A few days ago at Destination D23, Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro revealed Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will open in summer 2022 at EPCOT as part of the Walt Disney World Resort 50th Anniversary celebration. This thrilling new family-friendly coaster matches the “grandiosity” and fun of the blockbuster “Guardians of the Galaxy” films in what will be one of the longest fully enclosed coasters in the world.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Coming Summer 2022
Josh made this exciting announcement with a little help from a friend from Academy Award nominee Glenn Close, who for our attraction will reprise her role from “Guardians of the Galaxy” as Nova Prime, the leader of Xandar and commander of the Nova Corps.
You’ll see Nova Prime in the new Wonders of Xandar “other-world” pavilion at EPCOT, which the Xandarians are currently constructing in the park’s newly renamed World Discovery neighborhood. It’s here you’ll learn more about Xandarians and their advanced technologies, which they’re bringing to us here on Earth – or Terra, as they call our planet.

When it opens, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will be one of the longest fully enclosed coasters in the world.
It’s also being described as a family thrill coaster, putting it a step above Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in terms of thrills but still shy of the likes of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith.
