News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[ChrisFL]

And I'm sure that once Marvel land is complete at DCA, the whole ugly and out of place aspect of how it stands now will disappear.

Disagree...unless they add a bunch of other tall buildings around it. The problem is that it's visible from other areas of the park where it really sticks out badly.

Who knows what they'll do with Bugs Land. Maybe they'll add a hanging spinner-type ride. Or maybe bring back maliboomer rethemed to Iron Man? lol

Seriously, I miss maliboomer.

I'm gonna try and prevent this thread from getting OT any more. @marni1971, do you have any idea when we will start seeing enclosure of the gravity building? Or perhaps work on the front of the old building?

I'm no Martin, but I would imagine before the end of the year. Front of Energy? I have no clue, it looks like it's in pretty terrible condition and is gonna need a lot of TLC

I don’t have a work schedule I’m afraid.

I don’t have a work schedule I’m afraid.

Why would you be afraid of a work schedule?

Ah, that's a shame. Oh well, thanks anyways!

For Energy, it seems most of the dirty work is done. They've just finished digging up the foundation for the building, and there's literally nothing left for them to demolish. I would think they will start rebuilding soon

I think they're probably not gonna focus on the exterior until dead last tho

The demo'd the floor slab to run the underground conduits for various electrical and plumbing requirements. If load/unload is in the UoE building, the coaster supports would also need their footings formed, poured and cured. There is plenty to do inside UoE before they being "rebuilding" the facade. (If in fact that is what you meant by "rebuilding", if not disregard).

I was just curious, how long do you guys think it'll be until we'll get more official details on the attraction? Whether it's just one piece of concept art or a small blurb of text that gives us *any* idea about what the story of it might be based around, I've been really curious since they showed Peter at Epcot, and if that will actually play a part into the backstory (the ride being meta and actually taking place in Epcot VS being set on Xandar, for example)

Well we do have a D23 next year and they like to drag out showing off things. I don't know how much more they can show (I guess there's a couple of things). Maybe give a name for the attraction? We also randomly get blog posts with some of this stuff so who knows with them? They don't ever act like they know what they're doing, personally LOL

 

[RSoxNo1]

Pretty much every shortcoming that’s been discussed here has also been mentioned from within.

The problem is mentioning it before they act on those. We see it as soon as we're presented with the information, who's the common sense person internally to stop stupid stuff from happening?

Yeah, I was talking more about them starting work inside the building rather than the front.

The exact same problem that existed with DCA's tower of terror...

Not really. Hollywood Tower was/is an asset to the park. As is the Chinese Theatre.

Sorry I ment DCA's Tower. I have nothing but raging admiration for our tower!

Latest Epcot Guardians of the Galaxy aerial pictures https://www.wdwmagic.com/attraction...onstruction-aerial-views---september-2018.htm

When I first saw the photos of the location, I did not think it was going to be so big. (I know largest indoor coaster....)
When you see these photos is amazes me at how much bigger it is in comparison to just about everything else in the
park.

So was I.

EDIT: Sorry I see I said facade. Either way the interior floor slab must be poured and cured before they could do much work inside as far as putting up interior partitions, lighting, etc.

I would imagine curing concrete in the Florida humidity takes quite a while, too.

TOT's exterior wasn't a problem before because it was at least an example of Californian Architecture in a (supposedly) California-themed Landscape. Unlike Mission: Breakout, which is an example of Spacejunk in a (supposedly) California-themed Landscape (which seems to be inching towards its inevitable erosion by the day).
