Guardians of the Galaxy to Replace Ellen's Energy Adventure?

Earlier I posted about my three least favorite rides. Ellen's Energy Adventure was on that list. I mentioned that I would love for it to be revamped or replaces with something more current. Little did I know...there is a rumor out right now about a possible Guardians of the Galaxy ride taking over Ellen's spot in the future. With the now confirmed news of it taking over DCA's Tower of Terror...I could really see this happening! I personally have always thought that Walt Disney World's tower would be safe from any closures as it is just so iconic to Hollywood Studios.

So in honor of this rumor...here are my top three reasons why I support this rumor/idea.

 It is current and relevant

Guardians is a hit right now, especially with it's upcoming sequel coming out. I love Ellen as a person, but the ride falls flat to current times. The video quality itself is outdated. I almost feel as I have stepped into a time machine into the 90's let alone into the prehistoric ages. The jokes just don't do it for me anymore either. To be quite frank, it's a little boring and I usually skip it for that reason. Now, Guardians would pull in a lot of people and with that giant space...Disney could whip up something brand new and great. Something that today's people are passionate about and interested in.

It goes along with Epcot's theme

Ellen's Energy Adventure is located in the Futureworld portion of Epcot. First off, it never made sense to me why they had such an outdated ride in a park that is dedicated to the future. I feel like they have to keep to it's theme...the future. I feel like Guardian's is a great fit for future world. What is more futuristic than space travel and aliens? With mission space at Epcot...it would fit right in! 

It will be great for Epcot

Epcot is my favorite park, but I do feel like it needs more big name rides. Soarin' is highly popular and test track is up there too. With the release of Frozen Ever After, their rides are really becoming popular.  If they had just one more really good ride, I would be over the moon. I love Epcot and would love to have just a few more quality rides to hop on away from the heat! Overall, it will clean up Epcot a bit and make it feel more current....or dare I say, futuristic? You may be able to sense that I think Epcot has some very outdated elements to it. Speaking more along the lines of Futureworld and not World Showcase. With nearly every other park going through expansions, I want to see Epcot thrive and keep up with the other parks by changing it up and staying relevant. 

Well, that was my quick little post. I really am looking forward to hearing if this rumor is true.
