EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

[MagicHappens1971]

I have one of the regular skyliner buckets from a year or two ago and it works pretty well

I do as well. Easy to grab the popcorn, and not hard to clean, those speciality buckets are usually so annoying.

I’m not drawn to popcorn in a theme park. That’s just not something I want there, it’s for movie theatres and relaxing at home. Ice Cream, Pastries, yes, if I want something savory I’ll grab something from CS.

I don’t think many of the people who buy these popcorn buckets are either.

Agreed. I really like the creativity in these objects they are calling popcorn buckets. In reality these are not meant to hold popcorn, they are cool and collectible souvenirs.

Is there a reason the pre-show transporter has been turned off this entire week?

It worked yesterday.

 

[lightningtap347]

It worked yesterday.

Strange!

I've been on it three times this week and it hasn't worked once. This most recent one they smooshed us all against the doors into load.

Preshow was down yesterday for us. It seems to be very inconsistent.

We finally had our chance to ride it last week and I happily did not get sick!
The poor guy behind us promptly got off and threw up in the garbage can.

We got Tears for Fears. I absolutely loved this ride. Felt like we were just gliding through space, listening to great music.
I found Tron more "thrilling" - that launch is fantastic, but overall liked GOTG more.

I rode the ride for the first time in February. I was lucky to get two rides in one day actually with LL and virtual queue. The first time we got Disco Inferno, I thought it was a fun time, but perhaps a tad bit overhyped by my friends who were with me. But the second time we got Everybody Wants to Rule the World and that was the best experience. I feel like the ride goes from good to great depending on which song you get, at least in my opinion.

I'd say in our experience good to excellent depending on the song. We still are missing 2 (Disco Inerno and September) and definitely have our favorites. Everybody Wants to Rule was hands down our least favorite. Next lowest was was I Ran... it was miles better than Everybody... for us, but still meh. Conga is our favorite followed by One Way...
Kind of unbelievable that we've had Conga half of our rides.

The odds...

The probability of getting all 6 songs in 6 rides is 1.5%.

The rest of the chances:

View attachment 645261

The median is 13 rides, the mean is 14.7.

This is a type of probability problem called the coupon collector's problem. The maths of it have been explored in great detail for 'collecting all 6' due to the humble six-sided die.

As you can see, you can ride it 22 times and still have 10% chance you haven't heard all six songs.

 

[correcaminos]

I really want to ride with September.

I really do too!!! I was bummed when on my last ride I still hadn't gotten it.

The odds...

I know.... I hope to add more rides in a few weeks to see if I can get through them all.

It was also down for me both times I rode it this trip: Saturday afternoon and last night’s EEH.

 

[tparris]

I’ve ridden 3 times in the past week and a half and the preshow has been down every time. I’m really worried it won’t be coming back for a while

Isn't the pre show just a video on a screen ?

What are you expecting and why are you worried ?

The ride actually has a story and without the pre-show it doesn't make much sense. The first time I went, the pre-show broke down while we were in the room; it just never started and we walked to the ride, then all this stuff happens on the ride that references the pre-show and I had no idea what it meant. The second time I went, the pre-show worked and it all tied together. You can still enjoy it as a roller coaster and just figure "oh, we're... doing something to... save... the Earth?" but the pre-show really is integrated into the story of the ride. And there is actually a pretty neat effect in the pre-show that is worth experiencing.

I’m talking about the physical effect that happens in the preshow, not the screens.

 

[TeddyinMO]

Rode it for my first two times on Monday. Absolutely amazing even though I was definitely a bit wobbly after both rides. Preshow worked well both times, and I got September twice. It would have been nice to get a second song, but I cannot imagine a song working any better than that one. It's absolutely perfect for the ride!
