It’s not even the 50th Anniversary yet, but we’ve had SO much news coming out of Disney World this week!

We got an opening date for the Star Wars Hotel. We got a first look at the new Grand Floridian Vacation Club Rooms. We even learned about some new high-tech MagicBands that are coming soon. And we got an opening timeline of 2022 for EPCOT’s next attraction, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, along with some new details! Well, the news just keeps on coming, and we’ve got a first look at the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride vehicles.
Yes, we’ve seen photos of the vehicles by Disney, but we recently got to attend a media event where we got to get up close to one of the vehicles, and we’re sharing photos with you!
As you can see, each ride vehicle can seat up to four people.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Ride Vehicle
The ride is an omnicoaster, which means that this vehicle will spin 360 degrees on the track — while traveling at high speeds. Fun! However, Disney did reiterate that it’s a family-friendly ride, so the young ‘uns should be able to enjoy it, too!

Inside the vehicles are safety bars that pull down for each guest. Speakers are also inset into each row between guests.

The story (because there’s ALWAYS a story) is that the planet of Xandar has brought the first intergalactic world pavilion to EPCOT (okay, that’s pretty cool, right?). But the ride takes you flying through space with the Guardians, and we’re sure there will be lots of unexpected events!

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to go INSIDE the ride to see the construction progress for ourselves. And things are really coming along. And we can’t wait to ride it next year. We’ll keep following all the news about the new coaster and keep you updated!

We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney World to attend their 50th anniversary media preview. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably. You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy.

Those look comfortable. Why couldn’t they make some of the Flight of Passage and Tron Lightcycles seating like that or at least adapt them to people of size? There shouldn’t have to be YouTube videos telling people of size what rides they can ride.
How are these looking for people with long/ thick legs? My son had given up on 7D because it’s too painful to be fun.
Agree with Lois!
I was wondering, as well, how the bars are on the legs compared to 7 Dwarves. I don’t ride that one because it’s uncomfortable, but was hoping this one wouldn’t be that kind of an issue.
