I have not. It's not from any personal protest; I am afraid of getting motion sickness from being in the dark and feeling disoriented. Maybe I should try Dramamine and ride on an empty stomach?

Any Epcot purists cave into Cosmic Rewind yet?

It's hardly anything to be worried about. I'd try that, but it's certainly not overly thrilling and is very smooth.

Disagree. As someone with motion sensitivity I tried riding twice and felt sick and disoriented during the ride and for a while afterward.
The ride will shut down for brief periods during most days due to “protein spills”. My daughter got stuck on the ride once because someone in the vehicle ahead of hers had spewed everywhere.
I no longer ride GotG but wait for my party at the exit and while about 90% of guests are smiling and happy, there is about 10% (all ages, kids through seniors) who are clearly nauseous. I have even seen medics attending to guests at the exit.
@Sans Souci if you are prone to motion sickness may I suggest watching a ride POV before deciding to ride it. If that makes you queasy, then skip the ride.

My problem is not having a focal point. If the car is rotating around, I am going to get disoriented. It looks fun, though, so maybe the dramamine could help.

Define "cave."
I've ridden it several times. I've never seen the movies, have no idea what the story is supposed to be behind the ride, but objectively, I think it is one of the most enjoyable roller coasters I've ever been on, and my coaster count is something like 55 or 56.
That said, I still think it has no place in EPCOT, and doesn't even come close to being relevent to the supposed theme of the "World Discovery" land

Guardians is far too big to sit inside the existing Space Mountain. And Space Mountain is beloved and can’t be removed.

Splash Mountain was also beloved.

That's how I felt after riding it, especially after reading so many comments saying it's the best ride in WDW.

Yeah, I'm completely baffled by that take personally, but people like different things.
It's certainly not bad; it's a fine addition to the parks in a vacuum (i.e. putting aside location etc.). It's just not close to being one of the best rides at WDW for me. I also think Mission Breakout is a better Guardians attraction (in terms of actually capturing the IP well regardless of anything else).

An utter travesty it was removed.

That may be, but the travesty of Mission Breakout was it ruined one of the best rides Disney ever built.

It didn't, though. The DCA version of Tower of Terror was significantly worse than the one at Hollywood Studios.
Not that I'm a big fan of them retheming attractions like that, but it wasn't really a major loss. Losing the WDW version would be.

It still did. Everyone knows the Orlando ToT is the best version, but the DL version was still better than Mission Breakout.

To me, I felt like the Paris Tower (even before the update) was a more polished version of the DCA Tower.

For me, DL Paris didn't even feel like a Disney park.

It's not even the best ride at EPCOT.
That's not to say it's bad, because it isn't -- but it was a weak effort from WDI. The coaster itself is quite good, but the imagineering around it... not so much.

IMO it's the best WDW ride but Velocicoaster tops it
