It's a largely featureless room with a curved plastic aesthetic. As Monty said, its very reminiscent of TT in what seems to be the emerging, generic Future World style. Nothing about it reads Xander, and ABSOLUTELY nothing about it evokes Guardians. Show those images to someone unfamiliar with what WDW is currently building and I highly doubt they are even able to identify this as a Marvel attraction.

Well you know - if they market it then everyone will be on the boards saying they over hyped it :)

As a creative designer, I learned a while back that there's no pleasing everyone. Hold back your judgment until something opens, and don't allow other opinions to infiltrate your own. This is YOUR life to enjoy YOUR own things. Everyone will always have something to say, especially in an open forum.

In thinking about it more, the reason it jumped out at me as unimpressive is that I've been to planetariums with a bigger (and more immersive Bob!) domed projection. I expected Disney to build something that would blow away what you can see at a planetarium.

It is just the queue, though.

The Awesome Mix Tape floating through space on the ceiling should probably trigger a memory about Guardians...and isn't this just the entry? Aren't there more rooms?

Well seeing as the first part of the experience is meant to be an exhibition… and the guardians don’t come into play until later… it is doing what it sets out to do.

This is why I disliked the Guardians mix tape appearing. It's an incredibly minor complaint but it does break the supposed theme.

That ship just looks so bad in person. I had a work meeting down in Orlando recently and swung in since I have an AP. All you notice is the giant metal stand holding it up. Like I've said before, that is a 20-30k prop and I believe they cheaped out on it. If you can build a Mazda for 20k, you can build this "star ship" for the same, if not less. It reminded me of something I'd see in Universal and is not up to Disneys standards.

I can live with it overall. But, that back-end? It looks like some kind of mechanical squid. Absolutely ugly!
But, hey, epcot is getting its first coaster. The 5 hour line to ride it should clear the walkways in the WS. There's that...

Seemed odd to me. I think the size is the issue. A tiny mixtape floating by as an Easter egg would be better. As it is, it feels like we are being hit over the head with, “don’t worry! You won’t actually learn anything here. It’ll be silly and fun!”

Yeah -- I was thinking along the lines of, "Yes you're in the right place this is Guardians don't worry!!"
