News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[Dragonman]

Ellen’s skin and clothes are still in a private collection. Confirmed as of like a week ago lol. As far as the Elas, I heard it was just tossed completely

It was actually confirmed by several people when they appeared on her show

It’s been passed around since then. Someone else has it now

As if the twitterverse is any accurate reflection of public sentiment...

Where is Twitter involved? This is Google Trends. And while no one source tells the full story, it’s certainly a more representative picture than any of us biased folks (including the Bobs) paint for ourselves. It’s much easier to get tricked into believing GotG is far more relevant / popular / whatever when that’s the product you’re surrounding yourself with.

I know on the show they claimed this was the actual animatronic. I know the AA was bad, but it's certainly not this bad.

You can see the Contemporary from the Magic Kingdom because they designed it to be seen as part of Tomorrowland. That’s not a sightline issue, it was literally planned.

That was the intention. Unfortunately, it is still very visible from parts of Adventureland and Liberty Square, even when TL isn’t visible in the foreground.

It’s only a mannequin with the original clothing and a VERY worn out mask. The “actual animatronic” claim was part of the joke.

I believe a lot of the visibility might be due to the temporal removal of the "Tree Fence" (Dont know what else to call it) that blocks a lot of things outside of the park for Tron construction.

It has more to do with the deforestation of the MK Hub . . . but now I fear we've gone off topic.

With Rise now open and getting the crowds/popularity it is, Pandora still being very popular, and MK being MK and getting tron, I think there is a lot riding on this ride(pun intended) to be a huge draw for Epcot when put next to these other mega E ticket draws that are pulling people to the other parks.

I could see Epcot slipping to least attended of the 4(still high overall honestly) in some scenarios.

Its almost guaranteed to be 4th in 2020...I don't think anybody is considering the possibility of it holding 3rd against RotR and MRR.

Unless they create a F&W Happy Hour...

The festivals are really the only thing propping it up, right now and keeping it above Uni...You are looking at a park that was light on attractions in its golden age. Right now, over half of FW is a construction yard and Frozen is the anchor of WS. If the locals didn't turn out for F&W, current Epcot would sit on the bottom quarter of the Top 10 attendance list.

DHS just may surpass Epcot this year since Forever Epcot hasn't been the big draw that one would expect from a new fireworks show (and the debate over its quality is for another thread).

And even with Ratatouille coming in the Summer, DHS has MMRR in the Spring.

EPCOT needs HarmoniUS to be really, really good and get it up an running ASAP if the brass doesn't want their premier park to be overshadowed by one half its size.

I am impressed, at least from afar, with RoTR. The attention to detail in that ride is over the top and seems better than any ride I have seen so far. If and that is a very strong "if" Disney puts the same attention to detail into GoTG and provides that same edutainment and original theme/idea (EC 82) that Epcot was built on, we may all be surprised by what is in store for this ride. I am going to bring back some of my own hope and give Disney the benefit of the doubt. I'll wait till 20201 to pass judgement.

I wouldn't expect the same level of edutainment, I'm expecting a nod at it.
What I am expecting though is a very well done experience.
Many people dismiss GotD as just a coaster.
Judging by the amount of queue and taking in some of what we see was done on RotR, this will be a very well done ride.

Thing is DHS maybe smaller then Epcot ,but really it is close to the same size as MK ,it is just that MK has more to do.But DHS will have more to do then Epcot comming up soon.

I wonder how much pre shows this would have,I also hope the queue is very detailed.

Agree 100%

A lot.
The whole front building is pre show and queu.
The ride portion of the coaster takes place in the giant blue box.
