News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[PREMiERdrum]

The original idea was to have a store. But that one also had two GotG attractions.

Was this the store that was to be in one of the old Communicore spaces? With guests being directed from the exit, across the path, and into the other building?

The two buildings would have been linked.

I'm fairly certain I'm not the only one who thinks that would have been so, so wrong.

Honestly, looking at the gravity building in the recent aerial photos, it appears better connected to WoL than UoE. It just seems so far away from UoE.

Great stories...

When phantom opened (91)...it was a head banging mess of an arrow dynamics hybrid. Incorporating into the ravine like the legendary pippin/T-bolt was an interesting way of doing it...but the speed was way off. How often do you have block breaks BEFORE the loops?

Kennywood - and I know we’re off course - is just a collection of bygone and legendary rides. Noah’s ark is worth the trip alone...the jackrabbit (my first rollercoaster ever) has a belly drop that few can replicate. The switch track Racer - with the “touch points” - is now a one of a kind left...and the thunderbolts 1960’s redesign is one of the only bright spots in the dark period of amusement parks.

I highly recommend anyone who loves parks go or read up on it...it’s living history.

And yes - nothing will ever top the beast.

A trip to Kennywood will also help you find a new appreciation for Disney's maintenance and cleanliness.

Be prepared for something that doesn’t want to be hidden.

It’s an option.

A Xandarian aesthetic could fit, there is a futuristic look in those scenes.

That it could.

That it could.

Considering there's a Nova Corps ship in the concept art, the Xandar tie in to the Awesome Mix Live show, it stands to reason they'll use a similar storyline where Xandar is sponsoring the pavilion.

There’s a proposal for the box that’s not as vile as the DCA tower, but it still belongs in fantasy land.

The fact that it will attract more attention then the building it is connected to is bad enough, to say it belongs in Fantasyland makes me feel like it is just making a mockery of Epcot Center or at least the Imagineers are.

I guess future world now means "futuristic look" steel boxes housing roller coasters. Thank you for clearing that up.

There’s little justification that this does NOT belong In mgm...

...but you know - the stock has gone up (well it did till 3 years ago)...so the management is by default “great”

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Be as sceptical as you like.

I was there.

I didn't live in Pittsburgh. I said, if you'll notice, "north of P-burg."

I think it has been said it is going to be very short...

Looks very tall to me!!

Will this be the biggest indoor attraction footprint in the world? It looks like it's taking up about 4 acres. I think Shanghai's Pirates comes out second at around 3.

Probably, but it sounds better than leaving it plain, as if to pretend it's not there.

 

[mightynine]

Obviously, they are going to put gigantic tip boards on it that can be seen from anywhere in the park.

Kennywood is a treasure... Jack Rabbit is so fun and brilliantly designed, as is Thunderbolt. BUT... Steel Vengeance is an amazing machine and quite a giant upgrade from Mean Streak. Do check it out if you have the opportunity.

Sorry for contributing to thread derail. I think the Marvel logo is out of the discussion, right... so they can't do this:

If they say that the gravity building is not "IN" the theme park I think it could work.......
