News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[1990sWDW]

There is not a social media account I check more than Bio. Early Galaxy's Edge construction photos led me to ThemeParx.com which led me to @bioreconstruct and then one way or another to this site to discuss.

I love the flashback construction photos Bio posts as well.

The @MickeyViews photos, showing the tiered green sections to be as tall as the tunnel, do seem to suggest this is the final plan.

Not sure he knows what he missed, my assumption is that he never saw what a cohesive Epcot looked liked.

To be fair, many haven't. Many had a fondness for the Sorceror Mickey Hat down Hollywood Boulevard because that's what they grew up with. There's definitely a divide amongst fans on certain things but we have to remember that Disney and the parks mean different things to everyone.

Are these old photos? Where did the GotG gravity building go?

@bioreconstruct posted this mock up... I wonder if this is more or less it? I figured they would at least theme the corner that's seen between WoL and UoE where the tunnel connects

If you theme just a corner of it, then the effect is ruined from all other angles. You either attempt to camoflauge the whole thing, or none of it.

That’s kind of what I was getting at, seems to be a consistent theme with people who seem to think frozenstrum and GotG are both good ideas.

To be fair, I’m 51, first started visiting WDW in 1991 ... and I think Frozenstrom is a huge improvement over its predecessor and that Ellen’s iteration of UoE was a total snore fest.

Not everyone looking forward to GotG, the Rat ride, and even Tron is a millennial.

To get back on topic:

I hope that the exterior structer remains, I love the design of it.

Nope... none. None whatsoever.

Just majestic

No Mr, its a new picture if you focus really really hard you might be able to see the gravity building, if you dont see it dont fell bad about it almost 97% of the people cant see it! LOL hahaha

I appreciate these mockups, but it would be even better if we saw mockups of views from the ground. It’s easy to mark this sky blue solution when the angle of the aerial photos puts more ground and trees behind the building.

Your probably the exception not the rule but I digress...

Ehh probably not. Unless you’re limiting it to people here. Then, probably 50/50.

Respectively agree to disagree.

This piece of steel that's sticking up at an angle though????

I’m about 10 minutes outside of AC, know plenty of local iron workers. Cool pic, but I imagine this has to violate an NDA?

I’m guessing this is another potential attachment point for the facade or theming?

I think they chose the best route to go here if that mock up really is the true final plan. Would have been a lot worse if it were garish or highly themed. This way it at least turns a lousy decision into a better situation of at least attempting to not draw any more attention to it than need be, it can't be missed anyway no matter what I know, but at least no dca eyesore type mess.

Epcot (Center) is composed of simple shapes with interesting surface treatments. I don't know why this design scheme couldn't be carried over to the giant box as well. Hoping something more is coming.
