Take a Peek at Disney's Newest Attraction With Lights ON! - Inside the Magic

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind opened in EPCOT at Walt Disney World Resort on May 27, 2022. The Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) themed ride is Disney’s first-ever reverse-launch coaster and the second ride themed after this beloved Marvel franchise – right behind Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout! at Disneyland Resort.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has been a big hit among Marvel and Disney Parks fans, despite a bit of motion sickness! During Annual Passholder, Disney Vacation Club (DVC), and Cast Member previews of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, a few lucky Guests had the chance to see the new ride with the lights on during a breakdown.

It’s unclear if the original poster was the Guest who took the photos, but they did say they were given an extra ride on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind due to a technical error halfway through the ride:

During our second ride (which was my ILL purchase) we had a slight malfunction. the lights and music cut out halfway and we failed to climb the hill quickly. We finally climbed it and rode the rest of the ride in silence and in the dark so they let us right back on.
