EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[No Name]

why not better wait a bit till its finished before complaining? maybe it is maybe not.

Except it is finished. It matches the concept art and film, there’s no pieces left to add, the reality is that they put an ugly support in front of the bottom fin/wing instead of inside of it.

I am glad you were able to find something to complain about. I am sure the color palette not being to your
taste will have a huge affect on the popularity of this ride.

I can see from a livestream today the building is a lighter grey/lighter blue-grey/darker blueish grey on the side you walk by (hard to actual tell w/out seeing in person) so now the yuck opinion has gone away.

Maybe the attraction sign will attach to the front of the big grey support beam?

For those who are following the filming progress of GotGv3, a casting call for extras was just put out for film dates starting Jan 31 and lasting into mid-February. Looking for "older" people - ages 60-80. Film location still in Georgia.

I think it has been reported that they filmed the ride footage first and it’s been done

You know this for a fact? Did you get the contractors sign off paperwork?

If you look at the ship itself, though, it would likely need some kind of "perch" to land on...or, where this is "an Epcot pavilion about Xandar", having a ship "midflight" and perched on a stand does seem very museum-displayesque?

But couldn’t it be a bit more elegant than a box truss? Kittinger Park in Orlando has an F-4 on display with a much nicer column.

Absolutely...I'm trying to trick myself into thinking "it's not so bad"...and failing miserably.

At the very least they could’ve covered the support with a solid dark color material to make it look like a nicer stand. For what’s portrayed as a very elegant society in the films, the current stand/thing looks very raw and industrial, and this might not be fair to say yet but right now it really catches my eye. Honestly I feel like most museums I’ve been to have better execution when displaying something. I like the ship itself though!

They do at least need some sort of "skirt" to disguise the area where it's bolted to the frame, in my opinion.

 

[milordsloth]

I don't think it looks complete yet. Isn't it still missing this piece on the bottom?

Oh, I agree completely. See my comment after the one you quoted, lol.

Based on the concept art you may be right. There's 9 versus the 8 that are currently installed.

 

[the_rich]

But then again there doesn't seem to be anywhere to attach it. If you look at a side view, it would be out of place. Who knows what they plan to do.

The column doesn‘t taper like that. The cockpit also has finished curves at the top plate which isn’t very indicative of extra pieces being attached as cladding that would make it even wider.

 

[James Alucobond]

Yeah, I pointed out the additional fin a few days ago when they first started, but it's no longer part of the newer concept art of the ship Zach Riddley posted just after that.

 

[milordsloth]

Is there any concept art or anything that shows an ugly steel support like that? It just doesn't make any sense to me that would stay exposed. It must still be unfinished.

If it is unfinished it would mean the cockpit has been heavily modified from the art and movies. There are also no attachment points. The cockpit is smaller than the top plate and clearly sitting on top of it.

Agreed that the support could have been much less obtrusive. We have an entire Blue Angel Memorial in Smyrna, TN that is much more elegant in the manner that the aircraft is supported.
