Don't take kids on it then. Simple.And I wouldn't exactly call the 42 minute very slow moving ride very kid-friendly.

So now that we all know the travesty of Guardians is coming to Epcot, can insiders dish on what the other planned IP's were for this attraction?
The other one I'm aware of this time around was about the big bang and energy - the event, not the TV show.

That...would've been perfect. Well as perfect as you can get. Would it have been a coaster as well?
No coaster. A heavy refurb and refresh of the existing pavilion.

They were considering this again?? As in a month ago, when the Guardians plans were in jeopardy? I knew about this plan from several years ago from the fantastic concept art you shared.
This was a reworked version apparently.

Wow........I'm shocked. A non-IP attraction of large scale in 2017?? Color me impressed.

I do remember the cool robot dinosaurs, still there btw, but, until Ellen came in there were absolutely no interesting films about energy, just one long infomercial for Exxon. It, to me, was the most commercial pavilion in all of WDW.
I'm sure it would have been more interesting than Ellen for guests with more than one brain cell. A rare breed nowerdays I know.And would it have been 42 napping minutes long?
I didn't know Exxon of 1982 were into solar energy and nuclear fission.
It's a popular misconception the original pavilion was about petrol. Half the entire attraction - including preshow and diorama - was about renewable energy.
Yes, a GotG coaster is still slated to take Ellen's place. The coaster will be in a new building to be built behind UoE and WoL. The current UoE building will be gutted to make a giant queue with several preshows plus the loading/unloading area.

A very small portion of a 45 minute show, Martin. It was the driest show ever and offered so many things that we already knew coupled with implying how lucky we were to have Exxon working for our benefit. Pretty much around the same time they were forced to clean up the Valdez mess in Alaska. I was then, and remain, unimpressed.

Sad!That's why with the sign they can use the "MARVEL" Colors to identify what they are promoting
However, HKDL's summer of Heroes event is using the MARVEL name in it's ads...
