I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this ship will rival the castle as most photographed object in MK for about a year .. lol

Crazy to think that the MK castle is allegedly the most photographed structure in the entire world (going off of Instagram post).

It looks ugly.

It looks ugly.

It is what it is. This is what the ships on Xandar looked like in the movie. You may think it ugly, but it is accurate ugly.

 

[OG Runner]

Thank you to everyone that provided me with information on windy, windy Florida!

Who cares? It looked better in the concept art. Couldn’t they have painted it any other color?

This discussion finally confirms for me that it was indeed a sinkhole that forced Horizons to close. Otherwise, they would have used its façade for Mission: Space, which would have saved $50 million and allowed Excavator instead of Dino-Rama.

The only sinkhole associated with Mission:Space is the massive hit on their balance sheet.

But I'm sure TheZach will comment on how the unique and ingenious WDI team came together to create this iconic piece that harkens back to Walt's Stan Lee's original vision for EPCOT Center, leveraging Disney Marvel storytelling.

For the benefit of the sarcasm-challenged...

Disney can't use the M-word in the parks, remember? And TheZach always toes the company line, so if they can't use it, he can't, either.

Concept art wasn't correct though... This is what the ship looks like:

Which matches what they are installing.

You and your logic. Brer Oswald is not going to appreciate that.

Logic must be given. The truth will set us free.

Can’t they ever improve anything? Or do they only know how to copy and paste stuff from movies?

Can’t they ever improve anything? Or do they only know how to copy and paste stuff from movies?

and then people will complain that it does not match.

You're a huge fan of Splash Mountain.
Should the critters there be different colors, or should they make up different critters?
This is a craft from the film, and it's one of a size that can be created full scale and put in front of the queue building.
This is what it looks like, these are it's colors.

Wrong example. Aren't they planning to change Splash Mountain from Song of the South themed
to Princess and Frog themed?

I have always liked this craft, not sure why but I think it’s design, as well as some other craft in Guardians are designed well. Excited to see how this comes along.
