EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

Location.

If you’re talking about the attraction in general, then I wholly agree. I thought you were talking about that part of track.

Sort of like how IJA has to pause to let the rat mist screen become flat again after the last Jeep disrupts it.

Hey, it IS like IJA!

What is IJA?

That really is very cool. It definitely shows you how little I know about roller coaster construction. The first thing that ran through
my mind when I saw the picture was, why start there? Still very cool to see.

I assume because of the tight tolerances on that area of the building. Little room to move things around to get everything to align, and if other area are off slightly then it'll be a mess to fix.

Probably started there because there is additional construction that has to happen to close that section in once the track is installed.

I'm spitballing here, and it's probably already been discussed elsewhere, but I'm guessing that the roof/walls were constructed first due to all the integrated electronics/technologies built into the track/ride that needed shielding from the weather. This ain't space mountain after all.

I think @twilight mitsuk meant simply that SM was built structure-first and that RNRC was track-first. But, ha, indeed we have been assured: no cardboard!

That’s what I ment

Anything that sensitive would be installed after the track had been installed.

Sequencing is typically the domain of the general contractor. Building the shell first doesn’t have to be for any specific, overly interesting reason. The biggest factor is usually cost.

You can't even do the rough electric work (running conduit, putting up boxes, etc) until the building is weather tight, because all the inside electrical materials don't carry a weather rating.

Don't tell that to the super of the last job site I visited.

How rnrc was built in the first place

Literally. Its an off-the-shelf coaster they put in a box and added cutouts
