Epcot's Guardians of the Galaxy coaster has installed its first coaster track at the end of the launch tunnel.
Ratatouille Ride is now officially named.
Just moments ago at the 2018 IAAPA Expo in Orlando Bob Chapek revealed the design of the ride vehicle of the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy attraction at Epcot which he referred to as Disney’s first “storytelling coaster.” From what I recall he specifically said the ride would be opening in 2021 as opposed to by 2021.
In addition Bob announced that the Disney Skyliner transportation system would be opening in Fall 2019.
Here is an update construction tour of the Guardians of the Galaxy coaster going into Walt Disney World's Epcot.

the wall is painted “go away green”, a popular color at Disney Parks meant to be as unobtrusive as possible. At this point, it looks like we can expect a big green box looming over the Epcot parking lot for decades to come.
Also visible from the parking lot is the launch and return tunnel that connects the newly constructed gravity building and the backside of the gutted Universe of Energy structure.
Here is the latest update on the Guardians coaster. More steel has went up on the main coaster building and the connector structure has most of its steel in place. The old Universe of Energy buildings continues to be gutted and turned into a shell.
