EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[MisterPenguin]

Can anyone give me a synopsis on the reasons for the negativity?

Only if you tell us why you're constantly negging the EU thread.

You forgot to reference the best eyeline match in all of WDW:

I cringe every time.

I roll my eyes more than the chef chewing up the scenery.

Concept art made it look like it would be blue with yellow accents. This is opposite. From the yellow, I'm picturing something like a giant lion fish.

Painters: PLEASE DON'T REPAINT IT!

I'm comparing it directly to the concept art and the paint treatment looks almost identical. The 'cockpit' or center portion of the ship is mostly yellow which is what we are seeing in the concept. The fins are blue with yellow tips.

The concept art you are referring to does not match the Star Blasters we saw in Guardians 1 (I believe later concept art fixed this). What is on-site does match the movie. In short, they fixed a mistake.

The only thing that could accelerate TRON is the 50th, if they want something marketable during the final 6 months of the celebration. But if attendance is fine I agree that they may wait until May 2023 to open it. I doubt they’ve decided and are just working to finish construction to wrap those costs up in their FY 22 books.

Don’t they capitalize and amortize the construction costs like every other company? What’s it matter what fiscal year they finish in?

Since they are building using cash, it tends to look better on the books and the Wall St folks if they spread the construction costs out over as many quarters as possible.

This piece looks like it's housing an electric motor and two hydraulic pumps... anybody know if there's going to be motion on the Xandarian ship?

Just incredible that the ugly grey support is placed in front of the lower fin. This unsightly feature will dominate the views from the front. Why didn't they design the support to be located behind the ship??

The fins will cover it and it will look like the concept art other than the color.

It'll be fine. Yeah, it's fine. fine...

Still looks like a lion fish.

You’re talking about the impact to cash flows as opposed balance sheets?

There are several different versions of the concept art floating around. The color will match the one that also matches the ships in the movie. (see below)

So we got a wing and a breast, add a thigh, a biscuit and fries and a cold drink and this’ll be great!

….we are talking about lunch, right?

But you can’t start depreciation until it opens. Holding a half a billion dollar project on purpose is stupid on many levels.

Yes, yes it does!

Ohhhh THAT'S how it will relate to Moana Journey Of Water! Now it all makes sense.... lol

It amuses me that the big icon of this pavilion is a ship that proved completely ineffective in the films, with dozens being memorably obliterated to show how powerful the bad guy is! Of course, the whole pavilion is themed to a canonically destroyed civilization, so that makes sense.

(Please note, this is not a genuine criticism. There are enough of those for this attraction.)

the ship is going up fast, and some of those pics seeing it in front of the pavilion really gives a sense of how massive this prop is. i like it!
