Guardians of The Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Updates

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″

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 โ€˜Wonders of Xandar exhibit beginning May 27th! The new commercial debuts today and here is what Disney Parks says you see:

  • โ€œSomeone shouts, โ€œThis is an SOS from Nova Corps โ€ฆ Our outpost on Earthโ€™s EPCOT is in danger!โ€ The Nova Corps is Xandarโ€™s 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 โ€œEPCOT โ€“ Walt Disney World Resortโ€ right there on the screen (nothing gets by me, I tell ya). But something is amiss because โ€ฆ
  • Someone who appears to be a Nova Corps soldier shouts out, โ€œEverything is disappearing!โ€ And, yep, we see things โ€“ people, clouds, you name it โ€“ literally zipping backward out of existence.Rewinding, perhaps? Hmm โ€ฆ
  • The officer is holding up a viewscreen communicator, and then we flash to the other end of that line โ€ฆ 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 โ€œfixโ€ Quillโ€™s Awesome Mix tape. Thankfully, Groot is at least paying some passing attention to whatโ€™s happening on the screen in front of them and unmutes the volume โ€“ just in time to hear a distress call โ€ฆ
  • โ€œHelp the galaxy โ€“ before itโ€™s too late!โ€ the officer urges โ€“ and then she, too, disappears โ€ฆ along with Spaceship Earth! Now we have Rocketโ€™s attention, too, even if Star-Lord is peacefully snoozing away. (Heโ€™s 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, โ€œItโ€™s save the galaxy time โ€“ again.โ€
  • This is where weโ€™ll 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 thatโ€™s 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!
