Where is Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind located?
While we do not know the exact opening date yet, construction has been moving along quickly. If you head to EPCOT you will not miss this construction project. Located in Future World, this highly anticipated roller coaster will be the first Marvel-themed attraction in Walt Disney World.
The attraction will of course feature everyone’s favorite hero team, the superheroes from Guardians of the Galaxy! We are certain they will be bringing all of their mixtapes along with them for this Cosmic Rewind.
What kind of attraction is Guardian of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind?
We know that this roller coaster will be family-friendly and offer exciting thrills with an innovative ride vehicle that offers 360-degree motion for riders.
Disney Park Blog described the innovative technology for this new attraction as:
Work also continues on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind – the family-friendly “storytelling coaster” featuring a groundbreaking ride system with vehicles that rotate 360 degrees and can even do a reverse launch!
The Omnicoaster is a first- of-its-kind programmable roller coaster ride system, where guests can be rotated along the ride track in any direction while traveling at high speeds. The Omnicoaster name builds upon the tradition of the Omnimover ride system in which Walt Disney Imagineers are able to turn guests in any direction and focus their attention on a specific scene or element.

We also believe that is when the scenes for this new attraction will be filmed.
The Guardians are also set to appear in the upcoming Thor movie, Thor: Love and Thunder (2022). We cannot wait to see our favorite heroes back in action! Taika Waititi-directed Thor: Love and Thunder is currently filming in Australia.
