News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[ChewbaccaYourMum]

I feel like many people aren't realizing that the look of Mission Breakout in California Adventure isn't based on some common aesthetic in the GOTG movies... It's supposed to be based on the Collector's Tower that's located on the planet Knowhere in the the movie. Or it's supposed to be a second tower of his made in Disneyland or something.. not entirely sure... BUT point is I keep seeing people saying "hope this doesn't look like GOTG Tower" when there's no way they would do that since it wouldn't really make sense. This ride in Epcot is supposed to have to do with the planet Xandar and the Nova Corps in the GOTG movies. Which is a much nicer looking place than Knowhere. When I first saw the movie I actually felt like it looked like a Tomorrowland/Future World mix.. kind of... Maybe watch the first GOTG movie and look for the scenes when they're in Xandar. If they base this building off a building from there I really don't see why it wouldn't look nice and fit with Future World.

I'm guilty of saying that I hope they won't clad it like the GotG Tower.
You're right - they won't.
With Xandar as a source, and Epcot as a location - this structure will look like something in Xandar - which looks like Epcot anyway.
The cube we are seeing might only be the inner structure anyway.
It could be clad differently on the outside.

This is where Xandar Plaza was filmed. It is quite modern.

I've always felt that Epcot had a feel to it kind of like Brasilia. Fictional Xandar is very similar. I've always loved the architecture of Epcot. Its buildings really should be better recognized as the works of art that they are (and were, in some cases).

Hopefully, they'll do something over top of the big box to make it blend better with the rest of Future World. Epcot is a truly unique park and any additions really should try and maintain the stylistic feel of the rest of it. I can hope, at least.

So maybe like this..

Or this...

Got that part but if the launch is like RnR then it would need a steep almost vertical track to get to the top of the show building

Take note of the first loop.

Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: BREAKOUT! takes place at Disney California Adventure. Project Sausalito takes place at Epcot.

Take note of the first loop.

It's interesting to see how effective a few black lights and flat scenic elements can be when everything else is dark. With the lights on, it's just a standard coaster. With the lights off, it's an attraction.

They could always just surround it with a giant berm covered with grass and trees. Mount Epcot...

They could cover it with giant mirrors and adjustable prisms. Make it like a real life Death Star. Then they could smoke the rivals down the road.

The Death Box. That’s no moon, it’s a space trash can? Lol!

 

[ChrisFL]

yeah, Xandar is a great futuristic looking city, so I'm hoping they'll do something with that aesthetic

In that regard, and given its location in Future World - there's no reason to believe it won't fit in visually.

That’s my art

This is based on one of the later proposals for the space pavilion.

Why am I not surprised? It's hard not to run into your art when it's been posted/blogged all over the place.

Do you have a higher quality copy you can share or is that it?

I don’t think so.... I’d have to check. It’s a close approximation to the version Marty showed at the 25th and 30th.

Ah understood. On a side note, It's quite neat to see how the X-2 still lived on from that concept. It's truly a neat design.

I’d love to get my hands on the real piece. Such a nice design. And better location.

Sums up most of Disney's projects as of lately.

They will just paint some palm trees on the building. It will be cheaper

It's not like that hasn't been done before...

All I could think of was that with the lights on, it's just a standard launch coaster... that probably could've taken the GotG overlay. :/

Yeah, I hadn't thought about that, but you're right. I'm sure that the thinking, though, is that Epcot isn't appealing to the "thrill ride" crowd, so that's why it's being put there. You know, because Epcot really needed thrill rides. Sigh.

That's easy to do. Mt Fuji. Fitting thrill in without breaking Epcot is not that hard to do, to be honest.
