EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[Captain Barbossa]

Coming next year, we will be replacing FastPass+ with Disney ShopPass®. Guests will no longer have to book experiences in advance. Instead, guests will be required to spend a certain amount of money in our gift shops before they are allowed into an attraction. For our E ticket attractions, guests must spend at least $1000, D tickets will be $500, C tickets will be $250, B tickets will be $100, and A tickets will be $50.

This is on a PER ATTRACTION BASIS. Once guests complete their attraction experience, they MUST return to a gift shop and make a purchase that gives them access to the attraction they wish to experience next.

In Disneyland, we are being generous and allowing all guests to experience Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind® free of charge.

I feel like we don’t say this enough, but you sir, @realBobChapek, are a genius. Though I will admit that $1,000 for an E ticket seems a bit on the low side.....

Gotta love a CEO with a sense of humor and dollar signs for eyeballs!

I don't think that's a sense of humor.....

Didn't say he has a good sense of humor..........

Fastpass disappearing altogether would be pretty shocking. I’ve been expecting them to start explicitly charging for it like every other amusement/theme park in the country. To go the opposite direction would be pretty bold for today’s Disney.

Eventually, it would also make the lack of capacity much more apparent.

Too bad they spent billions on trying to hide their lack of capacity instead of just adding capacity.

Do we know what the launch speed will be for this?

I'm half excited, half scared of this attraction. Because I get motion sickness there is a slight chance I might barf during it.

Thankfully that backwards launch is there for you just incase you need to let it out.

Alright... Hopefully it will just go on the vehicles and not some random kid or granny.

Hopefully not. If so, the ride does involve time travel so I think the situation can still possibly be remedied.

Does anyone have a better idea on the story treatment for this attraction? There are countless ways this could go.

From the EPCOT Experience it seems like they’ll try to parody what Future World pavilions used to be about. Personally, that turned me off.

I wouldn't say parody. I'd say homage with a... detour.

That makes it sound like it's gonna be another Enchanted Tiki Room Under New Management.

Are you referring to strictly the Guardians pavilion and its story treatment or all the pavilions moving forward?

That could work really well or be terrible. I'm cautiously optimistic. Most recent Disney projects have been executed well even if the base concept was flawed or the budgets were slashed.

Can you elaborate? There's a ton of different options they could take including "love letter to classic Epcot", "pseudo science" and a number of other options.
