News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[larryz]

Some of us are complaining about it needing to be a box at all.

Some of us are complaining about all the complaining about the box, the paint scheme, the inclusion of GotG in Epcot, and expectations that today's TDO must abide by some unwritten code or mandate from the 1970's.

One thing is for sure: on a "fan site", someone will ALWAYS be complaining.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose...

Florida...high water table...it would be underwater... and in person that building is massive...kind of crazy massive.

Building sub-grade is possible in Florida. The very park in question has basements. Many attractions have basements.

To be fair, we were complaining about the roof drainage.

I thought Epcot's Utilidors were built above like MK's?

Mostly. If I recall their bottom is below grade.

The basements of Land, Energy, Horizons and Imag were all below grade.

Right? I mean clearly a circle or oval structure would have been better!

They’re below grade. And many other attractions have facilities below grade. Go look in the Space Restaurant thread at the aerial photos and you can see one of the large pits that go down to the mechanical rooms for the Mission: SPACE centrifuges.

I mean a dome would fit (I don't mean physically, thematically), it would just be next to (and bigger than) the Wonders of Life dome

Possibly. But wouldn't a dome be even bigger than the box.

 

[GlacierGlacier]

My hypothetical berm wouldn't need to block all of the structure, just half of it.
Paint the upper half camo and do some planting in front of it and at least the outline would be broken up significantly.

Everyone knows of the famously tall forests of Central Florida, with their trees soaring nearly 200ft in height. It wouldn't have looked out of place at all.

Keeping the same rollercoaster layout? Almost inevitably yes

 

[Winter]

Not everyone.

Most people.

It's close enough lol

I see it...

I wish they hadn’t added the copyright notices. You’d think that with a nice graphic like that, they wouldn’t want those copyright notices distracting from the elegant message about complaining. I guess protecting their “IP” and the almighty dollar are all they care about, gah! Totally unmagical!!!

It looks like a screengrab from Amazon, they overlay that copyright message on preview pages.

I'm confused.....

I'm confused.....

About what?

 

[Bocabear]

you can be below grade and be ok, but the suggestion was to sink half of the Gravity building underground which would be about 4-5 stories underground...
