Very disappointed in the direction Disney is taking it's parks. Character rides should be in the Studios. EPCOT should continue to be dedicated to technology and the future. Universal is kicking Disney's tail when it comes to rides. The Harry Potter experience is just awesome - Disney just isn't keeping up!

Disney will be cheapening Epcot by taking away the science. But if you must, don't mess with SSE. Or, at least change it back to the superior Jeremy Irons version. Some of us enjoy science and history. What other major theme park in the county provides this as extensively as Epcot? The park doesn't need a coaster or a drop tower. But it can always use more history, more science, more future hope, more culture!

The park is in dire need of more attractions. There's a reason lines are getting longer, nothing to look at in the Innovations buildings (Communicores had all kinds of exhibits), Wonders of Life closed, Horizons replaced with Mission Space that can't handle near the same passengers per hour, Test Track while awesome can't keep up with World of Motion for passengers per hour, the list goes on. Moving away from technology and the future is the wrong direction. There's a reason it's not cool to wear a Mickey Mouse tie or have a Disney Polo Shirt in the office any more. EPCOT was the key to bringing together the older demographic. Replacing rides with cheap themed garbage to make a buck will be their downfall. Sure it'll be fun once or twice, bUT I miss the old rides I could go on time and again and never get tired of.

I might be ok with it, if they keep the attraction focused about energy, but if it's general action ride, I say go out there and protest against it!
Epcot was suppose to be teaching people stuff, and connecting them with the rest of the world, but now they're trying to change it into a generic money-making park! That's not right and spitting on Walt's grave!

Thank god they're not touching TOT. I doubt hey would ever touch it anyways, it's one of the most popular in all of WDW, and They'd never mess with that. and Epcot is the one that needs much of an update. Hoping inside out attraction can come too

Wouldn't a guardians of the galaxy ride eventually brake the contract between Disney and universal when the guardians of the Galaxy join the avengers in infinity gauntlet? I'm hoping that it does because if not this attraction will be the final blow for a park that is already dying because of neglect and mixed themes.

Why would Disney kill a ride that is still in use when they could just put it where the old closed and decaying Wonders of Life pavilion is

I'm good with adding IP to EPCOT. But, if Gardians is going into California at Tower of Terror why not do the same in Florida? They can and should replace Universe of Energy but they have so many possibilities. How about an Inside Out?. Maybe Big Hero 6 or The Incredibles or Tron or Wreck It Ralph. All would seem to fit.

This saddens me. Epcot was wonderful, and has suffered from neglect, and now is being killed

Personally I will be very sad to see the Universe of Energy go. That was my favorite ride as a child in the 80's. I mean it has real dinosaurs in it what's not to love! But objectively it is extremely dated and doesn't see many visitors these days. It will be very interesting to see how Disney execs handle Epcot. It seems like they are pretty willing to throw away the mission statement of Epcot in exchange for bringing in IPs into the park. Not sure how I feel about this. On one hand it is the possibility of new and exciting experiences into this park. On the other hand it cheapens what Epcot is about. To me the best overlay was Finding Nemo as they expertly injected an IP into an existing attraction and were still able to keep the educational aspect of it intact.
