Here’s a look at the NovaCorp Starship installation at Epcot!

I can’t wait to ride this! The vehicles look awesome and can almost guarantee it will have an awesome soundtrack. So far what we know is this:
- Proposed Memorial Day Weekend opening
- Heigh requirement is 42″
- For reference here are a few other coaster height requirements:
- 7 Dwarfs/Smuggler’s Run 38″
- Space Mtn./Everest 44″
- Splash Mtn./Big Thunder/Mission Space/Test Track 40″
- Rock N’ Roller 48″
- For reference here are a few other coaster height requirements:
Questions I have… will Passholders get a preview? Will there be a virtual queue like when Rise of the Resistance was new?
UPDATE 4/4/22: We will finally get to see the โWonders of Xandar exhibit beginning May 27th! The new commercial debuts today and here is what Disney Parks says you see:
- โSomeone shouts, โThis is an SOS from Nova Corps โฆ Our outpost on Earthโs EPCOT is in danger!โ The Nova Corps is Xandarโs peacekeeping team serving as protectors of their planet and the broader Andromeda Galaxy, which is where Xandar is located. This must be a Nova Corps officer alerting us to an urgent situation.
- Clearly the Xandarians have come to EPCOT to oversee the Wonders of Xandar pavilion. I can tell because Spaceship Earth is visible outside the window, gleaming in all its glory. Oh, and because it says โEPCOT โ Walt Disney World Resortโ right there on the screen (nothing gets by me, I tell ya). But something is amiss because โฆ
- Someone who appears to be a Nova Corps soldier shouts out, โEverything is disappearing!โ And, yep, we see things โ people, clouds, you name it โ literally zipping backward out of existence.Rewinding, perhaps? Hmm โฆ
- The officer is holding up a viewscreen communicator, and then we flash to the other end of that line โฆ to the familiar confines of an M-Ship cockpit, where Peter Quill, a.k.a. Star-Lord, and a few of our other favorite Guardians of the Galaxy are relaxing between missions.
- Rocket is absorbed in apparently trying to โfixโ Quillโs Awesome Mix tape. Thankfully, Groot is at least paying some passing attention to whatโs happening on the screen in front of them and unmutes the volume โ just in time to hear a distress call โฆ
- โHelp the galaxy โ before itโs too late!โ the officer urges โ and then she, too, disappears โฆ along with Spaceship Earth! Now we have Rocketโs attention, too, even if Star-Lord is peacefully snoozing away. (Heโs been asleep this whole time? Typical.)
- Always considering himself the captain of the ship anyway, Rocket promptly takes the controls and decides to blast off for EPCOT. Because, as he says, โItโs save the galaxy time โ again.โ
- This is where weโll come in, I think. As Rocket fires up the ship, we see other people zooming around the screen in Starjumpers, a type of Xandarian spacecraft. And just as the clip ends, Rocket takes the M-Ship into a jump point โ the technology that allows Xandarians to travel vast distances of space in mere moments. And thatโs it!โ
What do you think? Are you excited? Stay tuned, we will keep adding updates to this article as we find out more information!
