According to Disney Imagineer Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is All About the Hexagons
We are mere weeks away from the official opening of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind which launches at EPCOT on May 27, 2022! Disney has been holding a soft-opening for the attraction for a few weeks now with DVC Members, Passholders, Cast Members, and Media being treated to a sneak peek for the the attraction which by all accounts looks amazing! We absolutely love soaking up all the details about this awesome new attraction which is why a recent post by Imagineer Zach Riddley caught our attention.
Riddley’s social media account is a treasure trove of awesome Disney details and we recommend that you follow along with him here.
In his most recent post, he gives us a geometry lesson, cluing us into the important role that hexagons play in the overall Guardians design element.
So why hexagons? As Riddley explains, in the Guardians world, “jump points” appear as a hexagonal grid. Imagineers decided to expand on this theme incorporating hexabons through the entire attraction. This was done to further the storytelling and “establish a cohesive identity,” said Riddley.
As the storyline for the attraction goes, Xandarians are visiting Terra (Earth) to share the Comic Generator, which serves as the source of the jump point technology. Key to this technology is the way the Xandarians have included the geometric shape of the hexagon into their design for the Wonders of Xandar pavilion.
When you get a chance to experience Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT be on the lookout for hexagons outside the pavilion, throughout the Xandar Gallery and more as you step into the newest showcase pavilion.
