Disney4me Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 There are some big changes coming to Epcot. For instance, we just checked in on the Ratatouille ride and Skyliner Station construction in the park. But another highly anticipated addition is the Guardians of the Galaxy Ride.

We’ve been monitoring the progress of the transformation of the Universe of Energy building — especially since it’s conveniently located on the way to the Food and Wine Festival Center . They have removed all the solar panels, and you can see through the Universe of Energy building as they transform this space. Universe of Energy/Guardians of the Galaxy Construction For perspective, this is what the building looked like two weeks ago! There is a lot deconstruction before the actual construction! Guardians of the Galaxy Ride The building that will house the ride itself is going up to the right of the Universe of Energy building. Guardians of the Galaxy Ride This is really going to dominate the skyline in this area — and from World Showcase. Here’s a picture we shared a few weeks ago taken from the Japan Pavilion where you can clearly see the Guardians of Galaxy ride building in the skyline. (Another interesting vantage point is offered if you arrive to Epcot via the Monorail from the Ticket & Transportation Center.) Guardians of the Galaxy Ride Not much information has been released about the ride aside from the two concept images shared in this post. But we’re glad to know that Groot and the Milano will be in the area… Guardians of the Galaxy Ride Concept Art ©Disney … and that the ride is slated to open in 2021!
