Credit: Zach RiddleyWalt Disney World Resort is set to open its exciting new coaster Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind this summer.
The state-of-the-art roller coaster that rotates 360 degrees and has the first-ever reverse launch on a coaster in Disney history is set to open on Friday, May 27.
However, if you’re a Disney Annual Passholder, you may be disappointed to hear the latest news.
All Annual Passholder Reservations are completely booked for the opening day of the coaster. At this point, Disney Park Reservations for theme park ticket holders and select Resort Guests remain available.
While it may be disappointing to hear that if you don’t already have a reservation you won’t be able to get one as an Annual Passholder, we do have good news.
We previously reported that Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members would be able to sign up for an exclusive preview of the attraction before May 27. Although the dates of the registration are not yet here, members should keep an eye on their email for further instructions which will surely come in the following days or weeks.
Disney Parks Blog describes Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind like this:
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is a family-friendly adventure, featuring a totally new type of roller coaster experience we’re developing just for this attraction – it’s a storycoaster that rotates 360 degrees so you’re always focused on all the action as you help the Guardians save the galaxy. Not only that, but Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will also feature the first reverse launch on a coaster in Disney history and is one of the longest enclosed coasters in the world. It’s a massive experience that will match the scale and adventure of the Guardians of the Galaxy films.
As part of the ongoing transformation of EPCOT, we’re infusing this park we love and cherish with more ways to dream, to be inspired and to connect with our world – or other galaxies, in this case. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is going to be a big step in that direction, and we can’t wait for you to experience it.
Over at Disney California Adventure in the Avengers Campus, Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout is one of the most popular attractions for Disneyland Resort Guests to visit and while this coaster will be much different from the attraction in California, it is still expected to be enormously popular.
