Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Ride Vehicle

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Epcot’s first family-friendly “storytelling coaster” that will feature a groundbreaking ride system with vehicles that rotate 360 degrees and can even do a reverse launch, is being built in the old Universe of Energy Pavilion in Future World soon to be World Discovery.

As you can see in the video – provided by Walt Disney Imagineering – each individual cab in the attraction’s Omni-coaster ride system will direct your eyes to the story happening around you. Instead of whizzing by the action, the system will fully immerse you in the attraction’s story the minute you take off.

At Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind the adventure will start in the “Galaxarium,” a planetarium-like exhibition that explores the similarities and mysteries of the formation of Earth’s galaxy and Xandar. You’ll be invited to learn more about Xandar’s treasures – until the moment when the Guardians of the Galaxy arrive, and adventures across the cosmos ensue. 

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will open in time for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort in 2021.
