Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind - General Discussion

Yeah, i've come around to not caring. It'll probably look better plain anyway rather than wasting a bunch of money to extravagantly theme it. A building this size would not be cheap to theme.

I do wonder if they will paint it blue or green though.

They are saving all the mirror tiles, and it's going to look like a giant disco ball box.

I'd say Blue>Grey>Tan>Green are the odds in that order. It just makes sense that they take the Soarin approach with it. But we'll see.

"Mommy? What's that large giant building over there?"
"Son, that's where EPCOT dreams go to die."

Talking about the Imagination building right?

They could put a giant bare steel coaster in front of the gravity building to hide it. Disney fans can't seem to get past a giant steel coaster.

It’s amazing that that is only half of the building - I say this in a slightly optimistic way this time.

Now hopefully Disney delivers on the actual ride.

 

[snayberry]

This is going to be insane. I can’t wait to see how the ride will turn out.

Relevant to the ride...just realized Groot is a ripoff from Malicifent.

...what?

Similar to how Bert Macklin (FBI) is related to this ride, right?

A ton of Groot's got killed during the production of this ride :'(

I believe James Gunn once said in an interview that the ride would indeed invert, which may help explain the size of the building.

That clearing isn't for GotG...

Yup, gonna be a retention pond so they can move existing ones around in order to build a hotel.

James Gunn also said the ride would fully honor and conform to the original intentions of Epcot's salute to science, the natural world, and human achievement. We have yet to see any evidence that's really the case.

In any case, I hope he's wrong. As much as I don't like the idea of this ride in Epcot, I would at least like it to be an attraction I can experience. If it has inversions, I'll probably never ride it. I have yet to encounter any coaster with inversions that didn’t trigger some amount of lingering vertigo for me, so I just don’t do them anymore.

I had heard that it had no inversions. I'm hoping that remains the case. I think that Marni stated that over on Magic.

Could it be possible that Imagineering doesn't know if the ride will invert yet or not? They build a building big enough to house their biggest practical idea and then figure out what to put inside of it as the building is going up?

Nothing gets this far along if they don't know what they're doing.
