I know historically (and in a few cases currently) ride sponsorship was/is very much a thing (& it makes sense with Test Track!), but there is just still something so weird about walking off of Jungle Cruise and seeing a (granted fairly well integrated) Ziploc logo. An Enterprise Car Rental PeopleMover is also weird.

I mean, it's been Alamo for a while, so just another rental car company (actually owned by the same company). I do like it though when the integration makes sense, like the Tiki Room sponsored by Dole or Autopia sponsored by Honda. Ziploc is a little out of place on the JC.

I think the PM & Enterprise sponsorship works too, with the whole transportation theme.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Attraction Will Feature Animatronics on the Ride

Kicking off with a backward launch, the fast-paced attraction will rocket riders through time and space and into the largest “show building” on the property, complete with animatronics, digital media, and the James Gunn-directed series’ signature soundtrack of pop-rock hits, all in the name of amping up the same “energy and excitement” from the films.

Is this like a rockin' roller coaster type ride?

Is this like a rockin' roller coaster type ride?

It won’t go as fast and has no inversions.

The ride vehicle itself will be able to spin/rotate as it moves along the track along with the launch sequences.

EW Quietly Removes Report of “Animatronics” Coming to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

Following a report published yesterday that revealed that the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction would have animatronics on the ride, Entertainment Weekly has quietly removed references to “animatronics” from the story.
At this point, it’s unclear if the report was inaccurate and there won’t be any animatronics on the ride, or if Disney simply wasn’t ready to reveal their existence. It’s possible that there won’t be any animatronics on the ride at all, and Disney could utilize “screen” technology to digitally add well-known characters following early filming for the attraction.
