Hope the “no animatronics” rumor is not true. There’s no projection effect I’ve seen so far that’s as realistic a substitute as a fully built animatronic. Until full-blown holograms become feasible, animatronics will be the best.
How could disney possibly miss the opportunity to have a cute talking raccoon animatronic entertain guest in line. It would be sure to increase the sales of $50 stuffed raccoons 10,000% as guests are dumped into the gift shop after the ride. Saving money with a projection would be a massive example of false economy especially when they already have one engineered in CA they simply need to program for this purpose. th-cam.com/video/DTUdgJVkq_Q/w-d-xo.html
@@ricardoreyna5395 Rise employs BOTH animatronics and projections in its preshows so that is a good mix. I think they nailed it in terms of the ratio of screens to live set pieces on that ride overall for sure. Hope they use that as a model for other rides in the future.
I dont think this is a bad thing on this particular ride. The space theme should fit well with screens. And there are rumours of animatronics being used in the pre show. The attraction is going to be incredible. Let's not get too greedy
@@faded_vybz5617 It is for most attractions I agree. However for certain IP's screens definitely do lend themselves well. I'd wait till you see the final product. I think it will blow you away.
This is so sad. Disney is chasing Universal instead of being cutting edge. This ride is just like Gringotts ride and Rattituei is just like Spider-Man. So so sad!!!
The ride system is a bit different from Gringotts--the Gringotts cars can only rotate when they're in a relatively slow-moving section, because they don't have onboard energy storage and need to have good contact with a power source. The result is that Gringotts is mostly a slow dark ride with some coaster elements at the beginning. These have onboard capacitors that let them rotate at speed, for what it's worth. it's the next generation of the same kind of thing.
@@MattMcIrvin Thank for the detail difference. My main point being is Disney is chasing Universal instead of leading. Universal is using animatronics more and Disney less. Such a shame
I don't have any sense of excitement for this attraction. If it's anything like the recent attractions to Disney parks, I suspect it'll be at best, mediocre. It also continues to annoy me that Disney announced this as a new and innovative ride system. It's quite literally Vekoma's version of the Gringotts ride system, and for Disney to market it as something unique to their parks is condescending.
When they said there was no animatronics at all, my sense of excitement just went to a screeching halt. It is going to be another click bait Marvel attraction.
yeah i agree lack of animatronics is disheartening. hopefully that isnt true. loterally every new coaster says its the first of its kind lol. cheetah hunt having three launches is a first of its kind, launching backwards first of its kind, a ride that slowly moves in a different way. first of its kind! they all announce there rides like this not just disney
That's literally what I've been thinking! But even Gringotts, in all it's screen based mediocrity, & ball-crushing restraints; at least gives you animatronics & (actually pretty amazing) theming in the pre-show area! Whereas this looks to be even *more* disappointing somehow....Disney has one-upped themselves once again! (seriously after the billion dollar Galaxy's Edge & ROTR, the execs must've slashed the budget for new rides or something)
@@genericnoone9610 Galaxy's Edge was so exorbitantly expensive and it doesn't even feel like the money is there. I imagine that the fluid Kylo Ren animatronics must have been ridiculously expensive, and that money could have been better spent populating the other scenes with real and practical effects and animatronics with a lower level of animation.
@@tulinfirenze1990 We're talking about 1600-1700 meters. That's as long as some giant hypercoasters. It's only a little shorter than Incredicoaster at California Adventure. And since it's likely to be slower than hypercoasters, that makes for a long ride experience. I'm thinking there have to be a lot of block brakes in here (like Space Mountain) if the thing is going to have the capacity to handle Disney crowds. (edited to correct brain fart about where Incredicoaster is)
I was expecting it too be built by Mack rides but when you said vekoma you surprised me and now I’m even more excited because of how good the new vekoma coasters look
Personally, them replacing Ellen's energy ride is heart breaking to me because I have a special childhood memory of going on that ride and being absolutely stunned by the amazing ride and the way it transitions into the land of the dinosaurs
Really interesting video Alicia! 😀 5:22 Aha, that's good to know. 👍 I must admit, when I first saw that photo I was kind of disappointed, as to me it looked like it was showing half of the indoor space.
I’m sure that Guardians of the Galaxy would interesting for Marvel fans, but this attraction has one major flaw, location. Guardians of the Galaxy doesn’t belong in EPCOT. Plus, the show building that will feature the roller coaster is slightly shorter than Spaceship Earth which means you can see it at every angle making it an eyesore like the Harmonious barges.
I thought we had to wait, since they wanted to shoot the show scenes of that ride, during the same time when filming of guardians of the Galaxy new movie Vol. 3 will start in November...( due to the pandemic filmimg got delayed, and so did the ride, unfortunately ..?! Or has that been filmed by now? :-o )
