It's a rather stupid design. The rotation and support is along the center. That's a lot of weight to support and turn.What is so complicated about making it slowly rotate again? Or let me guess, it's all about $$$, probably some expensive diamond cut, chrome plated cog wheel needs replacing
Honestly they should just remove it if it's not going to rotate anymore.

Is there a squealing with delight emoji? Not that a pirate would ever do that...

I usually wouldn't care if Guardians of The Galaxy bombs or not but I do care about Epcot and it's original ideals and if GOTG2 is a success it could potentially damage Epcot so thus I hope it bombs

However, the criteria (10 capsules) required that design configuration.... by definition a centrifuge must rotate around a point with the rider at the end of the arm to impose the desired G forces. There is a mathematical correlation between the length of the arm and the speed at which the motor must spin the arm to get the desired effect.
Believe me.. the company and engineers that designed and manufactured the physical device know how to build centrifuges.

I was not commenting on the centrifuges, but the gravity wheel in the queue.

I heard that one of the green team centrifuges simply can't spin again- as in, if it does, it'll catch on fire. Is that true?

If it's anything like those it would become a must do for anyone that can take it.

GotG vol 2 'bombing' has the same probability as WDW closing permanently by the end of the week.
So good luck with that.
Also, replacing Ellen with something more modern (regardless if it includes IP) is hardly going to 'damage' anything. Have you been on Energy? Have you listed to how dated it actually is?
And if it went into an unused area instead? Even better.

Intriguing.
Great tip! I will!
Agreed, it is so not going to bomb. Disney already has GotG Vol 3 ordered. You do that only if your focus groups tell you that you have a sure fire hit.
And GotG2 has been killing it in advertising and previews. I would pay to see the last set of trailers, they're that good.
This is another billion dollars for Disney/Marvel.
As Disney/Marvel has to start setting up the new generation of Avengers (since the current cast can't go on forever), and that is a big unknown if audiences will accept Avengers: Next Generation; what is known is that the GotG franchise is going strong. And y'all know what that means for the parks...
Who's fault is it that it is hopelessly dated?
Why not update it? Why not make as dramatic and as full use of the pavilion as the 1982 version did?
Why not got for the "big bang" storyline instead of a 3 minute blink and you'll miss it thrill ride?

Late to this thread, but let me say that I love the exterior of M:S. I just wish the attraction itself was as well done.
Don't you mean facade?
The other Futureworld buildings were designed to be interesting architecture from any angle. MS is a square shed with a pretty front.
To really update the ride, you'd have to remove almost all of the dinosaurs, which would be a really big change, and maybe take away what was once its big draw. Bill Nye apologetically says that the dinos have nothing to do with "fossil fuels" but that they're just "cool".

It's more about when you're walking through from the plaza. Like Horizons, and The Land sight lines were mainly from the center.
I guess the difference is that it's view is pretty much only from the center, but I don't see how that is a bad thing when it does it's purpose well.
Bill Nye would be removed.
