The ride was awesome. Basically, before 7 AM I selected our party, then it takes you to a page that has a refresh button. At 6:59 I kept clicking it, at 7:00 it let me right in and I accepted. We were on Boarding Group 8, which meant we walked on at rope drop for off-site guests.Missed it, so I got an individual sucker lane for 9:55. $14.
I was able to ride it twice thanks to my wife not going, once row 1, once row 10. I recommend row 1. I felt that I was late to the video scenes in row 10.

Personally I feel that rows 9 & 10 deliver slightly more intense g forces, but rows 1 & 2 feel somewhat faster due to the lack of anything in front of you to block the wind.

Yea, the rear of roller coaster trains usually give more whiplash. Unfortunately, you show up late to each video scene/audio, so I felt like I missed part of the show. In row 1 (my usual preference for coasters), I was front row for the action.
Umm... actually...
In the first launch, rows 1 & 2 have the entire train blocking the wind for them!

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is the first Disney Omnicoaster, meaning its vehicles make controlled rotations to ensure guests are always engrossed in the action. “Our Disney Imagineers actually created this new technology and hold a patent as to how it is accomplished,” says Wyatt Winter, Senior Show Producer. “What makes it unique is the ability to program and control that rotation to specific locations or times and allow guests to focus on the show taking place around them.”

We were there on Dec 2. Got the 7am drop for Group 19. Made our way over at 9:20am and off the ride by 9:40. Zero wait in the queue. Great ride!

It seems as though Disney defied a lot of our expectations by maintaining boarding groups much longer than Ratatouille or Rise of the Resistance. Does anyone think there is any chance that boarding groups will continue at Cosmic Rewind after Tron opens at Magic Kingdom?

Will I be able to grab a Guardians free boarding group at 7a if I have a park pass to DHS with a park hopper ticket?
Slinky is the other big drawer for genie+.
Which ride should I go after first to make sure I get both? Guardians BG then Slinky G+ then ILL Rise?
I am going with a 1st timer for one day only to DHS/Epcot. 1 Day Park Hopper was comped so we are ok to spend money on the extras!

No. The 7am Virtual Queue requires you to have an EPCOT park reservation.

That is why I asked. I read conflicting reports that this was changed. That a park pass for another park will automatically give me a time after 2pm. Hmmm.
