It leaves me wondering what this experience was supposed to be if we really were visiting a Xandarian pavilion in EPCOT and Eson never showed up. Almost like the ride and the queue were designed separately from eachother and they needed to come up with something last minute to tie it altogether. I think what really kills the immersion for me is the whole Eson story element because the way it's set up makes it feel completely detached from the rest of the experience. It almost feels like there's missing elements. I personally enjoy the preshows in their current form, but I was a little disappointed my first time going through them. They seem to be some part of the official Xandar defense force? It makes even less sense if you’ve seen the films! This ride doesn’t payoff ANY of the plot threads it sets up.Īnd the rides conclusion - we’re all Guardians now - is that good? In the overlong pre-show, the Guardians are introduced, with no fanfare or explanation, about 2/3 of the way through. Viewers know that plot will be picked up sometime, somewhere. One thing the MCU does is almost always payoff the plots it sets up, even if the set up is just an unmentioned character in the background of a shot.
But this is a bad representation of the MCU. I love it so much I will overlook a lot of faults.

Introduce the Guardians in person? Nah, put them on TV screens. Use beloved comedy star John C Reilly? Nah, let’s go with Glenn Close. Instead, focus on the culture the film intentionally made boring, uptight, and bland to contrast with the fun, freewheeling Guardians. Focus on the Guardians? Nah, they show up really late. The spinning gets a witty narrative purpose!īasically, whenever possible this attraction makes the more boring choice.
The first ride scene is a homage/ gentle parody of classic EPCOT attractions, and then Rocket takes control and launches you through a portal to the REAL Big Bang. I love the idea of the Guardians highjacking a classic Omnimover ride. The people who don't do coasters, but do theme parks, are likely the people going to Epcot regardless. Guardians is likely to attract a group of travelers unlikely to go to Epcot. With the current demand for the parks, getting a reservation isn't as simple as seeing a cool ride, booking tickets, and enjoying. In the age of Park Pass Reservations, it's harder to book a trip as soon as you want. Passholders master the system and ride dozens of times in a short period Lower total number of Annual Passholders (greatly affects Epcot). For Rise, our whole party of 9 rode it, even though half of it consisted of people who would never ride a rollercoaster In my current party, only two of us will ride Guardians. She loved it so much that she did it on a subsequent day.

Rollercoaster (HUGE) in January 2020, I got my 78 year-old-grandma to wake up at the crack of dawn to ride rise. On my trip in a couple of weeks, my dad opted out of riding due to motion-sickness fears. That doesn't translate to a social media world. I've heard many reviews saying the best part is the feeling of the ride.
Rise has more "Instagramable moments" whereas Guardians lacks the "Wow" moments that draws attention to Rise. Rise opened months after Galaxy's Edge, effectively acting as a hype train Rise opened in December 2019, a peak travel time before the reservation system, so people saw the craziness and felt compelled to see what it was about
