I mean, you do you man. Nothing wrong with having high expectations. But we've now only just seen 1 photo of actual track. When we get a good look farther down the road and it unimpresses, I'll be right there with you

Yeah you’re right. I suppose I’m slightly annoyed by the classic over-optimists, but the appropriate response isn’t to be overly pessimistic

I guess I'm usually optimistic about things in general. Last time I did UoE was 2015, And at that time I hadn't been back to WDW since 2001. My nostalgia glasses for UoE were coke-bottle thick, and I'm glad I rode it one last time. Sure I'd be happy if they restored/revamped/upgraded it, but I'm also a person who doesn't cling too closely to things in the past, and that's just in general, not necessarily about WDW. Full disclosure I am a big fan of GotG franchise, so it does have me excited, but I would be very dissapointed if it were a very short experience like Tron seems to be

Have you been since it went up? Coming from that side of the parking lot outside the park by way of courtesy tram, it feels as though you're being driven past the NASA vehicle assembly building. In person, it is truly a massive building. Up until they started tearing up the middle of Future World, it was pretty well hidden from a lot of areas within that area. Can't say what that looks like today but I'd have to imagine they are at least trying to rebuild with sight-lines in mind.

That said, it's incredibly obvious from the promenade of World Showcase. Way more than Soarin'. It's nowhere near as bad as images like this would suggest but unless you're legally blind, it'll be hard not to notice if you take a gander back towards Future World while across that pond.

Whether or not that ruins your experience is a different discussion but, yes, it's definitely noticeable.

Color me hopeful then. Will know soon.

My past experience of looking over from the showcase has been I don't notice the various buildings that everyone gets wound up about. The event tents over behind UK, some of the others other parks. I just don't see them and think "ruined view". I've never been bothered by stuff I see from outside the parks (not saying you are), I tend to be amazed at how stuff is hidden or camouflaged from INSIDE. Its like Everest. You drive by, run by, and there's this huge building sitting there. You run around to the other side and "so that's the building I saw from the parking lot?" Sometimes its kind of hard to believe.

If I get there and it bothers me I'll say so, no problem with that.

I wonder if this ride will be easily rethemable if/when in 10 years, Guardians doesn't have the same pull that it does now. And I mean, I'd argue the hype now is nowhere near where it was when Vol 2 came out, which was like...2017? Three years ago.

I doubt it will be easy to retheme (or that they have any plans to ever do so).

I agree with the point about relevance, though -- I think the two Guardians movies are close to the apex of the MCU and I still don't think anyone is going to care about them 15 years from now. It'll depend on how much the ride relies on the movies, though. If it's a fun ride that doesn't rely heavily on knowledge of the movies themselves, it won't matter if the IP has lost relevance (see rides like Splash Mountain and Flight of Passage).
