EPCOT has undergone some major renovations in recent years and one of the top additions is the Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind ride! If you are a fan of roller coasters and don’t mind spinning, this is going to be the ride for you!
Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind
Located in the park’s new World Discovery neighborhood, Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind will be found in the Wonders of Xandar Pavilion.
Wonders of Xandar Pavilion
In the Wonders of Xandar pavilion, guests can learn about the Xandarians.
The back story is that Xandarairan traveled from their homeworld in the Andromeda galaxy to Earth (they refer to it as Terra) to build the Wonders of Xandar pavilion.
In The Galaxarium, which is similar to a Planetarium, you can see planets, stars and other intergalactic wonders that connect Terra and Xandar.
The Xandar Gallery teaches guests about the Xandarian people, culture and history. Displays featuring the heroes of Xandar is the main focal point.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Ride
As the first rollercoaster at EPCOT, Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind is pretty spectacular.
First, this rollercoaster is an enclosed coaster. It is in the old Ellen’s Energy Adventure building which is close to Spaceship Earth.
This is great for Disney World guests because it means is air-conditioned and won’t shut down when the afternoon rain hits in Orlando.
The Disney World roller coaster is the first reverse launch for a Disney coaster. That is pretty incredible! Now, you can understand why it is named, Cosmic Rewind!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is also one of the longest fully enclosed coasters in the world, which means that you will get to enjoy a long ride time after all that time you spend in a line.
Be prepared for a lot of spinning while you circle through the track. This is not a ride for anyone who suffers from motion sickness!
Guardians of the Galaxy is also known for its mixed tape! You better believe you will be hearing plenty of vintage tunes with Rollercoaster of Love being a predominate feature!
If you want to ride Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind you will need to stand in a really long line OR purchase the individual Lightning Lane entrance. This ride is not available for Genie+ customers.
