News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

I mean, Memorial Day sounds about right. 3 months to finish up the queue, landscaping, cast member previews and AP previews? I'm chill with that. Hopefully some of the hype will die down by time I visit in October.

I would not count on it unless your trip is in October of 2026.

"Summer" in Hospitality & Tourism is not June 21.

Ways to define summer, ranked by order of importance to Disney:

1. Whatever Park Ops and Marketing find convenient
2. Friday before Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day
3. Last day of school through first day of school
4. June through August (meteorological summer)
5. June 21 through September 21 (astronomical summer)

I don't disagree, but I also wouldn't call a Memorial Day opening for "Summer", late.

Based on how log it has taken them to work on the roof, the remaining panels should be installed by 2025.

Early reviews I’ve heard are that the ride is fantastic.

Pity they couldn’t get the waterfalls done. It will be strange having the new blockbuster at Epcot while it’s an enormous mud pit. At least the new restaurant should be ready. Maybe they will add ILLs for mud wrestling during summer downpours.

"I've been involved in a number of mud wrestling competitions, both as a participant and a spectator. You have more fun as a spectator. But, you make more money as a participant."

Technically July 3 through October 1 this year.

But yeah, that too.

Honestly? I think it looks good. It looks like it’s docked on the land. Which, it is.

Any read on if they’ll open that half of the center core?

Are we expecting AP previews for this?

That’s the hope. Make people walk around to GotG.

AP and DVC should be possible.

I'm expecting a similar roll-out to Rat.

They'll open the sidewalk alongside Connections that faces the center of Celebration, but I doubt they'll open more than that. To genuinely open half, they'd have to make progress on the central fountain, Dreamers Point, and some landscaped berms, which they haven't even started on. You'll still be compressed down a walled-off sidewalk, just a different one.

An inside walled off sidewalk is still a shorter walk back to WS than an outside one. Or to Test Track for that matter.

Exactly. It makes the path to GotG longer but it will still be uncomfortable. I wonder if this will be available during Early Entry…

So does this ride beat EE's record of Disney's most expensive coaster?
