News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[larryz]

One of my fave rides anywhere is Revenge of the Mummy at USF. It's a coaster, has show scenes, and even though it is only 2.5 minutes long, I enjoy it a lot. Is this Guardians attraction expected to be similar in in any way?

So... is it a show... or a ride?

Coaster/dark ride hybrid, like 7 Dwarves, Mystery Mine, or Dragon Gliders.

I didn’t realize discussion wasn’t limited to the ride system.

Could’ve fooled me.

well the rumbling on the last page or so related to the new ride system and how it will allow Disney to potentially "aim" riders at show scenes and I was pointing out that marni has said the main ride portion wont have true scenes.

hope it doesn't end up like the 7DMT where it's really cool on paper but utterly silly in implementation that did nothing for the ride except increase the cost

Corrected lest a clickbait Youtube video quotes me on that.

The period after load to launch could be quite interesting though.

I know there will be screens, but could we at least see some AAs, perhaps even an AA tribute to UoE or if it has to be screens, maybe the Radok screens will make a triumphant return?

I'll eat my hat if they rebuild the Radok screen, but building a second Rocket AA is a lot cheaper than designing the first.

Heck, Garner Holt has at least produced two of them for California. How many libraries does their Tower have?

Marni, are we moving from sitting position to "flying" position after we load and before we launch?

Not that I know of.

Will/could the gravity portion at least have something to look at (possibly on the level inside the Tron gravity building) or are we looking at something more or less fully in the dark (ala Space Mountain)?

 

[Coaster Lover]

Just two... interesting fact, the animatronic had to be mirrored based on the mirrored layout of the two rooms so the two animatronics aren't identical but are mirror images of each other.

Hmmm. Is Rocket left- or right-pawed?

 

[RobotWolf]

I am very thankful for Garner Holt in general. If they weren't around, I imagine we'd see even fewer new animatronics than we do now. They make amazing bots. And they're always innovating and advancing the craft.

Ambidextrous apparently...

That's a window where they can make "Peter Quill visited EPCOT" more than just lip service.

Demonstrably.

 

[marni1971]

Will they upgrade the projectors soon?

And they’ve just done them again apparently.

Here’s an article that talks about the upgrades. Can’t wait to see them for myself!

Same! Cancelled today's FPs just to see them. They sound good!

Good. An upgrade was needed, IMHO. I was surprised at the quality last year. It was lesser than I expected.

Please let us know what you think. I won’t be able to get there until next weekend.
