EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

I have no idea if anything you just said is even remotely accurate, but I just wanted to offer you a like on your post and a good job because it sounds like you put a lot of effort into that and everyone needs a pat on the back sometimes

Everything is accuratish with math, but goes with a TON of assumptions about the ride based on hints I have heard in this thread (length, intensity, single launch). The math is actually much easier than trying to get "splits" for BTMRR.

The Beast is the longest coaster in the US at 7359 ft. Fury 325 is the longest steel coaster in the US. The records for indoor coasters are not quite as impressive though, the longest indoor is just over half the length of the longest outdoor coaster. If this was going to be the length of Everest, they would definitely be claiming it to be the longest indoor and not just one of the longest.

To be "one of the longest" indoor rollercoasters, I assume it will be somewhere between 3500 and 4200 ft long.
To be over 3,500 ft, I assume it will be longer than other Disney indoor coasters, or at least close to it. For reference RnRC is 3,403', SM (WDW) is 3,196/3,186 (depending on the side), SM (DLR) 3,035. I would be quite sad if the 9,500,000 ft^3 gravity building did not have more track than the 3,500,000 ft^3 RnRC gravity building.


I doubt it will be the longest indoor roller coaster in the world... of they would advertise it. Worlds longest indoor roller coaster is Mindbender at Galaxyland Amusement Park at 4,198'. So I assume it will be under that.

Exactly, I’ve been assuming it’ll be in the ballpark of 3500ft. If it’s more than that than great. Problem is one of the longest is a very loose term, and there aren’t many indoor coasters so it’s an easy claim.

I would be satisfied with a 2:30 plus minute roller coaster experience. Do our insiders know if this expectation is a realistic one?

Exhibition Everest is currently the longest coaster at WDW at 4424 ft, if this coaster is longer then Everest, that’s going to be one heck of an indoor coaster and there will have to be a portion of the ride (not just the station) in the old UoE building, or there will be no room for theming in the gravity building because the track is going to twist too much on itself.

Fun Fact. EE takes up ~105,000 sqft. GotG:CR gravity building+launch tunnel take up ~95,000 sqft.

how long is RNRC? feels like about 45 seconds from start to end.

1 minute, 22 seconds. But if this truly is BTMRR intensity, it won't be going nearly as fast as RnRC throughout the course.

I thought, way back in my brain, that Martin said it was going to be around 4 mins total. Or am I off me rocker?

If thats true that would be awesome!!!

@marni1971 . Sorry to summon you, but do you remember what I'm talking about, or am I nuts?

In that region, including movements within the 1982 building.

This would have been a great addition to HS making it a full day park.

Do you happen to know what part of the ride this is?

Nope. As you may know I’ve not been following this one that closely.

Could you tell us the area that the show building is for RnRC?

Yes this would of been great for DHS but ,they decided to put it in Epcot.I still think DHS needs at least 3 more rides.p

I would argue exact length matters little in the dark. As long as it’s not too short. I care more about what it does with its length.

Chapek seems like the type to overestimate length. Like, “dude, you’re using the wrong side of the ruler.”

Brilliant.

Oh well, thanks for all you’ve given us though!

Using an online calculator tool, the gravity building and launch/brake run tunnels are just under 44,000 sq feet.

If you include the entirety of the indoor queue, preshow, load, unload and gift shop building, you're at ~66,000 SQ feet.

That part of the track is very near the launch tunnel, my guess is that it is either the start of the launch or the break run, however from the quick view of that I saw on the monorail the angle looked wrong for the launch so I bet it’s the break run.

Modern rides use magnetic breaks, these breaks cannot be turned off, they are always on, so most of them are calibrated to slow the train to a crawl and angling the track allows the train to use gravity to move past the break run once either the one magnetic break that halts movement is lowered below the train or the one mechanical break is released.
