EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

70s music with a bit of 60s thrown in. I don't think there's been a single song from the 80s on either GotG soundtrack.

Oops. My bad. Just checked and the latest is '79 (the god-awful Piña Colada song)

I know dual load is a lot better for capacity sake, but I am really excited to see what the station actually looks like for this. Dual load stations obviously have to be substantially bigger than single load to it'll be interesting to see what approach is taken. The exception to this rule is BTM but no way they're going to do that.

The Tron load station is super cool: View attachment 511100

I also wonder what approach will be taken for getting people to the load. Elevator preshow, stairs, ramps, etc. There are elevation changes in this concept, so that's interesting.

Tron load reminds me of Space Mountain's load / unload in Disneyland.

No, how poorly it fits the park that doesn't exist anymore and hasn't for a long time.

Longer than a month?

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but apparently the monorail spiel mentions that this will explore the Big Bang as mentioned by many insiders.

Despite the IP inclusion, I think it’s cool that the Big Bang, which was to be the focus of the proposed/cancelled Universe of Energy replacement a while back, will still happen.

Good ideas never die at Disney, I suppose.

This has piqued my interest. Anyone mind filling me in?

The Ding Dang?

It was long rumored that a third (technically fourth I guess) iteration of the Universe of Energy show was proposed and shot down for the spinny space coaster. New films and an overhaul to the tech is I believe all that insiders ever said on here.

Xandarians heard that Epcot was a showcase of technology, they show up to show off their galaxarium featuring the creation of the universe.

GotG show up and high jinks ensue, save the universe, yada yada.

Backward launch (oops! probably means going back in time to the Big Bang).

End up in the gravity building which has lots of loops so that your vehicle can turn to face the feature in the loop.

80's 70's Rock 'n Roll.

The end.

No gift shop?

Actually, according to insiders, no!

They're saving that for Spaceship Earth...

I don't want to pretend to know Pratt's scheduele business, but Jurassic World Dominion just finished filming, so that would free up filming content media for the attraction or accelerate what little is already done.(if any)

I have no idea if this is true, but I think they're waiting till they're filming Guardians 3, and then they'll film whatever they need for the ride? I'm no insider at all, but this makes the most sense. They should start filming the new movie by sometime in the next 2 years, so we shall see?

While filming scenes for the ride at the same time at a GotG film is in production is convenient, it is not necessary.

Each actor's scene is filmed individually in front of a green/blue screen. So, Disney can arrange for one day for the actor to come in, get in make-up and read off half a dozen lines. For Rocket and Groot, the actors only need to head to nearby sound studio.

You mean that's *not* Vin Diesel in a tree suit in front of a green screen??

This is a lie.

Of course they need Rocket Raccoon on set; how else would you film him? You can't just make a CGI raccoon. You have to film him live.

Next you're going to try to tell me that Tom Hanks didn't film scenes with Lyndon Johnson and John Lennon for Forrest Gump.

The first one is clearly Photoshopped. Doesn't even look like a raccoon.
