The coaster to dark ride ratio begs to differ with that assessment.

Yeah, this appears to be much more of a coaster then Gringotts.

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. MB is almost entirely screen/projection based.

It is pretty simple.
A lot of things can be done with the Black Box idea. With a rollercoaster its actually perfect because it can surround you. They could even do rethemings very easily for the holidays.

You have A MASSIVE amount of faith in twdc. Theres no example of a similar idea EVER having alot going on. Space mountain...vuage grainy projections you cant even see. Rock n roller coaster has cutouts that belong at a six flags. The backwards portion of EE literally has nothing. Tron has a few small projection like screens but mostly nothing as well.

This seems like a souped up Space Mountain to me... with GotG characters thrown in.

1. Mission Breakout isn't a black box. It's flat screens with very limited physical sets. There's not much going on beyond the characters on the screens.
2. The "black box" concept might happen, but if so, it will be precisely because it allows attractions to be turned over at minimal cost - precisely because there isn't a lot of "eye candy" - just CGI.
3. What people are concerned about here is not that Disney can't put screens in a box, it's that those screens don't substitute for a fully realized environment. It's a good point that given Disney's recent track record, they aren't filling a building this large with detail.

^^^What are you thinking it will be? Maybe I’ve missed something.

firzgerald was on stage talking about guardians (and the whole Epcot project) in 2017. If it was a marvel project why wasn’t Rhodes the one presenting it?

Because that’s not really a key part of creative development and it’s the biggest new thing coming to the “new” Epcot.

Because we can refer to nearly any ride as a souped up version of another ride with the respective characters thrown in.
It's dismissive.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of it that way. Thanks for the clarification.
My opinion is that Gringotts is an awesome attraction, because of the seamless "amazing" theming that starts from the minute you see the building and then ends when you get off the coaster. However if evaluated in a vacuum the ride itself is good, but not amazing. This is a case of the whole attraction being better than the individual parts. I want to reiterate I think Gringotts is amazing. Was just trying to relay some thoughts about the actual ride itself. My point is I don't think GOG needs to copy Gringotts. They need to put out a great attraction though and I honestly don't mind if there is an abundance of screens on a rollercoaster. Cant wait to see the finished product!
Any chance this could be completed by EOY 2020?

Bruh they threw Rhode in front of all the PR for the Guardians overlay of Tower of Terror but not have him pull the curtains back for Disney's first built from-the-ground up Marvel e-ticket for Walt Disney World??

First and only most likely. I don’t think they’ll make an E Ticket for any of the other random heroes they could possibly have rights to.

There is no divine rule that whoever is presenting an attraction has to be a certain position working on it. Mission: Breakout! was not being built as the same time as a large park wide project.
