True but Disney is one that doesn't shy away from marketing things. If it were the longest they wouldn't just say "one of the longest". They'd make sure they everyone knew they broke a record like that.

Interesting that the description doesn't include "drops":
For contrast, even Test Track next door is labeled with "small drops":
It's hard to imagine there being nothing that qualifies as a "drop." Perhaps this is just an error.

Oh, that must be because you didnt notice that huge blue building behind the main one. No worries though, it’s so well done, no one sees it! Practically invisible! He’s perfectly able to fit it that one though, they made sure of that!

Undoubtedly an error of omission.
Well, he got the “sheer audacity” part right.

I wonder if Eson was able to get a park reservation…..
Negative, thats why he’s so mad at Terra.

It would make sense, but I’d think someone would know what it is. To my knowledge Mindbender is the longest at 4,198 ft. and this is about 5,500.

Wonder why he has 4 headlight eyes instead of 6? I’ve mostly just seen him in the background of the Marvel posters and a related creature in The Eternals, which I thought had a ridiculous plot. Honestly I was expecting a more human antagonist but I can see how this’ll work with the huge screens. Hopefully this is better than the eternals!Marvel announces the antagonist in Cosmic Rewind -

"A leisurely tour through the Wonders of Xandar is about to take a turn! When Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind opens at EPCOT at the Walt Disney World Resort this summer, be prepared to come face to face with Eson, who Marvel.com can reveal is the antagonist of the attraction!
Visitors hoping to explore and learn a little bit about the first-ever other-worldly pavilion in the area will get more than they expected when Eson, a Celestial that has been watching Earth for eons, makes a startling appearance. The Celestial is looking “to right a wrong in a big way,” and the Guardians of the Galaxy — Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot — step in to help save the day. But, they can’t do it alone and need our help to stop him from completing his grand plan!
What does that entail? While that remains to be seen, you just know there are going to be some rockin’ tunes along the way to saving the galaxy, again. Find the first look at Eson from the attraction, above!
While Eson might be a stranger to visitors at the Wonders of Xandar, he’s no stranger to the Guardians. While the Celestial and the ragtag troop have never crossed paths before, Eson was once in possession of the Power Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones, as the group learned in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Now, he’s clearly set his sights on Earth, which can hopefully be thwarted before full destruction!"

Eson from the Guardians movie, as The Collector tells the tale, indeed has six eyelights. But then again, the Marvel Parks Universe is not the same as the MCU.
Trivia
- In the comics, Eson the Searcher was a Celestial who was tasked with "seeking." Arriving with the Fourth Host's visit to Earth, he observes first Florida then Lemuria.
Eson the Searcher
These stones, it seems, can only be brandished by beings of extraordinary strength. These carriers can use the stone to mow down entire civilizations like wheat in a field.Collector Eson the Searcher is a Celestial that once wielded the Power Stone. A member of the ancient primordial race known...

Mindbender and Crazy Bats over at Phantasialand in Germany are currently the two longest full enclosed rollercoasters right now. If Cosmic is 5,500 then it will surely take the spot. Also Mindbender and Crazy Bats have the traditional lift hills that could add up to the duration of the ride. I'm not sure if Cosmic Rewind will be all launches and no lift hill.

Yeah, I think you misread my comment. I’m aware it’s a different character but in the Guardians movie Eson has 6 eyes.

The storyline is..well, dumb. The pavilion is not even in World Showcase. They muddied Epcot enough with the breakup of Future world, now there are trying to associate the farthest away FW attraction with World Showcase? The story in this ride could have been so much better. Thanks Zach!

Within the new reverse-launch coaster’s storyline, an ancient Celestial named Eson the Searcher – member of the universe’s oldest race – has been watching planet Earth for many eons and is about to give visitors to Epcot’s first-ever Other-World Showcase pavilion more than they bargained for.

Perhaps they don't feel they need a record to sell the ride or want to get into the weeds when they have several other indoor coasters open or nearly open. When me and Jack were researching his video we struggled to find anything that comes even close. I think the longest I could find in North America is about 900m. Maybe there's longer ones in other markets but does that even matter

I saw your video of the POV of the ride. How sure are you about the layout? Also is the lift hill at around the 2 min mark really a lift hill or another launch?
