Epcot’s Guardians coaster to feature “Thanos queue”

It's like a single-rider line, but with only a 50% chance you'll get to ride. WALT DISNEY WORLD, FL -- Excitement continues to build around the new, completely-park-appropriate "Guardians of the Galaxy" roller coaster currently being built at EPCOT. The coaster, slated to be finished in 2038, has Marvel fans rejoicing (and Epcot Center purists in anguish). New details are emerging about the ride as construction progresses. The attraction will feature the usual Standby and Fastpass+ queues, but instead of a single-rider line, ...
