'My Disney Experience' app has been updated to include a new digital map of EPCOT, which features the finished version of Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind.

The previous version of the map showed the pavilion without the Nova Corps Starblaster or other new design details recently added.

The walkways have also been updated to show the revised traffic pattern that guests will use to access Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind.

Disney is continuing to piece together all the construction and operational elements needed to open this attraction as its summer 2022 debut nears.

I'm not a big fan of Cosmic Rewind -- it's fine, but I don't think it's remotely a special attraction -- so I wouldn't mind losing those things for something better. I also think the half a billion price tag is a problem, not a good thing (spending half a billion on a ride certainly could be a good thing, but CR doesn't have the content to justify that price). Regardless, I'm certainly not suggesting the Imagineers don't care or aren't trying to design the best possible attractions. Just because CR doesn't work very well for me doesn't make it bad; most people seem to love it. It doesn't really matter how I personally feel about something if it's an overall success.

Would this be a retrack or a full-blown rebuild with a new layout like Tokyo? I feel like that would make it too much like Cosmic Rewind or even Tron right next to it. Right now Space relies on its 1975 charm as a form of differentiation, so I hope that any overhaul keeps the general structure of the attraction intact. I’d be happiest with a re-track and re-profiling by either Vekoma or S&S since Arrow Dynamics isn’t around anymore, a new cable-lift system that removes the un-immersive lift hill noise, on-board audio, and new effects/projections during the coaster layout. Those are all upgrades they could do to modernize and make the attraction vastly more enjoyable while still retaining the original Space Mountain

Tdo?

Wouldn't that require a complete rebuild? This doesn't seem like something Disney would fund absent an IP, which makes me nervous...

Wait so, theme updates to Space Mountain in MK? Would this be when they refresh the tracks as well?

It's too bad they didn't just do that at EPCOT instead of Cosmic Rewind. Then maybe they could have built a good Guardians attraction elsewhere. Note that I'm not calling Cosmic Rewind a bad attraction (although I don't think it's a great one) -- just that it's a bad Guardians attraction in terms of capturing what makes the IP interesting/fun. Cosmic Rewind would be just as good, if not better, if it was a space themed coaster without the misused Guardians.

Makes us hope that Groot and Gamora will be visiting guests down the line as shown in the concept art..

It must be incredibly difficult to find a Chris Pratt lookalike or they're struggling in the makeup department.
