News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

At Epcot this morning and took these in the Guardians queue building -- any idea what those shapes are? Assuming it's way way way early days for actual stuff to be going in there, but I guess you never knowwwwwwwwwwww....!

Two words and down the googler machine rabbit hole I go. Awesome info for those of us not as in tune with the industy, thanks.
E-DA is a park in Taiwan. In the mid-00s they wanted their own version of Soarin’ Over California and hired Brogent (for what reasons I do not know, as they weren’t into ride systems at the time) to create something that would get around Disney’s ride system. The result was the i-Ride which debuted with the opening of Fly Over Taiwan in 2010. Instead of three large carriages that lift three rows in front of the screen, the i-Ride has each row load on its respective level and then moves out toward the screen. Since the benches are not attached to a larger carriage, they have 6 degrees of freedom. When building plans for Avatar leaked, many (including myself) thought Flight of Passage would be utilizing the i-Ride system due to how similar the two looked in plan. A smaller variant of the i-Ride, the m-Ride, will finally come to Central Florida later this year when The LEGO Movie Masters of Flight opens as part of the new LEGO Movie World.

To kind of keep this on topic, people should check out Voletarium at Europa-Park. A double flying theater that was not just dropped into a box.

Just a dirt and equipment I imagine. The underground piping should be going in around this time I think.

Maybe Rocket steals some Imperial technology...?

And yet these idiots can spend $300 million on a Tron clone and around $1 billion on Star Wars land which only features two rides? Ugh Disney kills me.

The flagship resort deserves this tech.

I would swing the first hammer to knock down wdw’s Pirates to replace it with Shanghai’s.

My wife was smart. Didn’t look up anything about it before she rode. She came off it crying.

People are already calling it the GoTG queue building. Poor UoE. Yep, I am still on the sad phase of the healing process. I got 2 more years before I get to acceptance.

People in Disneyland also like the technology of Mission Breakout. A little off topic but I'm very interested in the opening of Galaxy's Edge because, as of now, Guardians of the Galaxy may be the most technologically advanced ride they've ever had. And in six months, they're getting something ABOVE Flight of Passage in level of technology. Disneylanders heads are probably gonna be spinning from... tech shock? I'm sure they'll be ecstatic though.

M:BO is the most technologically advanced ride at Disneyland? Really?

The queue for that movie based ride is pretty impressive. also saw a video of Blue fire megacoaster in Europa park and made me wish the begining portion of the incredicoaster had been enclosed. The coaster IN DCA would have been greatly improved if they had an indoor first scene that used real props and digital projections to begin the simple story of jack jack escaping. Instead of the out of place scene of a VIp waiting area/living room being placed near a coaster in an amusement park, they could have enhanced the area by adding rockwork and created a cave.
