News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[Bocabear]

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.

And, perhaps oddest of all, Domhnall Gleeson, arguably the most prominent of all in his two rides.

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

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (2022) - IMDb

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (2022) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.

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.

Photo from another thread, but I wanted to put this somewhere:

This is really ugly. Look at the black smears running down the launch tube! They could have built something with a themed-front instead of trying to make it blend in.

I can’t see anything… it just looks like the barges, but zoomed in and blurry?

I honestly never knew General Hux was a Weasley boy. It’s clearly the same guy and I never made the connection.

Mind, blown.

And he’s the son of Mad-Eye Moody, the great Brendan Gleeson.

We just need The Banshees of Inisherin: Colm’s Irish Adventure and then father and son will both have rides at Disney and Universal!

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

 

[lazyboy97o]

This tweet is a bit misleading. The Theas are not like other awards where only one entry can win a specific category.

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.

 

[mergatroid]

And yet we're assured by some that nobody really likes it and it's just the music people like and they then only tell themselves that they've enjoyed it without meaning it

 

[preludevtec01]

Best ride I've ever ridden. Well deserved award. I'd still rather go to IOA than EPCOT any day of the week though. Pretty much having to win a knife fight to ride any attraction isn't worth it.

It leaves me with a smile and a queasy feeling. I'll be increasing the bromine dose next time. The ride is too much fun not to ride but the motion sickness is really bad (for me and my wife). Last time we went and rode TT single rider afterwards and, even though it was 15 minutes later, we both felt sick after the outdoor part of TT.

Horribly designed queue, holding rooms, etc.

Horribly designed queue, holding rooms, etc.

In what way? It isn't the greatest queue ever created but it's fine and the pre-show is entertaining (due mostly to Terry Crews).

It's cool and all but feel like it's not really worthy of a Thea Award. It's a coaster with projections. And it's not like the story is all that great. But that's just this guys opinion. Queue/Pre-show reveal was cool though.
