Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Blasts Into EPCOT at Walt Disney World in May

“This is an SOS from Nova Corps … Our outpost on Earth’s EPCOT is in danger!”

And yes we’ve been rewatching this ad for any hints of what to expect. We love the tone of it, and the clever PG body horror of what it looks like when time splits you apart is particularly delightful. Hopefully that won’t actually happen to us on the ride, which is being touted as “family-friendly”—and hopefully it’s somewhat tamer than the tower dropping on Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout, which I (a Guardians fan) rode twice in order to watch its fun scenes, though in between I was feeling like I was dying. (What we do for our fandoms, eh?)

With this new glimpse of the coaster now out in the world, producer Wes Lagatolla tweeted out some behind-the-scenes details.

While we anticipate a new curated “Awesome Mix” for this ride, since one was created for Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout at Disney California Adventure, we also wonder if Rocket fixes the tape featured in the ad to play some familiar tunes. Hopefully James Gunn tweets out some fun details soon.

Till then we are keeping an eye out for Easter eggs. Here are some that not only include nods to Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy films but also pay homage to Walt Disney World and the very building the new attraction is housed in:

As Gunn confirmed last year on Twitter, he and Marvel Studios worked on footage for the ride last fall as production geared up for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which will be released in 2023, and the Holiday Special (set to drop this winter on Disney+).
