EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

I expected that you were referring to the Frozen ride; I have not been on the WebSpinners ride. It looks like WebSpinners is the same concept of the DC ride; I would hope that the quality of it were better.

Universal definitely makes rides that are well done; but we don't enjoy them as much as Disney (Hagrid's motorbilkes would be a significant exception but you have to have someone with you willing to ride in the passenger seat - not the same experience at all; Mummy is really good; most others are too much noise)

Jurassic Park River Adventure and E.T. are great! They're my two favorite rides at Universal. Mummy is probably third.

If you’re a big thrill person Velocicoaster blows any other coaster in Florida out of the water, at least in terms of pure layout and thrills.

Well The Zach’s posts are unfiltered behind the scenes looks filled to the brim with true insider information.

They're pre-written, the other month they F'd up and forgot to delete a section of copy with notes on.
I feel like they're trying to do what Joe used to do with Instagram, to make zack the relatable celebrity Imagineers only it's much more contrieved than the Authentic stuff Greg and Shelby put out on Velocicoaster.

Probably when they start referring to all guests as "treasured guests"

“Treasured/cherished guests” has always read a bit like “Dear Leader” to me, but without any of the associated authoritarian power.

I think he was being sarcastic. Most people know that he is nothing but a PR puppet (at least his posts on IG, don't want to comment on his actual work).

Speaking of, what actually are The Zack's design credits? He just kind of started showing up everywhere one day, but has he actually designed any of this stuff?

Fair warning - extreme corporate gobbledygook awaits once you enter that cave of wonders.

I mean... he was the graduate school valedictorian at one of the best architecture schools on the planet. So he's obviously wicked smaht.

To be clear, I'm laughing at the Bawston accent, not his achievements.

Wow. how do I get to the, "intersection of strategy, design and development"? Sounds like a great ride. If LL is offered, I'm definitely paying!

I'm sorry. The joke lines itself up too well not to make regardless of my thoughts on the box.

Yup, I’m a jaded coaster enthusiast, and it had been a long time since a coaster took my breath away, blew away my expectations, and completely knocked my socks off (5-7 years, when I rode my first RMC) but Veliciocoaster did. I’ve been on over 300 coasters, and it’s in my top 10 despite my preference for negative g hyper coasters. It is absolutely amazing.

His official title is “WDI Portfolio Executive” for WDW. I’m assuming that he kind of just reviews all the projects that go on at WDW? He just posted some spiel about Drawn to Life

The portfolio executives are the lead creative for their portfolio. Joe Rohde was Portfolio Executive for Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

At least Joe seemed to actually have some "hands-on" on AK projects. And, he wrote his own copy -- as far as we know. At least he has better copy writers than The Zach.

And it's not even my favorite coaster within 100 yards of it's location, to each their own. One isn't correct and one isn't incorrect.

Opinions are opinions, like Hagrids better eh? It was a very well themed ride, and I do love its “big event” but on a coaster level it goes down in the fun (and will ride whenever possible) but not amazing category. Without its theming I’m not sure I would still say that, strip Veliciocoaster of its theming and put it up Six Flags style (over a crumbling parking lot) it would still be very high on my list.
