News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[DisneyJunkie]

I'm all for this, in part because I hate the current attraction there and also because I love the Guardians.

From the old thread: "Or (crazy idea) maybe they'll try to make it look like a spaceship? It could be slightly modified to look like one." and just today "So my guess about making UoE spaceshippy...was right?! I'm kind of OK with the design of it. Sad about UoE."

On another note, and seriously, who do I reach out to get a mirror or two from the outside of UoE? I'd really love to have one, or maybe a small set of the tiles from the entrance wall. Like a medium-ish picture frame size of where the color transition happens. I smell a money maker for Disney...

I was at Epcot a week ago, I wanted to ride it but I forgot about it. Sad I never got to see it.

Awesome news! I can't wait to ride it in the near future I love Guardians of the Galaxy!

if i can't figure out how to get my hands on the "singin in the rain" lamppost they tore out of the ground at DHS then i don't think you'll get your mirror buddy

I knew it was coming, but now that it it's confirmed, I am bummed. I still think they should have rethemed rockin roller coaster to Guardians. Also bummed about another roller coaster I can't ride being added and losing the inspirational edutainment aspect of the original park.

Between Energy and TOT, I choose Energy. Ellen was getting long in the tooth anyway.

Can't judge you much for that because I like GotG and I think UoE should have done better even though I never rode the thing.

I mean, they could easily charge $20 a mirror. They're so small, maybe the size of my palm? It would be a easy way to say "Own a piece of Epcot history!"

So until Mission Space reopens this will leave only Test Track on that side of Future World.

At least the robot on the roof has been removed. Looked like Transformers. That's the plus point.

When people are talking about how they think GotG will ruin EPCOT and you're actually excited about it.

 

[jpeden]

So are we still expecting this to be a roller coaster or some other ride system?

 

[JohnD]

I wish the dinosaur animatronics could have been saved in some way...

Dinoland in AK. Enclose an area around the MK railroad track and put in dinosaurs, like DL. Two ideas that come to mind.

I would buy like ten.

You did not miss much. It has been outdated for years.

I...I want to ask but that sounds so crap I don't even want to know.

 

[RobidaFlats]

I know I posted this a long time ago, but it seems appropriate to dust it off. Somehow, even a couple years ago, I knew I should have left more space for "additions".

 

[LorangeJuice]

"The Guardians of the Galaxy-inspired attraction will be added to Future World, adhering to the original vision of Epcot’s Future World as the place to experience the excitement and adventure offered by space travel."

Soooo...let me get this straight...you're allowing me to experience the excitement and adventure offered by space travel right next to...Mission: Space....? (No, abandoned festival centers/storage units left to rot don't count!)

So, this and two coasters right next to each other in Tomorrow Land. Got it!

 

[KIGhostGuy]

And GotG fits in with EPCOT because...?
