The Guardians of the Galaxy ride is making progress inside Disney World’s Epcot park.
The Orlando Business Journal reports a permit filed by Disney with Orange County lists the work as 'fabrication and installation of show set elements.'
As they write, “the permit expires on December 31, 2020 but that doesn’t mean that’s the attractions’ opening date. However, it fits with what can be seen of the ongoing construction of that attraction.”
The work is described as an installation of props for the ride, queue and other scenic portions of the attraction.
Here’s what the OBJ reports Disney had to say on the upcoming thrill ride:
With the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' -inspired coaster, we're going big. This one-of-a-kind family attraction will be one of the world's longest enclosed roller coasters when it's added to Future World at Epcot. It'll feature a unique story currently being created by Walt Disney Imagineering and include a new innovative ride system that's guaranteed to 'wow' guests. The 'Guardians of the Galaxy' -inspired coaster is part of our ongoing work to transform Epcot into a place that's more family, more relevant, more timeless and more Disney. 'As we build upon its core mission of optimism and hope to inspire the world, the real will become fantastic and the fantastic will become real - in whole new ways at Epcot,' said Bob Chapek, Disney's chairman of parks, experiences and products.
The ride is rumored to put guests into a spacecraft and right into an adventure with the Marvel superheros.
