New Guardians ride in Epcot question

[PALionKingfan]

I am a huge fan of Disney parks as we all are and appreciate the nostalgia of rides but I am alright with this change. Ellen's Energy Adventure was good but clearly dated. I know it is early and they just announced it but did they say what type of ride this will be? I did not read anything other than Ellen's is being replaced by Guardians of the Galaxy but I did not read what the ride will be like.

Didn't say. Rumored to be some type of coaster

 

[The Foolish Mortal]

I asked the same question in another thread and the consensus speculation is a dark ride or coaster

Well, could be tower of Terror like it is here....NOT IMPRESSED!

Agree with above BUT that building is low, even at the highest point in back. I don't see how a coaster will work with them keeping the old building. I believe the coaster rumor that was started was on the assumption of a new building. There were height balloons for that area. But clearly from rendering they are going to salvage the old building. Possibly .... if they were to do something like UO Mummy .... but also possible they will just do a ride similar to the one going in Star Wars land or say like Spiderman at IOA.

From what I've heard, most of the existing building will be an indoor Que and will not house the ride. The actual ride would be mainly in a new building.

The new building will be behind the current building.I have no issue with Ellen going away and very glad they're not messing with ToT,like they did in Disneyland.ToT is clearly the best attraction in all of WDW.I'm hoping its some sort of dark ride/coaster hybrid like Gringotts at Universal.
