Do we have any information about the rides accesibility for those with really long legs? Sometimes my husband is allowed to ride Slinky dog and other times he cannot due to the size of his legs.

Sounds like Space Mountain 3.0. Coaster in a dark box with some screens and minimal "set pieces". Hmmm, I think someone said that would be the case as the Diznoids speculated about all the amazing things that would be all throughout the ride.

Just how the $#% does Disney spend $400,000,000 on this?

THAT's the lens you have to look at this through. Is it a fun coaster? I would hope so as it's a massive, vista destroying, monstrosity that costs hundreds of millions of dollars!

Let's hope our standards are higher for this than "it's a fun coaster with a good soundtrack". It should be mind-blowing thematically and in execution for that scale/price tag. Hoping it is...

I haven’t seen much pertaining to accessibility yet. I’m sure that information should come soon though.

The reviews are pretty clear. Unless everyone is in collusion, that it is a basic black box coaster with really big screens. Universal would be abslutely eviscerated for this ride, especially at the ludicrous price tag.

But, but, but Zach said!!!!

Also, have we heard yet about the plot device of why tourists wandering through the museum are required to fight a space villain? Can't wait to hear it....

I’m saying some people are impossible to please, no matter what you do

Ok. No problem. Roger, Dodger

And that’s why I’m scratching my head. A lot of people are hinting at an “amazing achievement“…

No need to actually bother seeing it.

It’s become an “epidemic”

Rocket mispronounced EPCOT at the end of the ride, and Gamora corrects him, to which he replies something like "who names these things?!"

Wow. That joke's even worse than "Disneyland?! That's thematically inconsistent!"

That is their whole thing, they are self aware. Is it cheesy, sure? I find it fun though.

September by Earth, Wind and Fire.

There is not a single classic EPCOT reference. Rocket mispronounced EPCOT at the end of the ride, and Gamora corrects him, to which he replies something like "who names these things?!"

Walt did, in one of his last public appearances. But hey, maybe the self-deprecating jokes will take the sting off of questions as to what six years and $450M gets you these days.

Does anyone have a ride POV ? I want to get spoiled.

It is possible to be cheesy, self-aware, AND funny.

That is what I feel they have accomplished.

Don’t think we’ll see that until the other previews. Seems like they are being pretty strict with cast in regards to no filming

Yeah, who is going to risk their job for a POV?

 

[Giss Neric]

Are the other reviews praising (or even evaluating) the on-ride theming, or are they simply saying it’s a fun coaster?

Search Cosmic Rewind on Twitter then click latest and you will see basically all the reviews there from earlier.

Nope. It’s a “fun coaster”. Because that’s totally all the park needed after 20+ years of neglect and deterioration. A “fun” “coaster”.

They better have “Escape” by Rupert Holmes on the playlist.

That was originally one of the songs, but was changed a while back.

The guy running this site says

Before we get into details, the answer to the one thing you want to know. In short, Cosmic Rewind is a FANTASTIC addition to Walt Disney World. A fast, better, more fun Space Mountain - unlike anything else! It's a hit.

Sounds like it's more than just 'fun'
