Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is a roller coaster under construction at Epcot at Walt Disney World.[1][2][3][4] The ride will be manufactured by Vekoma.[5] Based on the Marvel Studios film Guardians of the Galaxy, the attraction will be the first at Walt Disney World to feature characters from the Marvel Universe.[6][7]
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will replace the Universe of Energy pavilion, which closed on August 13, 2017.[3]
History[]
The ride was announced as part of an overall overhaul of Epcot at the 2017 D23 Expo.[2] On August 13, 2017, Ellen's Energy Adventure was closed so that construction could begin on the attraction.[8] At D23 Japan in 2018, it was confirmed that the ride would be one of the world's longest enclosed roller coasters and that the ride would open during Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary, which indicated an opening during late 2021 or 2022.
The name of the ride, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, was announced on August 25, 2019 at the D23 Expo 2019.[9]
Construction[]
Construction began in late August 2017. The existing Universe of Energy show building was to be reused and retrofitted for the new attraction; the roller coaster itself would be housed in a new, massive show building situated backstage behind the Universe of Energy building and the PLAY! pavilion.[10][11] On May 4, 2018, the Disney Parks Blog released a video stating that 960 truckloads of concrete had been poured for the foundation of the new show building.[1]
