Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will be one of the longest indoor roller coasters ever built… and it’s coming to Walt Disney World as part of the huge transformation happening in EPCOT!

Located in Future World, the attraction will feature the first-ever “reverse launch into space” aboard the ride vehicles with 360-degree movement. An OmniCoaster ride system will draw guests’ attention to Cosmic Rewind’s story with specialized movements.

Guests will first enter the “galaxarium,” where they will board a Nova ship to see the earth from space. However, when Star-Lord, Rocket, and the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy get involved, things kinda get funky (cue Awesome Mix Vol. 1 and 2). With plenty of twists and turns, Cosmic Rewind will send guests on a high-speed journey throughout the galaxy.

In November 2020, Imagineer Zach Riddley posted a photo on his Instagram (@thezachriddley) giving us all a HUGE sneak peek at the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind vehicles!
