News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[ppete1975]

Gotcha.

I understand. I just thought the structure/s would look out of place from a aesthetic point of view.

No more than a glass pyramid or a silver giant golf ball. That was I loved about Epcot is the architecture, every building was super unique and different. Not a big blue box. Whats funny is I can see them building a building like that at one time, at this point I don't see them ever going to this extreme. If the ride was built today it would be very boring on the outside.

It's ironic how the most interesting piece of architecture they're building isn't an attraction but a literal bar on legs. I love the design and how unique it is but I hate the use. At least the UoE building is hanging around.

Honestly could be worse. On a different note, the interesting architecture furthers my amazement that Tron is going to MK and Guardians in Epcot.

It probably would, but it would at least be a lot more interesting than a big green box.

Was TOT really thought to not be "fun" enough on it's own that it needed sprucing up with movie characters and one-liners?

It was fun while it stood infused with the Twilight zone IP.... But it's more fun now.

It certainly wasn't timeless.

I can name dozens of coasters more fun than Space Mountain. That doesn't mean replacing SM with one would be a good choice for Disney. Mission BO is a chaotic mess that believes being big and loud is a substitute for story and entertainment. It is the theme park equivalent of Mad TV.

I wouldn't exactly call GOTG timeless either.

Nope, definitely not timeless.

Ahhh, Screw it, bring back superstar limo.

lol. No. Superstar Limo was hot garbage and suffered the fate it deserved.

And for the record, differing opinions are always welcome. No hate here

Looks cool. Can't help think that for those who have a problem with the GOG building being an eye sore that this design would be even more of an eye sore. That thing is massive and stands out from a design aspect.

I must be missing the bog standard warehouse in the art.

I’m sure many will find it amazing.

If I'm reading this right, I think that this means that it will really be quite impressive but not at all true to the spirit of Epcot Center. Those of us who would/will enjoy it will also feel the loss of what preceded it.

I expect to enjoy it as I hope that it will be an inspired attraction. I don't mind the big box if the ride is worth it.

And I hope that losing UoE does not mean that we lose SSE or LwtL. To me, we usually bypassed UoE because of the time it consumed. While it was a fine show (especially the 6min through the dinosaurs), it took away from the time we had to see everything else at Epcot. Even still, we rarely have time for the American Adventure of Impressions de France and I can't remember the last time we saw the movie in China. Truly, there is still a lot there in Epcot. Hopefully it will just get better...and it doesn't lose its core identity further.

Is that really what that floating forrest thing in the middle of EPCOT is, a bar?

 

[BrianLo]

It has plenty to look at, but it feels very cheaply applied and lacking any design and thought. It feels like a mid-level escape room with hastily painted sets.

To be honest, I was mostly talking about the Rocket pre-show.

Outside the stretching room and Star Tours, that’s as cool as a DLR queue gets.

Justified or not, I can tell most posters bristle at having to say anything complimentary. But the Rocket pre-show is really impressive.

As much as World Showcase is.

 

[trainplane3]

As much as World Showcase is.

Except smaller. And with stairs and elevators.

Think about our previous festival center (Wonders of life). Now put it in the air. And smaller (?).

But... higher!

It’s also going to have those newfangled moving stairs like at the R. H. Macy’s in New York City.

 

[Coaster Lover]

But... higher!

Hmmm... not sure how great an idea raising the inebriated 30 ft in the air is...

It's Darwinian.

Hard to judge this early on. Many don't feel like it will be, but the comics have been out for 50 years and the movie is 5 years old has has spun 2 sequels. The movie will be 7 when the ride based on it comes out. For reference:
