News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[tomast]

They better hurry, they only have 3 years left to go!

Haha yes I know, there is plenty of time (by the way, I am sure they won't make it on time) but I always thought that they were going to remove the logo or the sola panels first, not the mirror tiles!!

 

[DreamfinderGuy]

Mirrored tiles are nearly all gone as of today, also worth noting that there’s some sort of visible thing inside the preshow theatre, and I swear that there’s already a Guardians prop where the mural used to be, but I unfortunately have no proof. Anyways, here’s some pics from today

I didn't quite take into account just how long that tunnel is going to be and how far behind the Energy building the Borg cube is. Wow.

Thank you for the import.

Link is around 210ft. That’s around the length of the side of the current building, from the entrance corner and along the ribbed side to the apex of the roof.

The RnRC link is 190ft.

Here's a couple from yesterday from a very empty Epcot. As many have noted, the mosaic is gone. I still can't believe how large the show building is

By golly I think you’re on to something...

Forget Guardians of the Galaxy...make this a Star Trek ride battling the Borg!

I think they should theme the outside of the box to look like a parking garage.

Haha I liked that lol

Some parking garages, especially the ones with the planters, look much better than the ride warehouses painted go-away whatever.

True story. They could also cover it with dirt and grass and theme it as a retired landfill. At least it would look nice.

Good idea. There is a building next to TSL and it really is a parking garage. Theme this to a parking garage. No one will know the difference, except it isn’t.

Am I the only one who is very confused as to why the safety information stand thing is still there? The one in the fountain was gone within the span of a few weeks, and this one is still here

Yeah, there's only 3 years left to do something with it!!

I think you're onto something here...

I thought back to the question earlier in the thread about 100 foot tall palm trees. My first idea was that there could be tiered planters ending at 50 feet tall so then we'd just just 50 foot tall palm trees.

But other shrubbery would be preferable, obviously:

Then I started to think about the Hanging Gardens of Babylon look with vertical planters:

But then my Ivy League roots kicked in and I had the idea of the ivy covered wall:

And it was only a short jump to the idea of the Groot covered wall:

Disneyandmore posted the (edit: POSSIBLE) concept art from the building....uuuuugggghhhhh So they're keeping the Xandar theme we thought, but made the building nearly as hideous as the one in Disneyland (which isn't Xandar themed at all)

Unless I misunderstood, this is not confirmed as concept art.

(Slightly off-topic, but I think the Guardians building at Disneyland is really impressive when viewed firsthand.)

The headline for that article on their site ends in a question mark. I wouldn't take this as gospel just yet. But who knows?

 

[MisterPenguin]

It's been bandied about that there might be a facade, or, still just a box painted in some go-away color. This is from insiders.

The "article" linked above is just pure speculation.
