News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

I'm not familiar with this expression, but you better believe it's now joining my vocabulary.

It sounds more civilized than 'The backstory is a bunch of crap'. lol.

It makes sense, as in something that's not absolutely necessary, but things are better if you have them.

In England, doesn't "pants" refer to "underwear"? So, I'm guessing its not exactly a pleasant expression.

 

[rle4lunch]

Yeah... that’d give too many surprises away. I have to say the ride part in the 1982 building is the most interesting for me. Not that I condone what they’ve done to Energy mind.

I'm actually envisioning those round escape pod spaceships from the first movie for the ride vehicles....

Pants...

I have to wonder what will happen to this attraction if Guardians 3 is shelved or put on the back burner due to recent events. Would they still be able to get the actors together to shoot what is needed for the ride?

Apologies to @marni1971 for overthinking it! Wishful thinking gets the better of me and always wondering if there's a dual meaning I'm not catching

I'm guessing it's all in their contracts by now. I'm also guessing it would take some sort of litigation process for them to be released from it.

A little something I drew up to give you guys an even better idea of the layout.

I can neither confirm nor deny that is a hidden Mickey... or 3 meatballs.

Why wouldn't they want to reprise their roles in the ride? I'm pretty sure they want a paycheck.

Dave Bautista is threatening to pull out of the third movie.

Damn. Now I'm hungry again.

ETA: Is that the $45 special at Tony's Town Square?

When they built Gringotts they enclosed the building before installing track. This is nothing that hasn't been done before.

Seemingly everone misread my post.

My concern is not that the track is harder to install but rather the ride will be less intense and unlikely to contain inversions if they can assemble it inside an enclosed building.

For the sake of our bowels, I sure hope not.

I don't think you need to worry, this...

Was installed inside a completely enclosed building, and it has more inversions than RnRc.

Also I believe @marni1971 confirmed there will be no inversions.

Revenge of the Mummy was installed in an already enclosed building, seeing as it replaced Kong. It's not the most intense of rides, but it's still pretty thrilling.

I'm not expecting the ride to be extremely thrilling or have inversions as we've been told it won't have any. But I do think the coaster will have a fair amount of zip to the coaster and be a pretty thrilling experience all-in-all.

Duel Platforms... I assume you're not pointing that out simply because they'll have a dual platform for capacity purposes (a.l.a. Tron or Thunder Mountain)... would I be on the right train of thought if there might be two radically different experiences depending on which platform you load? Possibly a more "mild" version of the attraction (less spin/movement of the car) and a more intense version? Or possibly two different storylines?

Just realised auto correct got the better of me

We now pronounce it "tariff."

Alooominum.

To be fair, the British version of that word sounds like you're adding way too many syllables.. lol
