This won’t affect the ride system or layout at all. I’m fairly positive that all the actors are already contractually obligated to be in the attraction, so the whole James Gunn thing is irrelevant. As far as the budget shifting, that happens all the time, and I don’t necessarily believe that the studio was going to fund the film shoot in the first place.
No idea if they’ll get James Gunn to do anything for the ride at all. That seems hairy.
Sorry I can’t be of any more help.

Yep. Drax is an Avengers affiliate.. and Universal has contract to the whole Avengers family.
As to that clip in GMR.. a lot of properties Disney doesn't have the right to use in the park appeared in some of those clips, including Top Gun and King Kong. So I wouldn't put much stock in a second long clip of Drax meaning he's going to be featured in the coaster. In fact, he seems to be notably absent from the concept art and promos for it, as well as the character appearances in WDW.

Disney’s loss is Warner Bros. gain. Oh well.

Of course it could.

Yes, but only because the general public found out about them. You had a mob with torches and pitchforks, hungry for blood, and he (and lassiter) were handy strawmen.

Certainly wasn’t trying to blanket a whole generation, just observations I’ve had over the years. Just pointing that out here as I have in the past. I realize not all folks that are in their 20’s and 30’s think GotG is a good direction and also realize that people in their 40’s /50’s and 60’s don’t all hate the new direction of Epcot. Just a sampling of what I have seen has made me lean a certain way. Didn’t mean to offend you if that’s what I did.
No worries and no offense was ever taken!
Thanks for better explaining your point of view

Yeah, pretty much as I said, lol. Haven’t heard of anything this guy has done.
I prefer James Gunn. More fun

And wouldn't want a guardians film that he did do, either.

Can someone explain the engineering that would make sense to enclose the building before putting in roller coaster track and structure? My brain tells me you would need to lower the supports and track from above the building down into it. Seems much harder to do once a lot of it is enclosed and the roof is partially in place.

Means, methods and sequencing are typically the domain of the general contractor. This process was likely requested to block views of the track. Steel roller coaster track doesn’t need to be lowered down, it can easily be lifted into place. Outside the track, it’s just a lot of pipe being bolted together.

Yep.. after the pilings are poured it's basically an erector set. They don't want views, but there have been some leaked shots from the factory/test area.

For what l heard its going to be the most ambitious ride system ever created, a spinning roller coaster.. or in other words this on steroids
With nicer decorations I would say something like this:
with a preshow like the one in ToT mm.. no, mission breakout
Its going to be good

Building a completely new ride system (the centrifuges for M:S) is a bit different from having Vekoma build you a coaster. They have been doing it since 1926 and also built RnRC, 7dmt, barnstormer, and (sorta) the others as well, as they absorbed Arrow.
They know what the are doing. Having looked at the patent, it's a controlled, motorized swivel on the car, so not like Primeval Whirl which is just a spinning wild mouse that just turns based on inertia.

To play devils advocate, 'Ms. Ellen's Wild Energy Ride' was (in my opinion) incredibly weak. Im not talking Superstar Limo bad, but more along the lines of the kind of feeling you get when you walk through Dinorama. My question is: why do people care that it is gone? Maybe Im not getting it. I just don't see how people can get worked over Ellen, when the real murder was The Great Movie Ride. Now, that, that I can sob over for months that i'll have enough tears to fill a bucket.
