The way that works though is with the iconic exterior as well. Having said that, the 5th dimension scene in Florida makes it a better attraction IMO.

I think it would make sense, but they probably wish to get GotG into the parks sooner rather than later. They aren't changing Star Tours until Star Wars land opens which seems like 2019 at the earliest for DHS. I think they want to have GotG in the parks in the next year or so.

While I'd prefer original attractions, I completely agree. It would be far from worse than Tower. I would have a problem with Space Mountain getting a permanent Guardians overlay. I'd love Buzz to get swapped out now that Toy Story is getting a fleshed out land to itself.

Space Mountain as a concept is iconic. The Florida version of Space Mountain is not. I'd be disappointed to see Space Mountain removed entirely, but the attraction needs to be rebuilt at the very least.

This whole thread has just reminded me about how sad both Future World and Tomorrowland are currently. Given that nobody seems freaked about anything in Tomorrowland (except CoP), I'm thinking it is Future World that could be getting the WoM treatment with a GOTG makeover. Now is it Energy, WoL or Imagination?...all would rile the Epcot Theme purists potentially more than ToT.

1. Put GotG in Splash Mountain
2. ???
3. Profit
Quite simple really.
Sure, unless you fully gut everything including the gift shops. Obviously Disney would never do that though. They can replace a ride with a M&G but a gift shop will always stand.
Amended.

I find it all a little fishy, but maybe that's just me.

I would be okay with a temporary GotG overlay on Space Mountain, maybe just for a few years, but we all know there's no such thing as temporary at WDW.
It's really a shame that we even have to worry about losing an attraction at all here. I just don't understand why they can't build a brand new E-ticket for the franchise. As we've seen with Frozen Ever After, overlaying an old attraction can take just as long as building a new ride from scratch, so I think that kind of negates the argument that they're doing this to get the Guardians in the parks faster. Whatever the reason is, it's just so frustrating that DHS is screaming for new attractions and a franchise that would fit well in that park and is deserving of a brand new E-ticket is not being given one.

That and they probably consider Stitch too sacred to get rid of.

Just look at the "temporary" HyperSpace Mountain at Disneyland. I'm sure it was supposed to be gone by now. For GotG Disney just needs to bite the bullet and build new. I'm sick of overlays.

I almost think Finding Dory's aquarium/marine rescue setting was picked specifically so they could retool Seas with Nemo again. Making Sea Base into the not-Monterrey Bay Aquarium would at least be a tasteful way of handling the IP versus the tackiness of what's in there now.

If TDA wanted to save money by Bringing TDO on board, why not overlay both Space Mountains? (How much could it cost to get some onboard audio in WDW) It's a much better fit than destroying TOT and the IP would make more thematic sense in Tomorrowland. And they still would have Star Tours to fuel the Star Wars hype until SWL opens.
Is GOTG in DCA a done deal? Please NO.

Florida's track cannot support the weight from an onboard audio system. A few years ago, Space Mt. should have been gutted and rebuilt from the ground up, but Phil Holmes blocked that from happening. WDW's track layout is FAR superior to the nonstop spiral in DL, but DL has a smoother ride with better FX. Look up YouTube videos of the two Space Mts with the lights on, and you'll see how badly Florida needs a new track.
Well since my "likes" were noticed, I guess I'll say that yes, what I have heard involves Epcot, though I don't know too many details. I'm curious to see if what @WDW1974 is hearing is the same as what I'm hearing. Anyhow, hopefully Spirit will be able to find out some more information on this and let all of us know

Well there goes that idea... And all my hopes and dreams.
I'm stilling holding onto (most likely false) hope that this wont happen at DCA.

Sadly, I'm pretty sure GotG has been confirmed for DCAs ToT.

Has anyone considered Gotg with test track?
