News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[FettFan]

It was stated that it would be about the excitement of space.

So....Guardians of the Galaxy Exploring Space on the left. Mission Space Exploring Space on the right.

And a great big waste of space in the middle.

Well, Disney is insisting that nothing is changing.

It was stated that it would be about the excitement of space.

From their blog post:

"First, a “Guardians of the Galaxy”-inspired attraction will be added to Future World, adhering to the original vision of Epcot’s Future World as the place to experience the excitement and adventure offered by space travel."

First off I love space so that's interesting to me. Second, we don't know what kind of an experience it will be.

It's honestly saddening to see how pessimistic people are acting, just minutes after the announcement. We hardly know anything yet.

Sometimes we have to think about what will entice the crowds instead of what a tiny unrepresentative sample of people online want.

We know enough to be unhappy.

No one is going to boycott. Yes, there will an initial bump in attendance, like any new E attraction would do. I'm not against UOE being replaced and I'm not opposed to the ride itself. I'm saying the ride is in the wrong park.

I'm looking for more here. Why do you believe that? Why can't they use Guardians just like they used Ellen and Jeopardy all these years? And what is the ride even going to be?

It’s a roller coaster through space. It’s not about Energy and not about the future (the Marvel Theme Park Universe is set in the present)

One revised a current attraction using an 30 year old solidified educational entertainment TV show. It kept the same traveling theater system.

The other ruined the cohesiveness of Future Land and shoehorned a flash in the pan IP.

UoE should have received an update, this is not what it deserved.

I'll miss you Stupid Judy and Epcot

Thanks mike, I know what shirt I'm wearing to disney in august...

 

[Daveeeeed]

I highly doubt it. It's a complete revamp so it's got to go with everything else, especially with music being a big part of the GOTG films.

At least it's on youtube.

Like around Future World. I agree that Gotg will have a great soundtrack though!

I'm sick of the opinions and desires of basic Disney "fans", those who have no god dang respect for the core themes and values of Epcot, those that set the park apart from literally every theme park in the world, getting a platform to spew their nonsense. Yes, I have no doubt this attraction will be great fun; no denying they will spare no effort. I'm sure the queue and other elements of the show will be top notch. But it doesn't change the fact this is another ill placed attracted based on a crap movie franchise.

I can live with your poor judgment of me. I hope you can do the same!

I am sad to see a classic go away. I love UOE and the tech marvels around it. It's seen better days, heck the sound proof doors don't even shut properly most the time now.

I think it's funny to see them tie the Guardians into Epcot Center of the past. Blue sky: I would love to see them restore the original UOE preshow and then half way through it, a young Peter Quill lookalike in the crowd is interacting with a breakdown in the attraction show. The automatic doors open and the new ride is revealed.

 

[JonnyK]

Im not worried about UOE going gone, but it was an good nap opportunity.. yet those seats were uncomfortable. Looking forward to the new changes!

A classic? A cheap overlay added to an unpopular ride in 1996? With celebrities and cringeworthy humor to make it more appealing? So classic.

Are you even aware of the original pre-Ellen version?

Yes, that's why I said the current version was a cheap celebrity-filled overlay from 1996. The original so-called classic version hasn't been around for 20 years, so it's weird to be mourning it now.

Anyone who think this is a great addition is frankly unintelligent and their opinion shouldn't be taken seriously. I'm not sorry. I'm sick of the opinions and desires of basic Disney "fans", those who have no god dang respect for the core themes and values of Epcot, those that set the park apart from literally every theme park in the world, getting a platform to spew their nonsense. It's frankly why I despise most of my Disney friends, they're mindless drones who lap up everything Disney throws at them. Yes, I have no doubt this attraction will be great fun; no denying they will spare no effort. I'm sure the queue and other elements of the show will be top notch. But it doesn't change the fact this is another ill placed attracted based on a crap movie franchise.

Someone needs to step off that pedestal.

Someone needs to step off that pedestal.

He isn't wrong though.

 

[Madame Medusa]

Some of us aren't just content, some of us are overjoyed. Not only was it a long overdue death sentence for that horrible and unpopular ride, it's being replaced with something that's sure to be amazing.

The Guardians ToT turned out well and that was a cheap overlay. The sky's the limit with actual space and creative freedom to make an E-Ticket based on these beloved heroes!

IPCot. For the days the Magic Kingdom is overcrowded.
