Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind – The Ultimate EPCOT Adventure!
If you’re planning a trip to EPCOT, there’s one attraction that you absolutely cannot miss: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This innovative roller coaster is not just a ride—it’s a galactic adventure that combines thrilling technology, Marvel storytelling, and plenty of humor from your favorite Guardians crew.
Here’s everything you need to know about this one-of-a-kind experience:
A Story That’s Out of This World
Cosmic Rewind picks up with the Guardians team as they arrive to help EPCOT’s Wonders of Xandar pavilion. The Xandarians have come to share their culture and technology with Earth, but when an ancient cosmic being disrupts their plans, it’s up to Star-Lord, Rocket, Gamora, Drax, and Groot to save the day—with a little help from you, of course.
A Roller Coaster Unlike Any Other
This isn’t your average coaster—it’s Disney’s first-ever reverse launch attraction and one of the longest indoor roller coasters in the world. The ride vehicles are Omnicoasters, which rotate 360 degrees, ensuring you never miss a moment of the action. Whether you’re dodging celestial debris or chasing down the villain, the ride’s dynamic motion is perfectly synced to the storyline.
An Epic Soundtrack
What’s a Guardians adventure without an amazing mixtape? Cosmic Rewind features a random selection of classic hits, making each ride a unique experience. Songs like “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire, “Disco Inferno” by The Trammps, and “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears will have you singing along as you zoom through space.
