Guardians of the Galaxy coming to Energy Pavilion at Epcot

[MCast]

For those asking about one last Ellen ride this year I think you'll be safe.

Lol. And yes. Rat will have to start this year to open 2019.

Would you say it's fair to be said that the first new addition to Epcot will be Rat? You'd think they would tackle Future World first.

 

[Thanks phoenicians]

Lol. And yes. Rat will have to start this year to open 2019.

Even so that seems like a tight timeline if they go at average Disney speed. Still though, interesting that this leaped over GOTG in terms of timeline. Imo FW, especially energy, is in much more need of help than WS is.

Thanks. That is in line with the schedule (if you want to call it that) I was provided. With Pandora and ROL, 2017 will be fun, but 2018, 2019, and 2020 should be quite pleasing as well. This should be fun. Hoping Alec Baldwin's Doppleganger does nothing to through a wrench in this monkey. . .

Trying to shoe horn a cutting edge ride system into a building not designed for it.

Test Track opened 17 months late.

Thanks, we were there in '93 and again in '98 - so knew Test Track was coming, knew it was delayed, but that was about it.

Possibly not the first. All depends on schedules.

What other project would be first, if not GOTG or Rat.?

Updates elsewhere in FW, serious phased work on the central spine, other WS enhancements.

Bring us up to speed: "Rat"?

UK addition should go in pretty quickly. Some FW work. Rat would certainly be the first MAJOR new attraction.

The potential Ratatouille ride going into the France pavilion

Thought it might be that. Just wanted confirmation.

okay getting hints things are moving now? Rat leading, but if they are looking at schedules has this been green lit? UK add also green lit?? enquiring minds want to know

 

[MCast]

Give me a new country pavilion, that's all I ask of you.

 

[P_Radden]

Give me a new country pavilion, that's all I ask of you.

...with it's own new ride of course

 

[MCast]

...with it's own new ride of course

Heck, I'd take just the country to start! But a corresponding ride would be most welcome.

You mean we haven't been talking about Rattigan and a Great Mouse Detective Ride??

Oprah has been handing out new attractions like crazy in Burbank. How about TWO new countries and expansions or updates to a handful of existing countries?

If it gets approved. The countries getting improvements (other than UK and France) will practically be a game of Plinko, one at a time, with some huge, and others... Not so much I expect the new country behind door (and timeline) number one to get approved. I would be shocked to see behind door number two anytime soon, let alone in time for the 50th. Now as for door number three... Oh, wait? Didn't you kniw? There is always a door number three.

Wait - for real? Two countries? Any idea of which continents they reside on? I love to play the guessing game.
