News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[Skibum1970]

They look approximately 1/3 fast food employee, 1/3 hospital worker, and 1/3 military. I’d be curious to know anything about why they went with this design.

Decidely uninspiring. They are taking this notion of removing Epcot's character to its extreme.

By the way, I also do not view this as a spinning coaster (ex. Time Traveler). They keep calling it an omnicoaster which, to me, suggests that they can rotate the car to face specific directions but not freely spinning, depending on the direction changes and other factors. I would not suggest that "spin" and "rotate" are synonyms although they are similar.

I was doing some back of the envelope math on this. Figure this’ll be an ILL attraction within a few months of opening.

I ran the numbers for ROTR. That puts through about 1,500 an hour. Let’s assume it’s open 12 hours a day. That’s 18,000 guests. Let’s assume 20% are set aside for ILL, at $15 a pop. 3,600 purchases * $15 = $54,000. Per day.

I would double your ILL charge but that's a guess.

I think your first words describe Bob’s Epcot very well - Decidedly uninspiring. These costumes fit that to a “T”.

It’s the complete opposite of what the park originally was - Inspirational and aspirational.

Not a fan of the costumes... they lack energy and imagination.

Just wait for AdventHealth to be announced as the pavilion sponsors

I don't know if it's been discussed, but I see one common thing among all the new CM uniforms (besides cheapness); temperature control. By keeping them as thin as possible, the CMs can stay more comfortable. We see it out here at DL with all the new uniforms as well. Cool mornings you'll see them wearing jackets and then once the haze breaks they shed them for the cooler tops.

For reference. Maybe get rid of the cap so it won't look cheap?

I wonder if there is going to be a dramatic change in costume after the preshow, much like RotR going from resistance to first order between the sides of the transport. It has been hinted that our tour gets hijacked at some point and we are no longer on the wonders of Xandar tour.

I was thinking about this myself. Not sure if they would do this. Maybe a more traditional nova corps officer outfit?

Probably not though, you can probably get away with the regular outfit they have here. Even though I am not the biggest fan.

As much as I am sure this is will good, I am sad Ellen is closing so quickly, missing it by a week along with the great move ride...
On the plus side the concept art looks great and I am glad the original building looks to be staying.

Mmm looks like a martini glass to me, are the serving on board the ride?

You mean "something goes horribly wrong"?

This is what I was referring to earlier in the thread.

Yes, these don't look very good, but they're certainly preferable to some bland generic costume that is used for every Future World location.

During Rat, AP was one day after DVC. So it is certainly a possibility for Friday, or beyond lol.

Given that these are directly inspired from the MCU itself...I find it hard to complain. I mean, the color and many details specifically match...so they are pretty much as they should be.

They're based on those from the actual movie?

Except they look more like the Party City Halloween costume equivalent.

John C. Reilly's costume in the movie looked pretty crappy though, too.
