News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[Hawg G]

Stitch's Great Escape also had a direct English to Galactic lettering system way longer ago.

Not to mention Futurama did, too.

Indy at Disneyland says hello.

Songs would have to be 1988 and earlier that Star Lord would recognize. So several guesses. I'm going up tempo.

• Jingle Bell Rock (1957)
• Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer (1979)
• Rockin Around the Christmas Tree (1964)
• Christmas Baby - U2 (1987)

Christmas in Hollis

Sounds like its going to be the same "Christmas Mashup" original song every time rather than a random Christmas song.

Yes, which is a dumb plan.

My picks would have to include Last Christmas
and Wonderful Christmastime

Exactly, part of what I like so much about Guardians is going into It and not knowing what song you are going to get.

Good God, please, no.

 

[dreday3]

Good God, please, no.

Every year around the start of Christmas season, I wait until it's really quiet and then I just play the opening chords of Wonderful Christmastime just to hear my husband's anguished cries.

Twice.

 

[dreday3]

What they should use is The Ramone's -Merry Christmas (I don't wanna fight tonight)

And Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses.

Oh and of course - Band Aid's Do They Know it's Christmas?

 

[Gringrinngghost]

While they put the Christmas mix in, they need to remove “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”

It’s too slow for that attraction. You need a fast tempo song.

 

[Disney Analyst]

Glad they thought ahead and had this ready to go for the rides first Holiday season.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Who shoots bourbon?

I can't disagree - The story falls apart once you get on the actual ride. And there's so much in the queue, it's overload.

Yeah ya don’t shoot it…you sip it.


Animals…

Anyway…this holiday thing for guardians is pretty cool. Might have to make a trip

I actually find myself missing that ride

Yeah, but see, it’s The Zach’s favorite of the songs.

I completely disagree. They used parts of the song that feels exciting on-ride. All of the songs fantastic.

I think all the songs are good at best. There is nothing in there that really matches the energy perfectly.

I had a pretty stupid grin on my face after riding it. In a vacuum, it is a fun attraction. If you remember where they put it and how much they spent on it however, you can start to go insane.

I'd have to disagree; it's a B among a bunch of B- to C+ options. I wonder if and what options got left on the table because of lyrics that would not make the cut, artists that Disney would not want, or they could not get the rights to. Crazy that you have no Don't Bring Me Down by ELO, Renegade by Styx, Long Long Way from Home by Foreigner, Life in the Fast Lane by The Eagles, or Smokin' by Boston. All of them are top-level dad rock, follow the rule of not being in the movies, and would fit the ride much better.

 

[Skywise]

Brian Setzer's Christmas music would work but that might be too modern.

A proper 80s Christmas would be Mannheim Steamroller tho

I agree about the songs - Conga seems to come closest. The pop song gimmick seems to work better in Mission Breakout, but so do a lot of things.

On that note - having finally done it in person, the preshows are really awful. One of the worst Disney has ever done and much more reminiscent of Universal back in the 90s. I really don’t blame people for wanting to skip it.
