I had to look it up I didn’t know he played Groot!

Speaking of Mulan, Why have they not suggested a Mulan attraction in the China Pavilion yet? Even a book report ride with a spectacular Finale scene at the palace with lanterns and fireworks would be a lovely addition!

So does Vin Diesel.
Yes, but Vin Diesel didn't participate in Cosmic Rewind... obviously someone thought they could use voice soundalikes for Rocket and Groot and save a bit of budget and only use "face" characters/actors for the show. It's not as noticeable for Groot but it stands out like a sore thumb for Rocket. One of the few negatives for the otherwise great attraction IMHO.

^They used all of them, and did so during the production of GotG 3.
But Diesel and Cooper wouldn't have been on set during the production of GOTG3 anyway — they do their work in a recording booth for the most part after principal photography completes. I think it's quite obvious that the voice for Rocket isn't Mr. Cooper. It's strange, because while I'm not sure if he did the voice for Mission: Breakout, that voice certainly sounds like him, much more so than CR.
I know enough not to use Wikipedia as a definitive resource, but the entry for CR seems to back me up:

If anyone has definitive proof that Cooper and Diesel *did* provide their voices, I'd like to see it.

FWIW, even IMDB doesn't list Cooper or Diesel (they don't make reference at all as to who did actually do the voices):


There's some thought that Sean Gunn might be the voice of Rocket for Cosmic Rewind (he was already on set for the filming for Cosmic Rewind and has stood in for the voice of Rocket in some limited circumstances) but I cannot find anywhere that definitively proves (or disproves) that.

Yes
I thinng GotG deserves it, such a great one off attraction, regardless of whether not you think it should be in Epcot or not

It's one of the few rides that leaves a smile on my DW and my own face every time we ride it. IMHO it'll have more staying power due to its design than Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance which has too many technical challenges.