I mentioned that in the article version of this story, but yes, it seems filming this fall may be the last thing to do for the attraction after the queue areas and entrance are complete. I think that’s part of why it’ll be opening in 2022.
I hope since it’s called cosmic “rewind” that maybe the storyline will involve going back in time in some way and include dinosaurs as a nod to the Ellen ride lol!
Quickly becoming one of my top channels. Love that your information is backed up by research and not all just crazy theories. LOVE any Universal content too. Can't wait for more
RCDB lists it as the 14th longest coaster in the world, not counting alpine coasters (really a different category of ride) or demolished rides. (13th if we don't count the non-operating Ultimate at Lightwater Valley, but under the circumstances I'm not ready to call that a defunct ride yet.) The longest coaster I've ever personally ridden is Superman at Six Flags New England, a ride that looks absolutely colossal. This thing will be slightly longer than Superman. It will be shorter than Incredicoaster/California Screamin' but only by a few hundred feet.
The record of the longest indoor roller coaster is already held by Vekoma with the "crazy Bats" formerly "Temple of the Night Hawk" formerly "Space Center" roller coaster at Phantasialand in Germany. Many fans of the park think that the coaster is still standing only because it is so far the longest in the world and it runs quite smoothly all thought the coaster is old. Many wondered why a third re-theming took place a few years ago. People were really waiting for it to be torn down. But since the world record was still there and the ride is fun (only the theming was very bad on Temple of the Night Hawk), it was probably never razed to the ground. So when Cosmic Rewind opens, the record goes to Florida and Disney after 34 years. Alicia I love your content!!! 🤩🌈😍
I think you are right! Though it's not a spinning coaster in the traditional sense, since the cars are not free-spinning, but rotate under ride control as on Escape from Gringotts.
im from Belgium and I planned to go mid april 2022. Can’t wait but I think Cosmic Rewind won’t be open then… so sad. it was THE attraction I was hoping to ride
@@joppe98 lol one can hope really hard. Both are coming along. Both have the insides completed and working on the outsides. But knowing our luck it will open not long after we leave. It's what happened with pandora, it opened a month after we left. Smh
@@troubleblue452 yeah the thing is im from Belgium so it will likely be a once in a lifetime experience. I don’t want to go 1 time in my life and leave without riding Tron & Cosmic Rewind.
The car design and mechanics is truly one of biggest breakthroughs, especially when mixed with Disney storytelling, it opens the doors to how they can design track layouts and set pieces.
@@MAGman159 Gringotts doesn’t really change the direction you’re looking at while you’re moving. The direction switches happen mostly stationary or at very small movements
@@AppleGaming4Real um yes it does. There’s entire sections between the 3 main screen portions after the drop and before the Voldemort reveal where you’re moving and the vehicle turns to different directions. The ride even does an entire 360 spin in the final coaster section.
I really hate that they're doing this. Epcot is supposed to have educational attractions. I miss Innovations something fierce, and I loved Future World. I just hope they keep Journey to Imagination.
another great, informative video! i’ll admit that i was hoping for something more thrilling (or at least just as thrilling) as aerosmith but alas… i’m sure it’ll still be a ton of fun! i also hope disney will give us a tron update soon!!
Same here! I think because of lack of updates people forgot about especially now that VelociCoaster is opened but once Disney starts talking about it again people should start hyping it more again
Disney takes sooooooo long to build rides, even pre pandemic. It is worth the wait, but they are soooo cheap with labour amounts considering how much money the parks bring in. But I guess when millions of guests keep turning up every year no matter what, and the number 1 compliant is crowds, I can see why they don’t need to rush them. Great video as always, and I pray this is open in May when I go 🇬🇧

Researching this question I looked up the Space Mountains and learned the odd fact that the Paris Space Mountain is the *shortest* one.
As an coaster enthusiasts, this is one of my top coasters I'm looking forward too
The turning ride cars are sure to be mind bending as your brain attempts to make sense of the physics of it all.
Im pretty sure I read from Martin Smith the preshow would have animatronics
Hope so! If they managed to do the Rocket animatronic for the Guardians ride in California, I can't imagine why they can't here.

So basically we got a gringotts at Disney they kill me
It's an extremely smoothe ride although anyone prone to seizures because of light flashing will have to skip.
I hope since it’s called cosmic “rewind” that maybe the storyline will involve going back in time in some way and include dinosaurs as a nod to the Ellen ride lol!
Imagine if in a portion of the ride it goes through the Ellen ride and their like “wait a sec this isn’t right” and go back to the new ride
What will be happening throug the entire ride? Darkness? Screens? VR? Bunch of lights? Please let me know if there is any info on that!
I promise you this would be open right now if it weren't for reasons we don't like to talk about anymore.

Hope this isn’t a major flop.

Definitely agree! Looking at the track doesn’t begin to tell us how it will actually feel with the controlled rotations.
