Too bad the show building doesn’t imitate the care that went into the original pavilions at Epcot Center.
At this point, I just want a cutting-edge attraction in my favorite theme park.

It seems that the Energy pavillion will remain the "main pavillion" for the attraction. The Gravity building, even though it is huge and easy to see, is intended to be not a point of focus and a backstage building.

To each his own. Granted that test footage is simply to demonstrate the concept for how the ride can work. We need to wait and see how the actually program the movements and whether or not there may be slow down and speed up spots along the track. But I highly doubt its a tea cups on a roller coaster vibe
Consider the gravity building is about 2/3 the height of SE, it'd be quite difficult to get four of them into the gravity building, unless they're building a hypercube.
Now, if GotG winds up with four times the volume of SE, or the track is four times longer... that I could believe.

The ride has been called 'family friendly' in PR materials and Chapek just doubled down on the family appellation again. It should wind up being somewhere between 7 Dwarfs and BTMRR. Like Grimgotts but no full stops.

If you can ride primeval whirl then you will be just fine here.

It's going to be tamer than Thunder Mountain? Are you sure? Not that I'm complaining--that's the kind of coaster I like--but I would have expected something a tiny bit zippier.

I assumed he meant volume. I found it odd he says it as a point of pride, as if GotG will be 4x better than the park flagship simply because the gravity building could hold 4 SE. Who cares how big the show building is, if it's hideous and the ride is bad (not saying the ride is bad, time will tell). But to gloat about the size of an unthemed box is incredibly strange to me.

Some people believe size trumps all other traits. This ride will be more family, more Disney, more biggerer.
Same issue. Eisner near the end had no balance and new blood was needed. Iger has never really had that balance and new blood is overdue.

I'd interject it has been done before - poorly.
This style of system has a lot of potential. Really there is nothing all that groundbreaking about being able to control the direction of vehicles (omni-movers) or boats (Shanghai)... and yet their first installations make some groundbreaking rides!
I'm curious to see if they can avoid all the Gringott's pitfalls, which are many. Not the fault of the ride system, however.

The true American way of thinking. "If you can dream it bigger, then you are better".
Disney is embiggening the theme park experience!

In that case, it shouldn’t be as visible as it is. Those things set Disney apart from everyone else.
Correction: long ago, those things set Disney apart from everyone else.
But we have pages of complaints. I digress. Back OT...

A couple of thoughts.
I think he mentioned the size of the building to make it understood that this is something bigger than Slinky Dog Dash. (Which I thoroughly enjoy) He wanted to emphasize that this is intended to be an E ticket ride. (Can I still use E ticket or is that considered passé here)
They keep referring to this as a 'gravity building'. That leaves me to believe that this will not be like Gringotts in that we won't pause for a projection scene. I keep thinking it will be more like Rockin' Roller Coaster in that you get one initial energy input and then coast the rest of the way. But then again, I am just guessing.

Oh, you can. They just chose the simple route.

Oh I absolutely agree. I wish more guests cared (and wasn't trying to say it as a defense to not do anything). I guess the parking lot and sightlines thing was a mix of discussions that sort of derailed, lol.
