News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[mcamuso]

Does Memorial Day Weekend sound a little late to anyone here? It sounds late to me, maybe they are trying to space it out from the starcruiser it just sounds later then I would of guessed. Assuming it’s near completion with all these test rides that however doesn’t mean it’s opening sooner rather than later.

I'm guessing soft opening and previews start by 5/1 and official opening right before Memorial Day Weekend.

Memorial Day grand opening was the plan last I asked, although these things have a habit of moving. Don’t want anyone quoting this like that time I was one whole week off on the Typhoon Lagoon opening…

Hmmm…

Reposted with a typo "deigned." The one that got away from the PR department.

I deign to differ!

 

[MisterPenguin]

It won’t let me de-italicize this. I don’t know why.

Turn on mark-up html. You'll see you have the sentence with double italics markers.

Good to see the imagineers really captured the feeling of doing something that is below you!

Perhaps a high level executive touring the ride really resonated with the ride’s mission statement!

I think we just proved that @ToTBellHop is really Geoff Morrell!!

I wonder if Chapek didn’t do well in his science classes in high school.

You would think someone with a BS in Microbiology might be interested in science

…after only 14 years of construction

He called it @epcotcenter In his original post. He doesn’t even know the name of the park. It is a clear indication that he doesn’t understand the intentions of the opening day park vs the mess that is Epcot today.

Thanks. Now how on earth did I do that in the first place???

They may have taken away my phone but they don’t know about this burn phone I use whenever they make me go to Hong Kong Disneyland or Shanghai Disneyland.

Oh, speaking of Shanghai, who is looking forward to riding TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom with me when it opens on

No

Softs still likely in April, but I’m not sure which groups. Could be CMs-only at that point. It would be pre-booked, so Spring Break crowds should not impact the decision on timing.

Early reviews I’ve heard are that the ride is fantastic.

 

[999th Happy Haunt]

I’m… cautiously optimistic?

Well, can you ignore issues of placement and outdoor sight lines once you’re in the building?

This is so exciting!!!

We don't go until next year (possibly), but still excited!

Sure, EPCOT Center is dead

Late? It's been announced as Summer, Summer technically starts June 21 so this actually opens several weeks before the front end of the time window they have previously announced.

Anyone think they may do soft open during DVC moonlight magic? It’s pretty early for a Memorial Day opening. Probably just wishful thinking

"Summer" in Hospitality & Tourism is not June 21.

Ways to define summer, ranked by order of importance to Disney:

1. Whatever Park Ops and Marketing find convenient
2. Friday before Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day
3. Last day of school through first day of school
4. June through August (meteorological summer)
5. June 21 through September 21 (astronomical summer)
