Could we be getting something like this for the Guardians of the galaxy attraction?

While capable of having a dark ride style component, this is a prototype track for a new twist on an established type of rollercoaster.

Unless you work for Vekoma or know someone who works for Vekoma you are guessing no differently than any of us.

I'm not guessing. It's a roller coaster.

He pretty much slapped Spiderman with Deathstroke. His first comics were horrible. Once they got it from a sadistic comedy point of view..it became good. And not thanks to liefeld.

Some people .....So, if the radio station I'm listening to is to be believed Tower of Terror at Walt Disney World will be closing on January 2nd for Marvel's Gaurdians of the Galaxy...
Would it kill them to do a little fact checking?

Wait... there's another Tower of Terror? You mean in, like, a second Disneyland? Disneyland... Disneyworld... what's the difference?

what if it had a kuka arm style "hand"?
imagine the vertical car that holds the kuka arm and then the kuka arm holds the passager cars.
so when the "fast" part of the ride starts, the arm retracts and keeps the people looking forwards and not sideways.

You don't know how often I get this from people.

Since Bing doesn't know the difference between DHS and DCA I had a mild heart attack this morning. 
I was a bit concerned the whole EPCOT thing was out the door and the rumors about DHS were true.

People have the best tool for knowledge ever invented right in front of them and they can't even use it to check all the facts...Since Bing doesn't know the difference between DHS and DCA I had a mild heart attack this morning.
