There aren’t many things more exciting to talk about than the brand-new roller coaster that is opening in Walt Disney World this month. Located in EPCOT, the Orlando theme Park will be the home to the company’s newest Marvel-centric attraction known as Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.

The ride promises a thrilling and energetic experience, complete with multiple song choices and great re-rideability. Fans lucky enough to have gotten a special preview of the attraction have called it a mix between Space Mountain and Hollywood Studios’ Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster.

Previews have already been happening as the ride approaches its official opening date, and Guest reception to the ride has been incredibly positive.

Unfortunately, there are some issues that have come upon regarding this new attraction. Wed has covered multiple accounts of Guests with motion sickness as well as the lackluster reception to how Disney has handled the outdoor sections of the queue.

Recently, the new ride actually broke down, leaving Guests stuck with the lights on. See the video shared on TikTok below from @ashley.bee:

As you can see, the Guests come to a complete stop on the ride and all of the lights are turned on. Eventually, the Guests had to evacuate the ride. Fortunately, when this happens, Disney will issue Guests a pass similar to a Lightning Lane pass which allows them to bypass the stand-by queue for another ride. While this attraction is still in its preview stage, we can assume the process is similar.

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.

Disney Imagineering spoke on the story of the attraction, and how it makes sense and fits into EPCOT quite perfectly. Of course, we know it is located to Mission: Space and Space 220, which works great, but it seems that this attraction will actually bring an all-new pavilion into the theme park, as mentioned by Disney! The people of Xandar have come to World Discovery, which is where our coaster story begins! Now, Guests will be able to enjoy the World Showcase pavilions and see the details of the countries, as well as see Xandar brought to life as the planet and its Nova Corps have decided to establish Epcot’s first “Other-World Showcase” pavilion.
