When I first heard about this concert at Epcot, I'll admit, I really wasn't that excited. I absolutely love the Guardians of the Galaxy, & probably even more so the soundtracks. Those soundtracks have basically fueled the years in which they were released for me. I just didn't really think this show was going to come off as anything but a cheesefest. Seeing this little preview video though, has made me realize this isn't a cheesefest, it's an amazingly awesome cheesefest. It does seem corny, but the actors look great, & it looks like it's a lot of fun. I've gotta check this out now. Funny what looks like a throwaway experience at Disney can always fool you. My past couple of visits I've been trying things I never had before, & I've found some real diamonds in the rough. This looks like it could be one of them. You really can't judge a book by its cover, & that especially rings true at Disney Parks. What do y'all think though? Would y'all attend the Awesome Mix Live? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Check Out The Size Of The Upcoming "Guardians Of The Galaxy" Epcot Attraction
Not much to see, but a while lot of work has already been done on the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy attraction coming soon to Epcot in Walt Disney World. Disney Parks Blog has put up this first look at where there at so far. The 3 Olympic size swimming pools worth of foundation have been layed. This really is going to be one heck of a long indoor coaster. I think they're shooting for Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary, so even though it'll feel like it, we don't have too long to wait. I'm very curious for this one. I'm one of the few people who dug The Energy Ride, so for me this has big shoes to fill.
Extensive New Details For Epcot's Coming "Guardians Of The Galaxy" Attraction
One of the major losses to the Disney Parks this year was that of Ellen's Energy Adventure, formally located in EPCOT. However, at the 2017 D23 Expo it was told that it would be replaced with a Guardians of the Galaxy themed roller coaster. Not much has been said since then, until now. WDW News Today has basically gave a whole rundown of the mechanics of this upcoming attraction. The entrance will be in the same spot, but the doorway will now take you into the Welcome Gallery. The building appears to be many levels, where you climb a series of ramps to get to the elevated load platform. There's a second room, the Xandar Gallery, is probably filled with Xandarian relics. This room will lead to the first pre-show, labeled in their documents as "singularity". "Singularity", by the way, is the only clue we get to the actual story of what will be going on. So feel free to speculate. A second pre-show will take place in the next room, the transformation room. Where some kind of guest transformation takes place, involving a giant red cannon looking thing, Rocket Raccoon, & Groot. They will appear with a ship as projection, as it looks like there's no animatronics. Afterwards, you head upstairs to the load area. Two trains will load & unload at a time, featuring five cars that hold guests in four, two by two. Loaded up, they will then head into the launch tunnel, where they get shot into the added building behind the old attraction. Standing 12.2 stories in height at 133 feet tall, the building houses a coaster with no inversions. Making it seem to be a lot like Space Mountain with added projection effects. Many twists, turns, & straightaways follow in what they say seems to look like a pretty long coaster ride. They say it doesn't look like there's any show elements throughout the ride, which is a little disheartening. It looks instead like it's just lighting, but it also sounds like some pretty early on stuff too. Either way this ride sounds awesome. I hope the story they've been developing is really cool too. When first announced they really keyed in on that point, & that it shares an actual place in EPCOT for a reason. I can't wait to hear more about this. Mainly because I'm really curious if they are going to add some more to this or not. I personally would love for some story elements throughout this ride. What do y'all think of this run-through though? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
"Guardians Of The Galaxy" Ride Coming To EPCOT To Be A Roller Coaster
According to WDW News Today the Vice President of EPCOT, Melissa Valiquette confirmed that the Guardians of the Galaxy ride coming to EPCOT will be yet another roller coaster at the EPCOT 35 celebration. Y'all know how I feel with Disney & coasters, but this is a little different of a scenario. This will be the first coaster added to Epcot since it's inception. I just hope they find a way to keep this attraction on theme to Future World. WDWNT sources claim the coaster will load in the former Universe of Energy attraction, then it will launch guests through a tunnel into a 10-story tall show building. The ride system is reported to be the first of it's kind, but know details as to how it will differ from traditional coasters. I can't wait to hear a little more on this. Like I said I hope they keep theme, but besides that my actual excitement level will depend on just how unique this attraction winds up being. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one. What do y'all think? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
