Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is an enclosed roller coaster in the World Discovery area of EPCOT at Walt Disney World. It is themed to Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy films, and its ride vehicles rotate to point riders toward the show scenes as the train travels through a large show building.
History
The coaster opened on May 27, 2022, on the site of the former Universe of Energy pavilion. It was built by Vekoma and is EPCOT's only roller coaster. It is described as Disney's first backward-launched coaster: the ride uses a linear synchronous motor launch, reaches about 60 mph and runs about 5,577 feet of track with no inversions. Each train carries 20 riders.
