EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[fgmnt]

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

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.

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.

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.

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

A proper 80s Christmas would be Mannheim Steamroller tho

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.

You monster!

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

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

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.

I think i was just trying to distinguish the bourbon and Coke and the straight bourbon. You are correct. There was no “shooting” of the bourbon.

Regardless of the ingestion method or speed thereof, the liquor (although more likely the “more front” seat placement) made the ride more enjoyable.

No doubt

Written and directed by the people who produced The Elder Scrolls series.

I pray to all gods, future and present that grandma got run over by a reindeer makes the cut

Is it a good experience? Yes, if you don’t get sick.

Is it revolutionary? No.

Is it in the right park? No.

Is it worth the budget? IMHO no.

For a long time I was taking a "wait and see" approach, but after finally riding it, yes, agree 100%

I’d argue that ride they built doesn’t belong in the other three parks either, not necessarily because it fits in Epcot, but because they tried to make it fit in Epcot.

I mean, Studios literally already has a “Remote outpost for the people from the movie” attraction as it is, so I think that’s all the more reason it would fit fine there.

Just awful. Glenn close is actually the best part, but when Terry Crews shows up its just atrocious.

I doubt I'll ever ride it again. Preshows are horrid, line will likely always be long, no other big draw to Epcot besides Frozen Rat is just not worth the walk to it. .and it made me queezy for an hour or so. And it's just not that great. I wouldn't care if it played Master of Puppets, the music just doesn't make me not just want the ride to end.

Do you know if the rotation is a program that starts at the end of each brake, or is it finely controlled along the track, which I doubt.

Is it the best themed coaster in Epcot?

Shes definitely the only one who wasn't phoning it in..

 

[ppete1975]

Even though older... little saint nick would be awesome... then the jackson 5, elvis, then of course all of the classics .. they have soooooo many options.

Fully agree.

My thoughts:

The first part of the queue had me scratching my head - Why is this here? Apparently you have to be in that area for a while before you are "entertained" by it?

Upstairs part of the queue is rather ridiculous - way too much going on and it's overload (and over-done).

Pre-shows try to build towards something which never pays off, and the teleportation room is just silly. The upstairs queue and pre-shows are ... not very good.

The ride itself is fine, as long as you don't get sick, as mentioned. Physically not something I'll likely do more than once per visit to Epcot, if I go back. It quickly loses the entire story that is trying to be told, or else you're so focused on other things that you lose it, which boggles my mind.

The music - I have no idea why people are gushing over the music. If you're riding this for the music, we're not going to be able to have a serious discussion about it.

But... a Christmas overlay!! That will fix everything...
