It might have been able to if it had been built in a much larger GotG land AND in a different park.

The best AA are what make the attraction(not a ride) so good for me and millions of others People may not think hey it must have AA, but invariably the best AA attractions are super good and have staying power and better than just a ride. I think that's the point, some of us were Hoping Guardians would lean little more attraction than just ride, more a hybrid.
The 25 Most Incredible Theme Park Animatronics on Earth - Park Lore
It wasn’t too long ago that a theme park attraction was lifeless without Audio-Animatronics. In fact, the number and complexity of these robotic animated figures was often proportional to a ride’s budget and success! Put simply: if you wanted to blow audiences away, animatronics figures were the...

I'd take Pirates, Avatar, Indiana Jones, ToT, and the list goes on.. even Mission Space over this. Heck, even the ancient Space Mountain is more interesting than just a big projection screen.

Has anyone ridden this ride yet? Are there any reviews?

Yeah, it gave me horrible motion sickness once. It did not give my GF motion sickness, but she still hated it because of how much it jerks you around -- her neck hurt after we rode.
I've also been on it once without getting sick, and it was still unpleasant -- more importantly, though, all of the broom flying parts bored me. Only a small part of the ride is actually entertaining to me even if you ignore the ride system.

Over what? The queue? Are you comparing a complete ride to Cosmic's queue?

The fandom's obsession with AA and thinking they are what's right or wrong with the world is really sad and short sighted. AAs are just a tool for a certain purpose - they don't really work well for a lot of things! Stop trying to copy pieces thinking that's what makes something good.
What this thing lacks is anything of substance.. nothing to explore.. nothing to push your imagination and wonder except a giant projection screen... the same screen.. you'll entertain yourself with through the majority of the indoor queue.
This thing is as souless as the Soarin' queue.. which is equally boring. Swoopy walls, fancy metal overlays, big screens/images, neon color lighting.. and you could be anywhere.. not necessarily being funneled to Soarin'.
To think 1979 imagineers put a one of kind kinetic sculpure in this space.. amazing reveals.. and freaking DINOSAURS in this building.. and 2022 imagineers think a CGI video loop is cool now. smh

Did you even read the post and what it was responding to?
Here's a hint... "But, yeah, it's a queue. I can you expect?"
But I don't think we saw the entire queue yet, did we? They keep saying we are seeing a "taste of" - doesn't that mean there is more to this queue or am I completely misunderstanding? (which happens)
oh my goodness, someone answer my question so I can get on with my life!

Yes, this is only the first part of your journey. There are preshow rooms, probably holding pens before that, and what looks to be a lot of queue after the preshow. But I think Disney is teasing this as more than just the atrium...
The preshow art of course shows far more intricate stuff and is probably a mix of video wall, physical sets and AAs..

It’s amazing and horrifying how little they’re getting for that kind of money.

Yes, which is one of the reasons that it seems safe to say the queue will be very unimpressive. Even in that concept art, it looks like Star Wars Launch Bay - blue lights, barely-themed plastic aesthetic, and display cases. Now compare the concept art of the section of queue we've already seen to the reality, and imagine how much worse this already unimpressive space will look in person.

They closed down Epcot some time in the mid- to late 90s.Well let's chuck the whole ride and close down Epcot! It's obviously a failure.
Have good weekends everyone! We're going on a mini road-trip!
I deleted my post because my guy told me no one cares about our road trip.
Sorry!

O ... kay? I was just pointing out that there are likely more sections of the queue than what was mentioned in the post that I quoted, not making any sort of statement about the quality.

It’s gotta be a holding room before/during the preshow. Otherwise these people are terrible at forming any semblance of a line.
