EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
OK. I'll say it. That looks terrible! Texture, paint. All of it! Just... wow.
So I have been hearing that this coaster will have less screen use of the actors than Mission Breakout's main footage in the ride.
Anyone think there is any truth to this?
It makes it sound like 15 seconds, then we see some characters later and get them for five before I am guessing the reverse launch and then the finale, we get around 10 seconds. It seems like this is extremely short but kind of a bummer if the case that we only total a minute or a little over of time with the characters in the ride. But not totally hard to fathom. I would love for this to be wrong though.
Most of the witnessing of film characters will come from the preshow/queue, and even that seems to be Groot and Rocket's message and Glenn Close and similar characters that are not seen in the films.

Haven't the ribs, uh, always been that texture? Or ... at least I think they have been for as long as I can remember. I think folks have perhaps forgotten that you rarely get close to them anyway when the park is functioning normally. More than half of them are supposed to be backstage, and the six or so ribs that aren't are situated in dead ends you normally wouldn't approach.
Also, anything is better than the rainbow ribs, IMO.

Yeah. White is a real odd choice for a primer under charcoal. Usually they do a grey to prime. I think you're right that its some kind of special sealer or weather preparation. This is probably the most guest-facing rib, so I'm sure they want it to be presentable.
That plywood means cranes, so I'm betting we get a Zach Post in the next day or two. Cant wait to see the ship.

Should we start an over/under on how many times the building will be painted?

There's alot of negativity towards this - i thought this was going to be one of the most futuristic attractions at Disney - not just a standard coaster with a paint job.

Don’t judge this site on one thread. In this thread, folks are justifiably angry on how long Guardians is taking to complete, and it’s true, how many times are they going to paint the same thing over and over?
For positively read the trip reports. Mostly all are happy and positive and fun to read.

The threads discussing developments in the parks are going to be very critical (in the sense of critiquing and analyzing) with good reason. They're looking at and discussing new additions, removals, the overall direction the parks are moving in and how the company is handling things in general.
@Disstevefan1 nailed it - if you don't want to read analytical takes of the parks/company, the trip reports would be more up your alley.

While I agree that folks should be able to express frustration over the things that are, well, frustrating about this project, the idea that they're painting this "over and over" again is a fiction that we shouldn't be perpetuating. They painted it copper and changed their minds, switching to charcoal. One change. If you want to say that their tendency to get color wrong around the parks in general is a growing problem (e.g. this, Cinderella castle, etc.), then fine.
Considering the poster in question loves everything they are going to Epcot and WDW in general, I won’t lose a wink of sleep continuing to be critical of this and many, many other things. If you don’t want to read critical analyses and long-time park fans posting about things they see as wrong with the parks and the general direction of things, go find a site more populated with pixie dusters, sunshine, and unicorns.

Angry is not the word I would use to describe how I feel about a ride that'd currently 5 months delayed, considering Gunn has made a while other movie and TV series, it's kinda shocking it's not years behind schedule. Now if it was ready and standing but not operating for six months like they did with Rat ride. Then I'd be angry

Just you wait. It'll be the same iridescent-sunburnt pink, the same as the castle in a few weeks.

This attraction was announced in mid-2017. It's horribly delayed, years behind any reasonable schedule, and Gunn is absolutely not the reason.
I honestly do not understand folks who knew WDW 10 years ago (let alone 20 years ago) and not notice that something is very wrong in the parks. I spent a significant amount of time in each park last year. Overall, MK and EPCOT are not pleasant experiences, despite the fact that each still hosts a plethora of classic attractions. AK and MGM have obvious problems, but they can still offer guests a very enjoyable time.
