Guardians of the Galaxy coming to Energy Pavilion at Epcot

[Sir_Cliff]

There's competing ideas. One is a reuse. One is a removal and replacement with a ride system that would be surprising in this park.

If cost is a problem for a GotG Coaster, do you think they could build a simulator similar to Flight of Passage? Since FoP has gotten so many good reviews, it could be one way to go...

NOOOOOOO!!!! Flight of Passage is epic, but Epcot has so many screen-based rides & simulators. It's the only one at Animal Kingdom and that's why it works so well.

• Soarin'
• Mission: Space
• Nemo
• Soon to be Ratatouille
• Mexico
• Impressions De France
• Reflections of China
• O Canada!
• Circle of Life
• (Even Spaceship Earth's descent)

No just no PLEASE. EPCOT needs its Radiator Springs Racers or its Tower of Terror. EPCOT needs a super headliner class E-ticket. It has yet to receive it. Epcot does not need another screen ride for a loooong time.

Soarin' is secondary at DCA, but at EPCOT it gets nearly twice the waits.

I agree with you! I hope it's a roller coaster. But when @marni1971 mentioned cost problems with the coaster, the first thing that came to my mind was something similar to FoP.

I really hope I'm wrong!!

Why do we need to have Marvel in EPCOT? It makes ZERO sense.

Now, I'm not saying that this is a good fit, but, if the rumors be true that Wonders is being eyed for a GotG expansion or something similar, then you have Spaceship Earth, GotG1, GotG2, and Mission Space all in a row. Theme: Space.

I'm half surprised they wouldn't just turn Space into GotG

 

[aladdin2007]

Yes. As it stands Tomorrowland should be different to the one of today. And some other things.

if the Buzz lightyear ride were to go (wasnt it rumored this could become a tron theme overlay instead?) do you think they would keep it as an omnimover dark ride format?

Remember, they refuse to update Disney World's Space Mountain at any cost.

Mission:Space

Mission:Space

Oh lol. Thankfully that's going to be IP free.

Per multiple insiders Tron coaster is not coming to TL in WDW. Some type of redo is talked, but not Tron coaster per say.

so basically the rides i love in WDW/DL are being slashed and the rides that i actually i want in the parks we're never going to get...thanks Disney...

 

[PrincessJulia1207]

Anything else about the rumored name change?

what name change?

IIRC, insiders have basically suggested that the Tron coaster is not on the table for Tomorrowland, but that some sort of Tron themed attraction might be part of the makeover of that land.

The Tomorrowland name change? I've heard Discoveryland tossed around on here.

Still shocks me Tron made it into Shanghai. The IP itself doesn't have any cultural resonance. The movie aesthetic looks amazing however!

Supposedly they are planning to either try to appease us and/or give us the middle finger by changing the name back to EPCOT Center.

Would be irony at it's finest that they give us the name EPCOT Center back (if that's what they end up doing) as they go as far away from the original intent as possible.

Sure, thing of all the people who would eat it up and make 40 minute daily blogs about the NEW EPCOT CENTER!!!!!!!! The money would be huge by simply changing a name.

The real shame in all this? The same park where every ride was an E-Ticket in a new amazing way is needing to be saved by coasters and big IPS. I know no other word then pathetic.

Bingo!
