As to the exterior - iconic, absolutely. Beautiful? I don't think that fits.
The track layout could definitely be better. Its the worst of all versions currently.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind officially opened 1 year ago today on May 27, 2022.
The longest virtual queue window was on November 30, 2022 – when the 1pm drop lasted for 7 hours and 30 mins! The park that day was open until 9:30pm, reaching a max of BG 184 called at 8:32pm.
7am drop
The virtual queue system remains in place to today.
Here is a scatterplot of all the VQ drops for the past year, 364 data points/days of drops total (1 day missing due to Hurricane Ian closure).

It just looks unpleasantly organic, especially that smaller node.

As I've said elsewhere, I wouldn't mind seeing some of the garden elements make their way to us, but the mountain itself is incredibly inferior to the original, in my opinion.

Look at all that exposed queue. It takes away from the immersive theming

In the past couple of weeks, the last 1-2 hours of park operations it's been a walk-on. Lots of trains are being sent out with seats that could be filled out with guests.
Hoping they add a single-rider option as well someday. No idea how, but it would be awesome if they could.

Didn't they start opening up ROTR to standby late in the day when they were still doing the VQ?

Yeah on slower days this was an option. For whatever reason, they never really did it for GOTG and GOTG is more reliable/higher through-put than ROTR.
I don't mind boarding groups during the first few months of ops, but there's a point where the ride is no longer heavily demanded and a stand-by line is better option.

do they often sell out of Lightening Lane or whatever the paid option is called?
Here's the Individual Lightning Lane availability over the past 30 days via Thrill Data. The grey color indicates no return times were available.

Often.

From what I remember for Rise, they switched to standby only if they ended up calling all of the distributed BG's for the day.
But for GOTG, they rarely get in the BG 200's anymore, which is where the maximum usually is. The average is BG 180, which is a decrease from when it would reach BG 200+ in its first couple months.

Thanks. So I take it you need to buy first thing in the morning or good chance you will not get it

It almost never sells out first thing in the morning.
While it does typically sell out eventually, it's usually available until at least mid-morning and often well into the afternoon.
If you don't really care about when you ride, you can just wait and get one of the afternoon boarding groups for free because they're generally easy to get. There are occasional days where they go quickly, but on most days they're available for hours.
