I surprisingly like it A LOT more than I thought I would! If anything had to replace ToT, I'm glad this it it. I can't wait for a similar ride at WDW (not an overlay of ToT of course he he).

Full POV for those interested:
Not going to watch the video because of spoilers, but can anyone see where in relation to the shaft the "power generator" scene is? Is it right where the open doors at or right above it?
Unfunny, meandering and chaotic. There's good intentions all over the place but none of it syncs up. The queue has good ideas and an actual terrific idea for a preshow, showing GotG bickering with each other.
But it's not funny. None of their "jokes" land. A Stan Lee cameo lands but it's Stan Lee... of course it lands. Everything he does is hilarious.
The preshow has an excellent Rocket Raccoon AA who also doesn't say anything funny. The story pointed here is a little more sensible than I thought it would be, but again: there's just not much. (Walkman effect at the end is decent as well)
Boiler room is literally the old ToT one with some new lighting and props. Gross.
Then we get to the ride. When the shadow effects are the best part of the attraction, that's embarrassing. The rest of it is just an absolute, nonsensical mess. We're constantly in motion pinging from one area to the next, lost in the chaos of this ride with no laughs to be discerned. There's zero build-up and almost no coherent story to latch onto. At least ToT had pacing and a build-up... this is just a mess. Thrill junkies will like the intensity of the attraction, but what a downgrade. They clearly had no idea what to do with this, so they thought masking it with the film's "attitude" would work.
Look, I go to see Guardians of the Galaxy for laughs and action. This provided neither. Try again.
I watched the POV along with everybody else in the thread.
Try again.
It's kind of hard to judge something by pictures or a poorly done POV video without experiencing it in person. You wrote that like you had experienced it in person so my apologies for coming to the wrong conclusion. I hate to have things spew over from the VB thread but it was stated there to not make any assumptions just based on photos or video but that one needs to experience it in person before being so negative on a project.
YES. That is AWESOME. I know it's just a fun Easter egg, but if they can incorporate that into the MCU somehow, that would be incredible.Some of you Orlando lifers may appreciate this reference. Apparently X-S Tech is now in the MCU:
I seriously love this ride and I think it looks great. I was a firm hater of this ride at the beginning but now, it looks fantastic. I think a lot of the jokes land and the screens look great. I don't know what you guys are saying about how the story isn't cohesive, cause I think it's easy to follow. Guardians are on display. Rocket breaks out. You're going on a "tour" when Rocket recruits you. You get on service elevator. They all break out. They get away. Got the hell is that hard to follow?
The music probably adds so much to the ride once your on it and music is literally Guardians of the galxy and I think it adds so much. And I won't even answers the first question you had cause Rocket explains it in the preshowIts an overly passive ride. How does sitting in an elevator help them escape and why are they thanking you at the end? The soundtrack really added nothing to the ride.

But Rocket didn't need us to be in the elevator. He just needed to the elevator to get to the top.
