EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[Haymarket2008]

Zach Riddley just announced Rocket & Groot to be apart of the fab 50th character collection and in his announcement on Instagram he stated the following:

“We are deep in the final stages of preparing our first other World Showcase pavilion at EPCOT with our Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Attraction!”

Say what you will about this attraction, but this is extremely exciting news. Looking forward to checking it out when it opens.

EPCOT’s 40th seems like a good guess.

EDIT: This could mean nothing but it’s still exciting.

I would be shocked if this isn't open by Summer 2022.

Huh?

Is this what he said or did you just mistype?

That's a really confusing way to describe it. I guess he's trying to say that it's a World Showcase pavilion for another planet? But it's not in the World Showcase and it's fictional.

It's an "other world" as in Sci-Fi descriptions of other planets and civilizations.

I wish Zach (or his writer) would just be straight forward instead of trying to be clever.

"other-world pavilion" is how it has been described since Walt Disney Imagineering opened up The EPCOT Experience, if not longer

Right, I understood that. I'm saying it's a strange way to describe it because it's not physically located in the World Showcase nor is it really a World Showcase pavilion in any real sense. Even if it's supposed to be a Xanadarian outreach center or whatever, it still skews closer to an old Future World pavilion than a World Showcase one.

Just drop the word Showcase and it works better, at least to me.

I feel some new lighting will be going in here soon:

That’s a quote of what he said. At least the parts that are in quotes.

I’d just like to point out how ironic it is that the Energy pavilion once again will end up fully finished with show install, but lack the media required to open the new show. It’s like Summer 1996 all over again, except there’s no way to bring back the old show in the meantime.

They better have some cool beer to sell like in Pandora

 

[Haymarket2008]

The “other worldly pavilion” rhetoric has been used since the Epcot Experience opened. They refer to it as that. It concerned me lol.

It's fine, they can just pull a Test Track and reopen Horizon's as a temporary... oh right.

It was especially funny when with both Energy and Wonders down it forced them to reopen Mission: Space back in 2017. History repeating itself.

And then there was that time Test Track went down for a refurb and left nothing but Mission: Space operational. Something they directly avoided happening in the past, but there was nothing to prevent it this time around.

But then it wouldn’t be a pun!

Yes. "Other" world.

...so it sounds like it's going to be heavily Xandar looking? I mean that's not necessarily a bad thing as Xandar in the movie reminds me a lot of the Tomorrowland movie.

Edit: I'm referring to the interior since we already know what the exterior is going to look like

 

[J4546]

a lot of concrete work is happening now, getting wrapped up on the exterior
