My plywood solar panels on my roof at home generate so much electricity that my kids have been able to sell the excess at a little solar energy stand out front by the road. The lemonade did not move as much.

With the ribs fully obscured like that it really does look like one massive wedge of metal with some plywood on the roof.

Another nail in the solar panel coffin

Looks like blocking. It’d be a lot easier to screw into a piece of plywood wherever you need to than try to line every panel up with the corrugated metal deck.

I think that the question of if GOTG:CR actually does lead the rest of the entertainment world into the future, is:

Will the GOTG:CR experience communicate a concept that:

1) is not well known at all
2) that is a key takeaway for everyone (eventually (through other's clueing in those who don't catch it (see it, understand it, etc. right away))) that experience the entire GOTG:CR experience
3) something that will become a prevailing very widely accepted and celebrated much improved perspective by everyone about everyone on Earth
4) that will change everyone's decision making
3) that will result in the eventual creation of a much, much, much better life for everyone in the entire world

that's all

WAIT...

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DISCUSSION?

I wonder if they got the plywood from one of America's favorite home renovation stores?

I really can't speculate any further than that, or this thread will take a sad dive

The plywood is probably there to protect the solar panels from damage while others are being craned in above them.

No panels have been installed. The plywood is on corrugated metal decking.

I wonder if the preshow and queue really needs the ENTIRE UOE building. The building was mammoth in size already, but now it’s just going to be a line?

A cosmic line!

It's also the launch and return.

And it needs to hold 2 hours worth of standby... at least.

Solar panels are gone and won't be back as far as I know.

Considering the amount of space dedicated to it, the queue is not nearly as long as it should be imo. Roughly a Rise length queue. Also, there are actual show scenes in the energy building. They won't knock your socks off, but they are there. Finally, don't forget the pretty large load/unload area. That said, there will still be dead space in the building.

I was always under the impression that we were getting the panels back. Then again, the last time I heard something explicitly abut the panels was early 2019, so I'm not sure how that may have developed.

From lack of cabling, power boxes, etc on the roof, during the support and bracket installation I had a feeling we were only going to get fake panels. I was hopeful for something functional though.

But another note...brown? Seriously, brown ribs? You could do any color and it'd look better. But brown? Did WDI think they were doing rock work again?

Are we certain it's not an undercoat or primer? I thought it was supposed to be copper. Maybe they're not done?

Maybe, it just looks brown to me.
