News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[Timothy_Q]

Containing Marvel at DHS really would've been the best scenario.

As DHS was always the "other properties" park with Twilight Zone, Wizard of Oz, Indy, SW, etc

I have a feeling that'd land you on many "lists" in Disney and the state of Florida...

Have you ever been around before the marathon starts in January? A lot of people use the Groot themed bathrooms around
Epcot.

I agree, I would replace Rock'n'Roller coaster with an Awesome Mix GOTG ride, and replace Twilight Zone with a Dr. Strange themed tower (ONLY if Disney is adamant about getting rid of the CBS contract)

I'm still annoyed many DL fans think it's just so cute Rocket points out DL. Doesn't that really say it all? Many guests think it's the best ever to have these kind of references. I think it's cringe inducing. I'm kind of sad they waste IPs I like on replacements or short-sighted decisions.

There's that pesky Universal/Marvel contract to contend with on the latter as well...

I'm very conflicted on RnRC. I love Aerosmith. I know their inclusion can't last forever. But GotG in their place doesn't seem right either.

I'm still bracing for a CARS or Incredibles overlay to RnRc. And I have nothing to base that on. Just a gut hunch. CARS would be very easy to do. And now everytime I walk under the RnRc archway all I can picture is the Incredicoaster entrance at Pixar Pier. Sigh. But I don't think Aerosmith is irreplaceable but I also don't think they see it as a priorty. It shouldn't be, but an overlay would be an "easy" way to get a new attraction in. We are approaching 20 years of Aerosmith. It seems 20-30 years is a timetable for replacement now.

I know how bathrooms can get during 5k's so I can't blame those people one bit. I can only imagine how bad they are during a Disney-sized marathon.

Well, I'm glad somebody finally brought up the topic of whether this IP is a good fit for Epcot.

Something I noticed on the gravity building. It looks like the part the launch tunnel connects to doesn’t have the tighter framing for exterior panels that the rest of the building did. Maybe they just haven’t done it yet, or perhaps they are doing something other than blue on that section?

We have many more years to go, too conversations typically repeat themselves in these big threads

I guess we could rehash how ugly and big the showbuilding is.

Will the gondolas have AC? Will the gondola be a death trap

I look forward to the January 2020 discussion of whether go-away blue is working.

The ladder is still dead.

They actually put a foundation down for the construction wall? That seems a bit excessive and money not well spent.

What about the January 2019 discussion about that? Or the February one? I could go on, but I think we’ve already had our scheduled complaining time for this month...

What a hideous building and a slap in the face to those men and women that worked so hard to make EPCOT Center a reality.

They probably won't take it as hard as they did when Disney laid off a large portion of the imagineers after Epcot / TKDL was done.

To be fair, it was standard practice.

No, the construction wall is actually placed on top of existing concrete. This is the exit path from UoE.

I'm pretty sure the wall is sitting on the curb.

I thought that, but it has been so long since I was back there. 2016 that I forgot (RIP UoE)

Disney bought the wrong IP. Scale is spot on, though.

Disney would never just put a bunch of pipes on the facade of a building and pass it off as a spaceship!

Any idea what the holes are at the top of the panel? Also the seams seem to be bigger on that same side?

Drainage for rain water. The roof slopes down on both sides so that the water can drain out of the holes.
