News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[Castle Cake Apologist]

Disneyandmore posted the (edit: POSSIBLE) concept art from the building....uuuuugggghhhhh So they're keeping the Xandar theme we thought, but made the building nearly as hideous as the one in Disneyland (which isn't Xandar themed at all)

RIP Epcot's aesthetics

I think that's just Xandar concept art from the films, and not official concept art for the attraction. In fact, I'm pretty sure that same art has been posted in here a couple times as what people think the building might wind up looking like.

Either way, that article was really hard to read lol.

Not concept art, it looks like an actual shot from the movie to me.

Why is this building so freaking big? Dang it, Disney.

To be honest, I thought that it was too, but I didn't want the Marvel fandom stringing me up if I happened to be wrong! I'm only a casual fan (at best), so I wasn't entirely sure.

Big coaster?

Wasn’t this discussed on these very boards a month or more ago?

 

[DreamfinderGuy]

Uhm, that isn't concept art. That's a still from the World Showcase show

Apologies if someone already posted this "fan-made" concept of what could be. Take it with a very small grain of salt. That would certainly be a bit of an eyesore...pretty much from anywhere in the park. It would be a shame to take away from the beauty that is Spaceship Earth.

^^ Horrible- but I think it may be what we are getting.

 

[JEANYLASER]

very interesting concept art I think it's horrible

Let’s be honest with ourselves, nothing will make it look good.

Maybe if it had a 100 foot tall sign that said "EPCOT" and a gigantic mouse arm...

Instead of hiding it or wrapping it in more IP....maybe they could take a play from Walt's book and make it a futuristic community of tomorrow skyscraper hotel something reminiscent to Progress City? As the complementary counterpart to the spherical SSE? Granted that ideas a little "out there" and certainly more expensive than "Go-Away" paint.

Annnnd that would become either the new hotel or something DVC related.

And now we see what happens when Parks are controlled by a man who only understands how to shove Marketing and Retail down peoples' throats. Sightlines be damned! Think of all the merchandise sales!

Considering how obscenely off the perspective is, of course it looks awful. Here is a better model...

Making this a better mock-up...

Yep, probably a better idea. That being said, the views from the rest of the park will be where it gets interesting.

@MisterPenguin, how can I do a scale and perspective accurate visualization of my Groot themed building?

Download and install Google Earth Pro, it's free!

Go to where you want to plop the building. Hit "R" to center yourself above the plot looking straight down. Make sure Terrain is unchecked. Click on the polygon tool. Here I shall add a tower to World Showcase Plaza...

Left click to drop corners and edges of your polygon. Right click erases a point. You can grab and drag points around. You can chose the color of the line and the fill and their opacity. If you don't want a fill, but just a wire frame, reduce area's opacity to zero. Likewise, zero opacity on the lines hides the frame. Here's a pentagon...

When you got the right shape and placement click OK to save it. Now, we'll add height. Right click on your polygon on the map or on the places menu and click Properties to alter it. Go to Altitude. Chose relative to the ground and check Extend sides to ground. Use the slider to add height or type in the altitude (in meters). Let's make it 20m tall and click OK....

Now you want to go into 3D mode, so, click Terrain and 3D buildings. Now, position yourself (the camera's POV) to see how the model looks in 'the real world.'....
