Thats the one single thing that annoys me to this day. All that money and you couldn't make the interior light proof?

Agreed. Seeing that infrastructure instantly cheapens it.

theres even cheaper ways that old school disney could have even done... like black fabric stretched across... dark with no huge seams can block out alot especially when viewed for split seconds.
Why are there cobwebs in space?

Obviously haven't been on it myself but strictly basing an opinion on the videos available to us now, I think the ride looks like a lot of fun and I'm eager to one day get there and experience it for myself.
I do wish they had done more to dress-up or disguise the show building out back, though. I get that they painted this and portions of TRON a "sky blue" to be less distracting but it's still a far cry from, "we designed the Tower of Terror a certain way to better blend in with the Morocco pavilion's skyline".

If you cant hide it then make it cool... instead of "hiding it" embrace it. there are some things that would have made it better.... here are ideas from a non creative person
maybe install fiber optics that show the constellations moving at night.
use it for a projection show at night
(at least in those situations theres kind of a use for it)
Sell parts of it to sponsors to be used as a billboard!! (im kidding but it sounds like disney)
although this would be better for disney land or mk.. it certainly goes with the state of disney.
or paint this with the sky fading in...
use this to match it to the space theme

The building is so huge that making it intricately themed would actually detract from Spaceship Earth, at least in my opinion.
That's not to suggest I'm okay with them building a giant unthemed box -- just that ideally it would be themed but also about half the size so it wouldn't pull attention away from the geodesic dome.

"During an invited preview of Walt Disney World's Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewindattraction, The Direct asked Disney Imagineering about the influence of Chloe Zhao's Eternals on the design of the Celestial Eson.
Not only did they confirm having worked with the Eternals design team, but Eson's fresh appearance is an effort to be more "cohesive" and part of a "new direction" for the look and design of Celestials.
In the original Guardians of the Galaxy film, Eson looked like a larger and taller Thanos when he levels the face of the planet he's walking on using his staff that contains the Power Stone.
But now, much like Arishem in Eternals, Eson is largely portrayed from the torso and up and is significantly larger than a single planet. He also has a more ancient, worn appearance and his own gravitational pull, evidenced by bits of rock and debris circling around him.
Eson also appears to only have four eyes in the Cosmic Rewind attraction, as opposed to the six he was seen with in 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy."

The box is not good, but I think given the enormity of it unthemed was the right choice vs trying to do something with it.
Those are screams of appreciation for the story.

They seriously have to fix the first projection screen before the launch. The projector is low enough that your heads cast shadows on the screen, blocking the image.

I think minimally themed would be preferable to unthemed in this case. Since it's not exactly rectangular with an impacted west-facing side and that awkward entry chute coming off of the pavilion, I think I'd clad the entire horizontal portion of the entry in some kind of fake hedge greenery (it's already painted as such) and then do something curved and amorphous around the rest of the facade just to soften it from the locations where it's most visible (World Showcase, monorail, skyliner). You could even keep it similarly colored and mostly featureless aside from the texture of the cladding (maybe striated in some way to emphasize the added curves?). I just think it needs to look considered rather than slapdash like a warehouse.

Someone should ask why the most powerful being in the MCU (so far) had to steal a fairly common appliance from a not-particularly-advanced civilization to carry out his very haphazard evil scheme. It reduces a Celestial to the level of Paste Pot Pete.
I really want to know what the original plot of this ride was going to be, because I’d wager it was not going to feature a Celestial until late in development.
Words to that! Howard The Duck should have come before Eternals.
One has to read their reason as more of:
"The rendering for theirs was going on at the same time that we needed to animate ours, so that is what we used."
We had that happen on our 2nd ride, but after "We've seen weirder things, Quill", we sat there for just over 5 1/2 minutes in silence before the reverse launch started (without warning).

They shoulda just Kirby-d it. Can’t go wrong with the King as your reference.
Also - Eson in the first GotG looks nothing like Thanos, unless they just meant he was vaguely humanoid.
One of my favorite bits of theme park trivia is that Howard the Duck has (indirectly) produced a major theme park attraction - the films failure encouraged Universal to launch the first HHN.
Forbidden Journey was 85 million in 2010. Space Mountain meets Gringotts meets Test Track 2.0 with a bit of Ironman from WDSP was 450 million ish.
Go figure.
