News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[Animaniac93-98]

A 30+ minute CGI movie?

I imagine that ate up a lot of the budget.

 

[Casper Gutman]

I like “sinuous ramping,” but I think I prefer “sensuous stairways.”

 

[gorillaball]

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

No, we are reviewing the entirety of the ride after having seen first hand (errrr, pics/video online) of this section.

 

[Elizabeth Swann]

Well here is a video and it really is less than a second for the Yeti. I believe that if the shadow Yeti where he tears the track didn't work it would be more of a disaster. I believe the Yeti is shown around 3:10

I never knew there used to be mist effects on EE

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...

That’s just not true, there are not millions of people who care about AAs like you do. To insinuate it’s “just” a ride and not a theme park attraction if it doesn’t have AAs is one of the dumbest and most pretentious things I’ve read on here in a while.

I have already said this on here, but it bears repeating. Also the room with the railings appears to be after the galaxarium ramp but before the pre show rooms. Maybe the "upstairs" bit is some what limited, but im failing to understand why the court of Niche opinion has come to the verdict that the ride is terrible

Did everyone forget that "museum" rumor that was supposed to hold some vintage EPCOT stuff? From Zach's post it sounds like it's part of the queue now.

Looks like the folks designing the GotG queue show are devout Flat- Earthers.

Because people are forming strawman vs what is actually being talked about.

No one said the ride is terrible. People are talking about how a ride with a half billion dollar spend results in an atrium with a big projector... instead of something with real substance.

 

[flynnibus]

We'll probably be told its not a projector, but a one of a kind 50ft OLED screen custom designed just for this attraction.. so we can feel better about how much they spent on it

 

[HauntedPirate]

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.

We'll never ride FJ again. My wife was so motion sick she needed to sleep, and I felt off for hours after riding it.

This answers a question I posted earlier -- in the videos it looked like it was all one queue, but I see in your diagram it's actually two separate loops with LL going to one side and regular standby to the other. That makes more sense.

 

[Hawg G]

I don't mean to say it looks bad.

I just thought it would be bigger, I guess? Like more of a domed ceiling with a larger projection? It looks a lot smaller than I thought it would be -- I was expecting it to basically fill the whole room. I think the rest of the room being completely empty makes the size (or lack thereof) stand out more.

But again, it's just a video/couple of photos and it could look different in person. Don't really have a sense of scale yet.

Cmon, they only had half a billion bucks.

 

[Hawg G]

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.

Seems in line with Tron and the Star Wars hotel.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Otherwise these people are terrible at forming any semblance of a line.

You mean like in the queue for Festival of The Lion King?

 

[Magic Feather]

I'm a little surprised that people haven't figured out a few more story elements. Between the concept art (even back to some of the earliest pieces) and the UOE building layouts, a lot of pieces are there that some may not have put together. Maybe a good starting question is when do you "leave" the UoE Building/Exhibit?

 

[the_rich]

Did you ever experience the ride when the yeti was working?

While I still thoroughly enjoy everest, it was much better with the yeti moving. I was there the year it opened and it really felt like the yeti was going to get you.

Something, something, oh no something went wrong, whooooooooooosh into space.

 

[Hawg G]

You are forgetting something.

I think that AA was sort of the perfect example of how the media will lie for Disney. So much was said about how amazing it was, it’s just a big fish tank floater.

 

[RSoxNo1]

I for one am disappointed about a lack of AAs, but at the same time my favorite indoor coaster is Space Mountain in Disneyland. That ride is driven by screens and a musical score. The track layout leaves something to be desired but the screen effects combined with the music really enhance the attraction for me.

I've been cautiously optimistic for this attraction to be great, in part because it has to be.
