Disney Imagineer, Zach Riddley, has had quite the track record of offering special looks at some of Disney World’s biggest works-in-progress. Riddley’s most recent Instagram post gives readers their first look at some of the details inside the loading station for EPCOT’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
Let’s take a look at the photos and what Riddley had to say:
Recently we revealed our first-look at the bold and colorful design for our load station at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind – coming to EPCOT this summer.
“One of the ways that we help tell the story is by infusing details into all the various functional items that make up an attraction and this one is no different. And I’m excited to show some close-up photos of these details.
“Angular designs, striking use of colors, and materials all help tell the story of a Nova Corps facility. The railings, station gates and floor markings (yes, the floor is pretty cool too 😊) are all used to convey the experience in ways that might not be as obvious or apparent, but every detail is a choice that supports our story. And much of Nova Corps designs are inspired by their star symbol and that symbol makes several appearances in the space in striking illuminated graphics.
“Seen in these new close-up images of our station gates have a weight and scale to them to help convey the industrial nature of the area. Handrails made from stainless steel give a sturdy and durable feel and show the precision craftsmanship of the Nova Corps.
“An attraction of this scale includes many thousands of design details that work together to create mood, place and action – and these are just a few of the many you’ll see here. Thank you to everyone working hard to put our finishing touches on this experience – inside and out.”
Are you excited to see the progress that has been made on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind?
