I agree, it would certainly be nice if moderators would delete comments like this that do not add to any conversation, on-topic or off-topic.
Especially since there isn't much to debate/discuss at this point. These side conversations about track/trackless are entertaining. I made a semi-trackless coaster on RCT2 but the cars crashed at reentry.

Hopefully this sparks plenty of discussion and excitement for the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind. As you can see the attraction show building and track layout is as accurate as we could possibly get it. A lot of credit should also go to @tommyhawkins as we workshopped this together along with Scott Walker as well.

Other details I can disclose is that there will be 5 songs within the attraction, mostly from Awesome Mix Vol. 1. Also there will be references/Easter eggs to not only Universe of Energy/Ellen's Energy Adventure, but from what I've heard lots of legacy Epcot, including Horizons.

What was the ride time again? I'm sure someone said it in the last 900 or so pages....
Interesting picture. Seems like there's a lot of wasted space in the UoE building. I wonder why? Maybe I'm missing support for various systems that are needed inside?

Oh, forgot... This better be in there:
Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga...
I Can't Help this Feelin', deep inside of me...


Should be singing that all the way through the queue.

“Give up the funk” was presented alongside this attraction in the EPCOT Experience. Though I am not sure if it will be used in the actual attraction or if it was purely for the EPCOT Experience.

That mix tape is Ear Worm stuff of legend. It'll stick in your head until this thing is open. And, that's a LONG TIME!

Not sure how a thirty foot tall planet will look lol. I really don’t know what to expect from the actual gravity building portion of the ride. At least there are no exposed and visible metal sidings a la Crush’s Coaster

I hate that that song was in Guardians, because the original BJ Thomas version is 100000x better than the annoying Blue Swede one.

From what I've heard: "I want you back" Jackson 5, "Cherry Bomb" The Runaways, and "Escape" Rupert Holmes. But this came from a source who is friends with someone in Imagineering on the project. Not directly from Imagineering/Opperations to me.

CHERRY BOMB!!!

Escape is in the second movie, no? During the scene with the trees, the moonlight, people being shot into the air...but wait, I think they were still listening to awesome mix tape one at that point in the movie.

(not that any of that matters for the ride)

I wonder though is it like Rock and Mission Breakout where each train/elevator has a different track? Or is it just one track on each?

My gut tells me it’s one track but would love to see different profiles. I’m sure it is going to be fun either way especially with the Guardians music like @przidentkendall outlined. Thanks Jack!

I don't know if it's randomised or fixed. I personally think it would make more sense to be fixed in place as part of the narrative progression and not every song may be loudly blasted in the ride car but could be featured briefly in a show scene or something like that.

But it's interesting it shares an overlapping soundtrack with Mission Breakout, maybe it's easier from a licensing perspective. I would have loved some Vol. 2 songs (Brandy You're A Fine Girl, Southern Nights, Mr. Blue Sky, Come A Little Bit Closer). But either way, I'm REALLY excited for this ride... WILL BE THE LAST BIG NEW ORIGINAL ATTRACTION WE'RE GETTING AT WDW FOR A FEW YEARS.
