And asking us about other people whose reaction is very favorable to the ride is fruitless. We can't speak for them.

Yeah I know they didn't make it up for the ride, just think it's funny

To Cosmic Rewind in terms of queue concept. Theme the queue to faux pavillion that then transports our guests to the world of the movie.

Does it really matter why someone could have an emotional, uplifting experience from an attraction?

I mean, it's an interesting question if it's not done just to be mean about it. Don't know these people, but I'd be curious what about the ride would bring that kind of emotion out. It helps understand what was done so well about the ride. And honestly could give insight into if I'm maybe missing something on the ride (not that I don't think it's great, but it gsve me no emotional response). I mean, people make livings off reactions for that exact reason

As others have said, who are we to judge, but I don’t think it was for the “video hits”. If memory serves, it was somewhat related to the song that was played (maybe “Everybody Wants to Rule the World?”) reminding her of her late mother and the images while on the ride felt “heavenly” to her in some capacity and the connection just made her emotional.
She pretty much explains why she felt emotional in the video and I don’t think there’s any reason to think it was insincere.

Exactly. She explained how the song, mixed with the imagery and the feeling of floating throughout the ride gave her an emotional experience thinking of her mom, death, the possibility of what comes after life etc.

Appologies ... makes sense.
Was able to ride twice on our trip and it's our group's new favorite ride on property!
I will be the first to admit that I was never an EPCOT purist, so perhaps my opinion is a bit out of the mainstream for this site, but I believe this attraction is just what EPCOT needed. It is certainly a monumental improvement over the Energy pavilion in my opinion.
The smoothness of the ride is unlike any rollercoaster I've ever experienced, the music is so fun, and the on-ride projections and props are very well done.
I am a huge theme park fan and less of a "Disney" fan. I've watched the Guardians of the Galaxy movies and found them to be pretty decent, but I've never had any real affinity for the franchise. Yes... I will be the first to admit that the story is very difficult to follow once you get on the ride, but I think for this attraction, story takes a back seat to fun. I'd give it 4.5/5 stars and rank it the best attraction in the park.
If Disney would add one more solid E ticket to the front half of the park and maybe 2 more rides (not mere "attractions") to World Showcase, EPCOT could finally take its rightful place as a world class second-gate. (Oh, and please fix Imagination for crying out loud!)
(Please don't come for my neck.)

Good ride. Wrong damn park. Didn't get motion sick but wouldn't want to do it more than once per day.
It also suffers from Disney's recent penchant for cramming far too much into the queue/pre-show/ride/show. It's information-overload, but I guess that makes guys like THEZach and others feel better about themselves and their obvious lack of understanding of what made Disney theme parks so successful before they started working for WDI. Less can be more.

Has anybody else had people push the doors open after we are “teleported”? This happened to us on Saturday but we held our ground and told the people that there is a preshow to watch.

Yup - it's just as annoying as the people who spiel Haunted Mansion.
They need to, unfortunately, put some stanchions that require a cast member to open them in order for people to then leave. First-time visitors are having their experiences ruined because they get distracted by the stampede.

I am an Epcot purist (bring back Horizons, World of Motion, The Living Seas, etc) so although I loved GotG, I don't want it in Epcot. But on the skyliner last week, we were talking to park newbies who don't even know the "old Epcot" and even they said - unprompted by me - that they loved the ride but it didn't fit in with the rest of the park.
So it's not just me and other purists who take issue with where this ride is.

I rode it for the first time a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I did end up closing my eyes a couple times because I couldn't find a focal point to keep from feeling queasy, but didn't actually get sick and felt fine as soon as the ride ended. I can see how people might have trouble with the 2 flights of stairs after getting off the ride, though. The ride itself felt very smooth compared to some of the other coasters on property (looking at you, Space Mountain).
I wasn't bothered by its placement in Epcot. I can understand why some people don't think it belongs there, but it was a fun time and I thought the queue did a good job making it feel like it belongs there (as much as possible).

I was a little dizzy upon exiting but not much. I typically sit down on that bench in the exit room to retrieve my glasses, etc. from my backpack just before going up the stairs. That gives me a few moments to re-orient myself. I'll give them credit by working hard to justify its placement -- bringing technology to us, Star Lord loving all the things in Epcot no longer there, etc. I understand the purity argument. But it's still a great ride.
Just rode it for the first time, may need to ride it more to solidify my reaction. That was an incredible ride, we got One Way or Another for our song.
EDIT: It’s easily top 3 in the resort, though I can see this moving to 1 with more rides.

I love it…and I’ll remind people pretty much hate me around here and everything I say is wrong…
But I loved it.
One way was my second ride…the most rare (allegedly) and by far best song was my first ride
What was your first ride’s song?
