Guardians of the Galaxy at Epcot Will Be One of World's Longest Enclosed Coasters
 

Disney has revealed at the D23 expo in Japan that the new attraction 'Guardians of the Galaxy' coming to Walt Disney World's EPCOT will be one of the longest enclosed coasters in the world.

"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," Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts, said."

Loving the sound of that. Hope it’s there in time for next May.

Unlikely to be completed before 2020 I reckon.

Blog says 2021 unfortunately

2021 for 50th anniversary same as the tron coaster in the magic kingdom

Oh well. I see a new countdown on the horizon.

What I don't understand why they had to close down UOE last year. They could have built the coaster and its building 1st then closed down the UOE to build the queue line.
