News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[James J]

We fly back to the UK on the 28th, which means that we'll be seriously hoping that we manage to ride on the 27th! Just by chance the Park Reservations I made already have us at Epcot on the 27th, so that's one part sorted...

No inversions, and very much a family coaster. Somewhere around Everest thrill level.

And just like Everest...no animatronics!

Lesson learned with Everest. No animations means one less thing that can break

And the next part of the challenge will be the 5 second window to secure a spot in some kind of virtual queue. I wish you good luck, hope it works out!

Don't have to shut down a ride because of a broken critical animatronic if you don't have any animatronics!

They couldn't get Bradley Cooper huh? lol

Glad someone else noticed this too! I sure hope it was just a double (and a poor one at that) for this commercial and that they have BC for the ride itself...

I imagine this will just be for the add spot. It's likely that they only had Cooper for a few sessions and didn't get the necessary audio for the advertisement.

Just got the AP/DVC preview announcement -

I'm confused that I didn't get this ad. I'm not local, but I do have a valid AP.

At least it's not trackless. I noticed Remy was down temporarily today . Wonder why?

It's been far less reliable lately...

 

[EricsBiscuit]

If one is an AP and a gold member can we preview twice?

I cant wrap my head around reliability issues on attractions like these. It’s THAT complicated?

Windows keeps updating.

Thanks, and yes that next part will be a whole different ball game

I have had DVC and AP friends do it twice with Remy last year. So my guess is yes?

Alex, I'll take wire-guided ride vehicles for $300.

D23 will likely be a paid event. They did this with Remy too.

Individual Lightning Lane Rides Moved to Genie+ at Disney World

I'm going to guess ILL for $20 (matching Disneyland prices), with boarding groups (7am and 1pm drops) for the first few months. There is so much more money in it for Disney to not keep a 4 hour line in Epcot. People will shop more and eat more if they have to hang around EPCOT waiting for their boarding group to be called.

VQ also will push many more reservations to EPCOT vs people that hop there in the evening to get on GOTG. This is good for Disney as EPCOT usually has availability while the other parks sell out.

Is the actress in the Cosmic Rewind video the same one from the Starcruiser travel company email? They look similar to me but I could be drastically mistaken.

I figured that they might test the upper limits and go $30-35/person to see what they can milk out of it.
