Gorgeous photo! Already sent it to the fam from your article before seeing you emphasized it here.

I’d love if someone was able to get a photo from within Connections, from farther away (so like Test Track) and the Monorail.
At the moment the rolling bushes are blocking the view of the Starblaster from most angles, so the images I posted above are about the only possible views right now. Once it opens there will be more options.

I think where these 4 rides fall into 2 heavily themed and immersive lands that they will be the exception.

I would be surprised if Guardians didn’t have a sign
I'd also be surprised if there weren't a sign. The bigger question is whether it will maintain the continuity of the theming/story and read "Wonders of Xandar," or whether they break the theming because some people will get confused if it doesn't say "Guardians of the Galaxy."

If we don't have one at this point, I doubt we are getting one.

That said, it is a somewhat... worrying trend. I'd expect cast to get lots fo "what ride is this" from the unexperienced.

Agreed. I understand (even if I don't prefer) lack of signage in "immersive themed worlds." However, Epcot isn't one. Unless, that is, when we are in Epcot we are supposed to believe that we are not in Epcot but instead in an immersive Epcot-styled land. We'd have to suspend disbelief and pretend we are "in" Epcot instead of just being in Epcot.

That's taking self-referential to the extreme.

How many rings does GotG represent. I count only one. If it doesn’t meet at least two, does it belong in Epcot?
I think this will depend largely on the content of the 30-minute Galaxarium loop, yes? I also really wish the Galaxarium had a sunken lower level that was accessible even to non-riders with additional exhibits. Would make me feel much better about the whole thing.

I don’t know what this is but they were 60% of the way toward an acronym. If only they had chosen optimism instead of information and prosperity or pleasure instead of education or entertainment. So close.
