News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[smile]

I thought I saw a while back this would be like gringotts with coaster and screen elements and that sort of ride vehicle except more movement and maybe some aa’s? Does this seem about right or am I miss remembering things?

the queue's gonna be out of this world!

It makes sense really...

The most thematically disrupting presence in the park deserves the most visually disrupting presence in the park.
Keep it up Disney! /snark

Kabloom!?

Being touted as leaning on the family friendly side of coasters, I kinda thought this would be inclined launched. Wrong?

I believe that has been suggested (by non-insiders) and never ruled out (by insiders)... so still possible, just not confirmed one way or the other... it would distinguish it from the three other launched coasters on property....

Is it possible that the connecting tunnel is just that, and the launch would happen in the gravity building...? What if there's a dark ride sequence in the Energy building, head out the tunnel, and the launch/coaster system takes over?

Not sure if anything in the preceding pages has discounted the possibility...

So we can be pretty sure it will not be 133 feet.

I now wonder.. What if they build it as a continuation from the current energy design and style? aka the "cascade" fall with tiles.

 

[Cesar R M]

If we painted some happy little clouds on it, would that help?

Actually, now I have to amend my theory to: I haven't a clue.

There's a beam in the far corner as tall as the tower. Why is one corner a tower and the other a beam? Why don't the beams in between go all the way up?

My new theory: Mad Cow Disease.

MAD COW DISEASE THEMED RIDE BEING BUILT AT THE LAND.. CONFIRMED!

That's absolutely awful! Is what I would say if human eyes worked that way. But sadly our eyes don't have telescopic adjustments. We can adjust our attitudes, though, and look at things this way...

If you own this pic....it kind of made my day! Which in reflection shows how crappy its gone

Yeah, that's one of mine.

Hope your tomorrow is better!

Whatever that "elevator" is...it sure is gonna be a beacon to guests to attract them to the area...

I figured it out. They have been looking for a place for this..... Plus Peter Quill liked it when he visited....

Not to be Mr Contrary, here, but the entire side of UoE was visible for several years from inside and outside the park. Those trees have been growing for decades, at this point. Considering we don't know what the building will look like, it could be architecturally unique and themed.

Lets not start saying that UoE was some themed masterpiece either. From the side, it was a giant shiny sloped box with some colored lines.

The energy building is a visually striking architectural masterpiece! Next to SSE the most accomplished. And fabulously themed, magnificent unity between form and content.

Except it was.

Acceleration will be in the connecting tunnel.

Here's a pic of guardians from Japan today, no zoom so you can see how massive it is now. Last week I said you couldn't see it from inside the park. I have been seriously proven wrong.

 

[Haymarket2008]

Ooooooh boy this is bad bad bad.

You can see all of the future world pavilions from within the park. In what way is this different?

This is so, so much taller than soarin' (at least soain' is covered by trees now), is close enough to the other FW weenies to impact forced perspective, and is visually about half the height of SSE. I just hope it gets more than a plain grey gravity-building facade.

 

[EricsBiscuit]

Well I'm sure they'll paint it sky blue. Haha. I'm gonna hold out hope that they theme the building.

Because this may end up as a plain show building rather than a purposefully designed pavilion.
