Guardians of the Galaxy coming to Energy Pavilion at Epcot

[montyz81]

Yes it was.

HIGHLY recommend the following documentary for some great history regarding Arrow and Disney (including the Matterhorn):

Just watched that entire video. That is way cool. It is a must watch for any theme park fan!

I don't believe it is this ride system.

Avengers, Assemble!

If it makes you feel better, you average 1.56475 'likes' per post, while Martin's average is 3.36411 'likes' per post. So don't let the 102,000 posts behind him get you down; he's only a bit more than twice as awesome as you! Feel better now?

Yes, yes I do. Thanks. Even though, I assume this response will drag down my average a bit. . .

 

[Thanks phoenicians]

Anybody know what the current timeline is now that this is delayed? Also are there any proposals for WOL pavilion use out there still?

At least we have Mission: Space if the others don't.

This feels weird. On one hand, Guardians of the Galaxy feels so inherently un-EPCOT.

On the other hand, UoE and WoL feel so inherently un-Future World.

Frozen is un-EPCOT.

I'd be happy if they just wake Gary Sinese up before he does the intro.

Or fix that awful haircut.

Anybody hear anything new?

I believe on one of the other threads it was mentioned that this has been delayed/pushed back to 2021 and Rat will take its place in either late 19 or early 20. Sounds like it's still moving forward but not sure if it's actually green lit or what.

To clarify....
This was originally scheduled to be open around SWE timings to ease crowds swamping DHS. But due to technology they are using in building it was not designed to handle, it is being pushed back. So instead they pushed up putting Rat ride in France to help crowding, and plan to put GotG in UoE by no later than 2021 or so, in time for the 50th. Pretty sure this was all by @marni1971

Sorry for the bump but in the new MB comic they say "did you say Epcot?"

Well, this project may be shelved, according to other threads.

I got the impression, from what little was said, that this has a chance of not even happening.

It's not shelved its Delayed.

A minor update on the slipping timeline.

Internal, management level and technical problems have slowed development. If they'll be enough to stall or even scrap the proposal time will tell.

That's all I can say for now.

I know that also. But a UOE replacement is still likely

Which one do you think they should go with?

Thank you for the update. So for now its more important to grab that last ride over on the great movie ride if one can, rather than energy.

Go with the one without an IP that is about Energy! Is that so hard Disney?
