Is there only one launch? The article makes it seem that way. I understand this is just from very early reports though

wow so most of those predictions were pretty far off. We were expecting a lift hill in the UoE building and an additional launch/lift near the end of the ride.
Ride time is just over 3 minutes.

This tracks with what I had on my model, and the second launch. Few teething problems today but this is why they test with Staff and not real guestsRide time is just over 3 minutes.

Can you explain? It sounds like there is no "second launch" so how does this track with your model that predicted one?
Possibly a fast chain lift for that second launch? Appears to be not quite LIM launch speed, but not a slow chain.
Friction wheel lift?
Could be

Remember that magnetic launches can be controlled. You don’t get slung forward on the PeopleMover.

I literally used a slow LSM for the second launch, but I have heard about about a second launch roll back today so not expecting it to be drive tyres as that would be extremely worrying

A launch doesnt have to be high acceration or high speed.

Refresh my memory, has it been confirmed that Bradley Cooper reprised his role as Rocket for the ride?

I dont know what the elevation building has to do with something that dwarfs the earth which is my point.Oh, that must be because you didnt notice that huge blue building behind the main one. No worries though, it’s so well done, no one sees it! Practically invisible! He’s perfectly able to fit it that one though, they made sure of that!

This is one new ride that I am going to watch the ride videos of.
I did my best to avoid doing that with Rise and Flights of Passage because I didn't want to spoil the surprise for myself and my family.
But I believe (unfortunately) that our next WDW vacation will be years from now, given the age of my son's (20 yrs. old) and what that position in life does to future family vacations.

Man - you really missed the plot in those attractions.
Man - you really read more into the plot than was there in those attractions.

It's easy.. each told a story that established an arc and purpose in their space and then told you to go off and continue that trajectory as an optimistic go-forward mission. Even JII was all about teaching you the potential of what is to come if you just embraced imagination and creativity. The very notion of creativity is about the future.. about what you can do, not just what was before.
Sorry you were so focused on a 'history lesson' and couldn't see the forrest for the trees and missed the entire lesson.
All of those pavilions were about forward outlook and optimism about what we could do. Just because several took the mechanism of looking back to establish HOW we've done this before and ARE doing it today instead of simply cold-turkey telling you its what you SHOULD do.. doesn't mean none of this was about future. The purpose of looking back is to establish the credibility of the sponsor's role in the message, to bring familiarity to the message, and to build confidence in that the message is achievable.
TLDR - It's a "you know this, you can do it!" pep talk approach instead of getting a lecture on something you don't feel you can relate to or believe in.
But.. you be you.. it's just a dancing purple dragon and fake oil stories.
So, just looking forward is enough justification to exist in "Future World?"
I guess looking forward to galactic space travel is enough justification for GotG:CR.
And what was it that hang gliding over famous California landmarks was looking forward to? Flight? Which was already more than 100 years old?
And was Test Track looking forward to? buying a car?
Reaching is reaching.
Living with the Land was perfect for "Future World" as was The Seas until they took away the theme of underwater adventure awaiting us all... in the future.
