Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind - General Discussion

[Disneyhead]

So popular that Disney will have three new coasters open by 2021 at three different parks.

Maybe 4.

This ride has potential to be fun, engaging and informational (Gringotts plussed), but if it turns out to be a cheap Rock 'n' Rollercoaster clone it will be a major disappointment to me.

Do we know if it is "Guardians do Energy" or just dump an IP?

Maybe 4.

Moana volcano launch coaster? Please?

I believe he's talking about DAK, but I could be wrong.

The proposed Indy land where this would replace the spinning mouse?

That's how I took it. This is the first thing that springs to mind:

Sort of. Raging Spirits. The Tokyo version of that ride. Way less painful.

That ride would need a lot of plussing to be worth it.

 

[Andysol]

Perhaps.

Another one, that I don't think we ever got an answer on who did it, was 7DMT from Vekoma as-well? It wouldn't shock me in a bit.

I would think Vekoma would be the ones to do Guardians, not Mack. Could I be wrong? Perhaps, but I don't think Mack is a good choice for that type of a coaster just yet.



Yep, and that I would imagine they would want to go with someone that has been well tested for disney and has been used in multiple other parks in the company.

Just now catching up on this thread. Because, well, I dont care that much
But wanted to answer this for you @Alexshow
7DMT was built by Vekoma.

 

[Cheezbat]

That ride would need a lot of plussing to be worth it.

This replacing Primeval Whirl is easily worth it.

Still, I'd rather see more dark rides in DAK and Indy stuff in DHS.

Ditto.

Wasn’t there a vertical launch patent a while ago that was rumored to be for Iron Man, or is my memory totally failing me?

Also, if the flying coaster rumor holds true, I’d worry more about capacity than restrictive restraints. The B&M flying coaster at my home park doesn’t seem to turn people away, but its hourly output is one of the worst in the parks. Manta is a much newer model, so Idk how that one fairs in comparison.

Have you actually ridden it? Sure the theming is ok for a coaster (from the outside) but as an actual ride :ack:

I would say Primeval is more grin-inducing and Indy is grimace-inducing. It's as interesting as the local Pinfaris at the seaside.

Theme up a Maurer spinner or something if you want a compact "family" coaster

The patent was by Universal, most likely not for this.

Having seen the plans it looks to be a sizable ride track. This will be very much like RnR in that there will be a connecting tunnel (actually it looks like more of a bridge) between the existing UoE building and the show building. I say bridge because it looks like the service road will still run where it does now behind UoE. There appears to be ride track in both buildings with straight sections running parallel (out and back) between them. The exterior of the show building will look a lot like the exterior of the GotG building in DCA.

Does sizeable mean over two minutes long? Can you say how many launches there are?

 

[Nick]

Walls up around the water feature and attraction marquee out front.

 

[Disneyhead]

The long build time could be due to the tech they want to use still being in the R&D phase. And not related to problematic land issues.

Martin has said that it was originally planned to open before Ratatouille and it got skipped because of some hiccups in the design phase, so definitely design related issues.

But also, they just don't need it. They have TSL in 2018, SWL, MK Theater and Mickey in 2019, Rat in 2020 and then TRON and GotG in 2021. From Disney's perspective, they have stuff opening every year, no need to rush this.

Oh, so rat is 100% coming to Orlando...until it isn’t... I don’t trust Disney until I see earth moving equipment.
