The Guardians of the Galaxy are on their way to EPCOT, and we better be ready for an intergalactic chase through time and space. It all begins May 27 when Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind releases its awesome mixtape of an attraction to the world. This is another big, magical moment in the transformation of EPCOT and the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebration currently underway.
The ride is based on the fact that EPCOT is hosting the Wonders of Xandar Pavilion on Earth, its first otherworld hub, when it’s hit with a time-altering threat. Check out this teaser video from Disney:
“This is an SOS from Nova Corps … Our outpost on Earth’s EPCOT is in danger!”
The moment when the “Cosmic Rewind” happens looks particularly interesting, and we’ve heard that the ride will launch backwards so interested to learn more details. A few things we know about the ride are:
Disney continues to call this a “family-friendly” attraction, the minimum height to ride is 42”
That said, this is a rollercoaster, with the cars capable or rotating 360 degrees
This attraction will be Disney’s first reverse launch coaster
Things we still are waiting to find out:
Will the ride have a virtual queue? Individual Lightning Lane available for purchase? We don’t know yet, but trust me we’ll update you as soon as we hear!
I am very excited about this new attraction! I think it will add a much needed additional thrill ride into EPCOT’s attraction list. I am excited to see what kind of Disney Easter eggs are in the ride - in the clip above if you watch closely you’ll see some vintage EPCOT items so I’m wondering if we’re going back-in-time through the park (total speculation but that would be pretty amazing).
One things is for sure, The Guardians of the Galaxy are on their way to EPCOT, and we better be ready for an intergalactic chase through time and space. It all begins May 27th when Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind releases its awesome mixtape of an attraction to the world.
