Guardians of the Galaxy coming to Energy Pavilion at Epcot

[marni1971]

No, I compared Uni keeping Marvel to Coke selling Pepsi products from Coke vending machines. Never thought Uni would do that. Yet here we are. Whatever makes them happy. And as long as those checks to Mickey don't bounce.

You misunderstood me. But you probably know that.

As in repeating mistakes.

I thought they were going to reuse the energy building but now that may not be the case?

 

[sonoma15]

Please no...

 

[SorcererMC]

Problem is the plans will already be in full swing construction, so Bob's successor, no matter how good or bad he is, will have no choice but to continue it and make the best of a bad scenario. A shame, really.

Probably. 'It's all downhill from here' as they say.

I'm sure that WDI will do the best with whatever mandate they've been given...but that still doesn't justify awful decisions by mgmt.

Everyone always mentions a Tesla/Elon Musk exhibit as an idea for Epcot. As much as I think it's a great idea, I don't think GM/Chevrolet would be too happy about that happening, so you can pretty much just rule that out.

Everything I've seen says reuse.

oh okay maybe he met something else regarding demo

Marni. Please tell us Impressions de France is safe.

We will be selling a a Pins Cup in a Pimp Cup, yes. There will be a bar. And even our bar will have a bar.

I suggested to them we could reuse the body wars simulators for an instructional film on how to avoid catching VD from all the ladies on the job.

We've also pitched Tunt Tragedy: The Dangers of Sniffing Glue as Lana Kane's Spray and Pray shooting gallery. (Like buzz light year with ****** hands). Pam will be taking over test track as her Yakuza driving school and Barry will be over at a rethemed Mission:Space about what it's like when you're trapped on a space station.

Yes they should do this

Remember, the ride is just one element of the pavilion. It may be its own thing, but the exhibits within the pavilion still educate you on marine life often in ways that connect it to the movie. An excellent example of this is Turtle Tak with Crush, where children can ask Crush questions that apply to real world sea turtles. Take a look around sometime, and you will see that the pavilion's message is still intact, but the way in which it's delivered is made more relevant towards families due to its connection to the animated classic.

Sorry, replacing one of the pods with fish from nemo and putting in the animated m&g did not connect the 'where is nemo' plot of the ride to the living seas. The seas lost its connecting fiber when they took away the seabase and the message it told... Leaving behind only the animal exhibits and what their placards say. Nemo did nothing to replace that. It's value is it out a cute ride in where we had dead abandoned space before (sounding familiar??)

The seas is a great example of how Disney took ambitious... Wrapped it in story and fantasy/futurism/optimism and the resulting sum made it a true unique experience.

Now it's just like your regional aquarium but left stale.... Who rolled in an inflatable slide in the parking lot to entertain the youngin's

Nemo fits the decor and makes kids interested in fish... Because they look like the characters. That's it

I can confirm with what I've heard as well... another attraction possibly going in a current spot to save $

I know it seems crazy given current decisions but I think Disney is actually smart enough to NOT touch spaceship earth. Its actually the icon.

They have explored options in the past of changing the attraction. I believe Time Racers was the concept during the last blue sky period.

 

[MerlinTheGoat]

Are either Spaceship Earth or American Adventure in any danger here? Those along with Living with the Land are some of the few remaining EPCOT classics that still allow me to enjoy the park.

This is for @marni1971 @MansionButler84 @articos or anyone else who can or will possibly answer.

belowthesurface said its not safe

 

[Kylo Ken]

Pfft just rebuild and update Horizons and call it a day.

 

[flynnibus]

Isn't Morocco the only country that actually sponsors their pavilion anymore? With everyone else, I think Disney just kind of runs things.

Moroccos unquuieness was that it was sponsored by the government directly.... Verse corporations or tourism entities

I am sure they would never do anything to change Spaceship Earth....

Thank goodness

Everything I've seen says reuse.

I think its a pretty cool building with solar panels already put in on top. It would be a shame, (unless the building itself is in horrible disrepair) to rip it down, instead of just gutting the interior for a new ride.

It will become the entrance to the new Ratatouille ride.. or attraction.
