EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[Mr. Sullivan]

Anyone have any idea as to whether this will be off Virtual Queue by July? It seems crazy for it to remain on VQ for so long.

If it isn’t, I’ve figured out the trick to pretty much guaranteeing a boarding group if you need it

Hopefully I won't need it, but expect to be hearing from me otherwise!

Possibly a mistake, but they just called 79 BGs in a span of 8 minutes during the initial wave at park opening at 8:45am.

^my phone clock is central time fyi

I have BG 40 and when they called me this morning the app said to return by 2pm. I wonder if it's going to close early today. If not why did they choose 2pm?

Probably worst case scenario.

BG 40 is usually called around 10:30am, so typical return window ends at 11:30am. But they don't enforce return windows anyways, so it's just all semantics lol.

Wowza they've put in some stanchions past the preshow according to the other site. Sounds like it forces people into a single file/smaller group quickly past the door. Really hoping it's effective, even if the solution doesn't look that great. Can't wait to hear more reports about how it works

Here's a look at the area after walking through the doors from the teleportation room from this morning:

Oh look, a fire code violation! What fun!

 

[dmc493]

I’m glad they’re trying something at the least

What exactly is the issue here? Are they concerned with people pushing past each other?

 

[dmc493]

I’m not sure anything about this area actually changes now that it’s going to be standby, I’d guess they’re just taking the chance to work on some crowd control here and tone down the shovers, runners, and split parties

What exactly is the issue here? Are they concerned with people pushing past each other?

Imo, 'people pushing' is most likely the issue here. I've been pushed, bumped into and elbowed many times, specially during the last pre-show.

The big issue is people just exiting the pre show completely before it’s even over. I’ve seen it multiple times the entire room emptied out as soon as the teleportation happens, it’s insane cause you have to really push on the doors for them to open and THE SHOW IS CLEARLY STILL GOING ON. Makes me embarrassed to be on this planet with these idiots.

And when those last doors are opened... the stampede!

I feel bad for anyone who actually wanted to watch the preshow that gets pushed out early by people who can’t wait 2 minutes to get back in line.

But you're not on the planet with those idiots. You're up on the space ship... You were *just* teleported. Will you try to pay a little bit more attention.

Here's a look at the area after walking through the doors from the teleportation room from this morning:

Lol this meeting must have been wild...

"Hey team... the hallway after the pre-show narrows way too quickly and it leads to major crowding and safety issues. What should we do to fix that?"
"How about we add in stanchions to make it even more narrow and difficult!"
"Perfect! And just for fun we'll block the emergency exit with one of the stanchion ropes!"

 

[vikescaper]

I guess I don’t see what purpose these stanchions have. The bottleneck is still there, just closer to the exit of the pre-show.

 

[Purduevian]

If they had just not cheeped out and put an AA in the preshow like originally planned... it would have solved this issue.

When I'm in the teleportation room and everyone goes right, I go left. You go rush those doors and squeeze yourselves in like sardines. I'm good back here. What am I going to lose. Another minute?
