News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

These are the only side pictures I've seen where I noticed the bottom wing is attached at the support as well. Also a pretty good size gap from support to concrete. Conduit is visible, and looks like a secondary plate at the based of the support.

I don't really get the point of the bottom wing if it's going to be almost completely hidden from view by the support.

Unless the truss is somehow temporary and will be replaced with something else now that the ship has been assembled, but I'm not sure how that would work.

I think that photo is pretty good evidence that the support is going to get some sort of cover. I doubt they would leave the bottom plate and conduit exposed like that.

Yeah give it a few more days yall, I think there's more to come

I think you just… would need to walk around it if you want to see the bottom wing

Indeed

My impression is simply that they're very concerned with being on-model, even if that means it's not as visually effective as it could be with modifications. There's practically no way the truss isn't permanent.

Oh the truss is essentially guaranteed to be permanent; that comment was just an attempt to head off people being defensive about it by suggesting it could be removed.

The overall point is that it's badly designed. There are other ways they could have mounted it that wouldn't have almost completely blocked part of the ship from view.

And cladding doesn’t make the support better. It makes it worse as it’ll get bigger. It’s the size of the thing that is so ridiculous.

I think it depends on what they intend to do with it. If it's designed as a landing pad for the ship with its own embedded lighting and effects, cool. If it's supposed to look like a display in a Xandarian museum, then agreed, the mount should've been way more graceful.

From Zach’s latest post, “Stay tuned for more as the team continues to detail and refine this beautiful ship, working towards our Summer 2022 opening!”

Confirms more work on the ship.

I think the power us running up the side you cannot see now that the support is there:

Wish the bottom was a reflecting pond. That would be a great touch IMHO

I agree,,,,but have you seen WS lagoon? ...not asking that to you, just making a comment in general that while I would hope not,,,the Disney of today would do exactly that.

 

[CntrlFlPete]

There has been no signs of any power going into the actual ship itself. It looks like it may be lit from the ground with spotlights.

I did not get a great pic, but I thought the cable (w/ blue tape on it) wrapped around the pipe holding the wing looked like power to me:

I love how so many people jump to conclusions regarding unfinished work

It's not unreasonable for folks to be concerned given the many recent eyesores/additions in the parks.

 

[THEMEPARKPIONEER]

Kind of reminds me of something you would see in Innoventions way back then. They should just change the name of the park to Epcot 94 Land

 

[retr0gate]

I don't believe (and correct me if I'm wrong) it was ever confirmed that the support was finished. One person on here probably said that was the final look everybody ran wild with it. It's almost like what we're seeing is "themed" like some industrial truss structure because that's exactly what it is. Nothing more than exposed supports that I am almost positive will be covered up soon.

 

[DCBaker]

There are concerns about the night lighting package on this being washed out/ diminished by SSE’s new lights (which already illuminate the west half of the façade).

 

[RSoxNo1]

While I don't believe / hope that the box support is the finished product, I think we need to recognize dates on the concept art.

People were suggesting that the concept art with the visible themed support was the newer of the two pieces of artwork. I have that piece as a 2017 piece of artwork with the other piece as a 2019 piece of concept art. Shown below:
