Who would have thought that Vekoma is now making the smoothest coasters. This is by far the smoothest coaster I have ridden.

10:33 For those of you that are unfamiliar, a block zone is a section of a roller coaster that only one train may occupy. At the end of a block zone is a method to stop a train in case the zone is still occupied. This is the safety system that keeps roller oaster trains from colliding with each other.

I Love how you said you wanted to collect all 6 songs like they’re infinity stones 🤣

I give Disney a lot of flack, especially their recent persistent use of projection screens over physical props/animatronics, but Guardians looks like a perfect execution of screen projection, and I cannot wait to ride it

This is genuinely the best ride I think I've ever been on. Just so much fun

As someone who just went to Disney World and pretty much did all the major rides, this one definitely stuck out as my favorite. It may be the most fun I’ve ever had on a roller coaster. I was giggling like a little kid the entire time (I’m 21 years old). Just riding a launched spinning coaster in the dark while the Guardians of the Galaxy are quipping and “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” is playing in the background is just one of the most fun experiences a person can go through. It was an absolute blast. And yes, that song works perfectly with the ride. Especially the launch

its insane how much Disney has improved their rides since i started going there as a kid. I really thought that it couldnt get better than rock n roller coaster or space mountain or expedition everest until they added the star wars galaxy’s edge rides and now even this

I got to ride for the first time yesterday spoiler-free, and I’m not even going to lie. I think this was the best first ride experience I have had on any coaster, period. That said, I’m not a big MCU nerd, so I didn’t understand how it didn’t really fit in the Marvel universe. This thing was just probably the best all around experience I have had on a coaster. The pre-show effect really shocked me, and then, the coaster had me giggling like a little kid the entire time. I loved every second of it!! I would even go to say that I would have a hard time choosing whether to ride this or VelociCoaster, just based on how much fun I had on Guardians.

According to Disney, the Marvel attractions don’t take place in the main MCU but a separate one similar to it. It gives reason as to why Iron Man and Captain America can exist (and aren’t dead or old) at Avengers Campus. In this version of the Guardians Xander hasn’t been destroyed and Groot didn’t die (I have no idea why that would be the case).

i got to ride it 5 times during cast member previews, so happy it’s finally open to the world!! i have never been so shocked by a new ride before, it’s just so much fun! september is my favorite song to get

Guardians cosmic rewind is basically space mountain of the future and I’m fully here for it

Did it twice and amazing to me. As both a Disney and coaster enthusiast, definitely a great use of screens and rotating cars, again another winner for Disney and Vekoma.

Was able to ride this twice yesterday for the first time and absolutely loved it!! The theming after entering the building is amazing, I loved the queue, and the teleportation is such a smooth Transition and fast! The entire crowd in the room cheered when they realized what happened. The crowd definitely added to the experience, I’m 6’7” and fit comfortably in the seat with no knee issues unlike test track. It was a pure joyous experience and loved every second both times! No jerking or sudden turns that made it feel whiplashy. Blondie was my favorite song so far, especially when the entire car was screaming the song the whole ride. I give it a 10 for fun a 7 for theming and story, a 100 for song choices. It was a fun ride and I can’t wait for many more rides!! Thanks for the review.

The coaster is actually NOT set in the MCU, all Marvel rides are set in a different marvel universe to allow you to see all the characters you like

i loved it with everybody wants to rule the world but i also just love that song. it’s the only one i got and it definitely had a floaty vibe and made the ride feel like a super cool but kinda low key ride through space w the guardians, rather than a massive plot and battle against a celestial.

This honestly was the smoothest coaster I’ve ever ridden and I didn’t know it at the time until I started riding roller coasters. I can’t wait to ride this again ❤️

I got the song..everybody wants to rule the world…it was spectacular..this ride was spectacular..I can’t stop thinking about it!! It changed me as a person!

Yess you did a cosmic rewind review let’s go! I’ve been waiting for this!

For the continuity of the MCU, this attraction is not “canon.” Meaning it does not exist in the MCU, nor does any of the plot points or storyline. It’s why you see black widow walking around avengers campus.

Love this ride and love your review of it, only thing for some of us we will still get dizzy or nauseous on it no matter what we do. I loved it but I was wrecked for about 30 minutes or so afterwards.

Just went on this this week and wow it was the best ride I've ever been on. And it broke down right at the end for us, so we got to ride it again immediately after with another song. Truly brought out the inner kid in me. I was smiling for like an hour after.

For one there’s animatronics in it! Oooooooh!! Shots fired! Thanks for the video.

I really hope I can come back here at some point. I last visited the resort in 2019 when there was a lot of construction going on. Things seem to be more complete now, with the exception of Tron. This ride looks amazing.

Rode every ride this last DW visit and Cosmic Rewind was by far best experience. Virtual Que eliminated having to stand in line for 2 hours, and the ride was Amazing. My face hurt from smiling with pure glee the whole ride and the music was perfectly in groove with the action.

I absolutely love this ride and think it’s a perfect addition to Epcot! I actually really like the story of the ride and how it fits into the park and it’s history. I also just love Epcot so it’s story not being totally MCU I’m totally down with. If this was at a different park, that’d be another story. While having some similarities to other Disney coasters I found the experience of this one very unique and enough to differentiate it. Easily the most comfortable and smooth while being one of the most thrilling in a Disney park, plus the rotating cars create a very unique sensation that you don’t get to experience on most coasters, especially indoors and in the dark. The helix around the moon is definitely a highlight. I can see the modernized space mountain criticism I’ve heard, but especially compared to Disney World’s space mountain this is 1000x better. Tiny disagreement I have is I don’t think the front row is all that great on this ride. I mean you’ll have so much fun in any row, but the middle and back cars you feel the coaster itself more, so for those who don’t do too well on coasters the front would be a good option. I do agree in the disappointment in lack of animatronics. Thankfully the screens and effects used are brilliant, plus the loading station and preshow scenes are fantastic, but really wish we could’ve gotten some solid animatronics. Wonder if most of the budget was paying the actors and maybe the tech and smoothness of the ride? Plus the fact that it’s a capacity monster. I also can’t stand the Disney virtual queue. Sure it’ll cut down on the wait time, for those that can get in it, but what if you’re on a once in a lifetime trip and your phone just happens to be one second too slow? Also especially at a park like Epcot, I like to wander and explore freely, I don’t want to find myself in American Adventure enjoying my moonshine sour suddenly needing to make it all the way back to my boarding group in World Discovery. I’d rather show up to the park, wait a couple hours the way god intended, then eat and drink heavily as one does at Epcot. I also dated someone that worked guest relations at Hollywood studios when Rise had the VQ, the horror stories I’ve heard, makes me feel for the cast members that gotta deal with the upset guests too. I have been lucky that I’ve been able to ride 8 times experiencing it with 4/6 six songs so I have a solid grasp on it. I absolutely love it and it’s easily the best Disney coaster, I rank it slightly below Hagrids, probably for Hagrids feeling more real despite the effects and screens on Guardians being pretty amazing in their own right.

I rode it twice, first time I got one way or another and it was good. The second time we got everybody wants to rule the world. Personally I thought it was the perfect song for the coaster. My whole family enjoyed that song much more.

Yeah so finally rode this and it’s a damn blast. Minus weird pre show stuff, the design and execution is badass and has some decent force. The coaster cars are insanely comfy and brilliant

Rode GOTG:CR 3 times on our recent visit, and was instantly my son & I’s favourite WDW ride, beating out our previous of Flight of Passage and even Rise of the Resistance (and I’m a first generation Star Wars fan). I’d never even thought of the lack of any animatronics on the ride until going through a number of videos, including your own, that describe the ride’s history and concept art. Yes, an animatronic Rocket would have been cool (as per BB8 etc on Rise). The music on the other hand did so much of the work for us (Conga, Disco Inferno & I Ran) - the marriage and interaction of ride mechanics, theming and music was just perfect. Excellent video - I’ve been reliving our recent trip watching it with the warm fuzzies and a huge grin on my face :)

One ride, September playing, and I immediately put it as the best ride in Walt Disney World. Period.

I guess the only issue I really have with it is: why is this in Epcot? like Epcot deserved to have a non-IP roller-coaster, imagine if this was genuinely teaching you about the cosmos (like idk, watching the big bang happen or something) instead of comic book lore? It could have been a genuine way to make a fun and educational ride because Epcot is basically the only place where they can make that kind of thing work.

Personally I had Everybody Wants to Rule the World as the song and I LOVED IT. So I think it’s just your preference really

We have been on this ride 20 times. It is the best ride EVER! So amazing and it’s worth both the virtual queue and ILL.

I love this ride so much but honestly? The virtual line is so painful. I mean for one, it means you can only ride it max 2x a day. The other big issue is it means you have to wake up at the crack of dawn to get in line virtually for it. From there, throw in the fact that it means if you wanna ride it twice, you have to pay for it. Drives me nuts. I would much rather do a two hour line three times than a virtual queue once. Also the fact that its 2 years old now and its still virtual drives me NUTS. On top of it, the virtual runs out insanely fast and its the reason my dad couldnt ride it with me which was messed up. This ride is easily disneys best, but the line makes it one of the many headaches that now comes with planning a Disney trip that they seem compelled to continue adding each time i go. Disney used to be relaxed and easy to plan and run through. Now every single day requires a shockingly painful amount of effort that leaves you more tired and burnt out at the end of your trip than when you began, the opposite of what a vacation is supposed to be. I wanna be able to rant instead about how this ride is classic Disney mixed with new technology, improvements in ride systems, and lessons they’ve learned through opening decades of rides… instead i have to rant about how aggravating it is to ride. Disney, we know you can do better. I know you can do better. YOU know you can do better. So cut the bs and do better. We are owed that much. As to coaster studios, amazing work as always and always a great time when one of your videos grace my timeline. Thank you for all that you do, it is very appreciated. Danny out.

I feel like it is a good idea to have a vq because of the wait, Rise has a stand by and it reaches almost 200, if guardians has a vq, you don’t have to wait nearly as long as a ride such as Hagrids or Rise

We were just at Epcot yesterday and saw the sign of guardians but passed by it to go ride the test track (which is definitely worth it!!) Going back tomorrow and most definitely cannot wait to ride this with my lil 8yr old girl and girlfriend. My 8yr old just conquered her first actual fast roller coaster at mt. Everest!!

I was not expecting the reverse drop to be that intense and high

Good review, it's definitely a fun coaster to ride over and over again as I've ridden it a couple of times and always have fun with it I agree on most of the aspects that could have made it better but I'm not complaining much it is actually a pretty smooth ride even! 👍

I got to ride it twice earlier this month and enjoyed it so much! Second ride was definitely the best with the song Semptember.

Rode Guardians yesterday and Velicoaster today. Oddly hilarious to see Chris Pratt in the waiting area of two separate rides.

I think the 500 million might be the overall cost of not just the coaster. That's my take. They can say the coaster but probably one of those things like "worlds fastest vekoma controlled spinning coaster" lol

This was a really fun ride. I think it has the perfect intensity blended with good theme-ing of the franchise.

I'm just glad that WDW finally has a ride themed to something from the MCU they needed that for the longest time! Hopefully this means they'll get more MCU rides! Can't wait to ride this one next time i'm at Epcot looks awesome!

It was amazing!!! Had the chance to ride 6x but only got 4 songs. So smooth and fun.

Can’t wait to go!

honestly great job to point out to keep looking where they want you to look, after having ridden this a few times that’s rlly how it is and i’ve gotten nauseous trying to look around

I rode this 2 days ago, but my eyes are closed the whole time as Im so scared… but apart from missed the screen, I enjoyed the ride! 😂🥰⭐️🚀

Been waiting for your review

Which song from the 3 you experienced is the best that goes with the ride?

It's sad that the UK never invests much in any particular ride. As far as I know the Smiler is the most expensive coaster at £18M, which compared to $45M for a big coaster like X2, and $300M for hagrids, just seems ridiculous. Alton Tower's new indoor RMC dark ride apparently only has a £10M budget, surely it's going to be terrible.

Everyone wants to rule the world was the best one. My girlfriend even said so! She usually hates roller coasters.

Just rode this ride last weekend, it's bad ass.

I rode it twice today best ride i have been on so far. I can update once i go universal and HS and AK

I went on when it played the tears for fear song and that was just perfect

The finale of this ride seems like a homage to CHAOS at Opryland (and the EU version that's still standing) with the helix descents around a round visual in the center.

About time Epcot got a rollercoaster of its own.

My sister (who rides all sorts or rollercoasters) says that this ride is the best she has ever ridden

This is SUCH a dope ride to be from a Disney park. I would have to say that star wars and this are the best yet

I'm excited to ride this one. I was hoping for something a little more intense; maybe something in line with The Mummy, but it's Disney so I get it. The que and show building are the only things I'm disappointed about. Once i ride it i'm sure i'll love it.

0:38 Arthur is the first omni-mover coaster. It has control spinning and opened in 2014

The absolute best ride i’ve ever done

Rode it with tears for fears and a flock of seagulls. Both fantastic songs. The group I rode both time with all agreed years for fears is perfect!

Best Disney coaster for sure. One of the best rides in general at a Disney park in general. At WDW, Rise is tied for me, but they offer completely different experiences.

If you’ve been on it, what is this compared to Madagascar Mad Pursuit @ Motiongate?

2:30 I would actually say that it would fit better at Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland than Hollywood Studios

Went to Disney last month with friends, and we got 3 amazing rides on this! Went in spoiler-free, and wow. It was so awesome, like Space Mountain turned up to 1000! Hard to describe tbh. We got One Way or Another and Conga, so both of the fastest songs, and I think they were great fits for the speed of the coaster. Curious about how the slowest song, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, would feel, I agree that seems like an "off" choice based on tempo. I was lucky enough to get the front car and back car (back second to last row) and I thought the back was better than the front. Not a coaster expert, just a Disney fan so take that for what you will. (Also: yep, definitely not a spinning coaster, and that's a good thing. I have trouble with rapid spinning things, but this just rotates slowly to show you the parts of the story so I had no issues with it 😊)

My last (and also my first ever) visit to Epcot was Sept. 2021. Right before Remy & Guardians opened. I may have a reason to return. Time to give ElToro Ryan a call at 10:27

This ride is the G.O.A.T.

Hey Taylor I egee and I understand what you mean your awesome and you do some great reviews . And I mostly like to listen to hip hop music but the songs that you said that you like I also love those songs to I like other pop artists like Justin Bieber Aron Carter and many more those songs are fire 🔥 and really cool and really nice stay safe.

Yes to having to look where they want you to to avoid sickness 😅 Also row 5 is the most tame!

Are you able to film with a GoPro on this ride?

I was lucky to get one ride on it with my 3 friends. We got tears for fears and I think it was perfect. We boarded during a storm and walking out to a beautiful sunset to a reservation and fireworks show! Unanimous favorite. I wish Disney had more thrilling rides, at least one six flags level ride. RMC??? Lol

this is my top favorite disney ride in general. that's why i put the ride in my imaginary disney park, called disneyland florida, in tomorrowland as a gateway to avenger's campus the same way guardians of the galaxy: mission breakout was in disney california adventure before it went from being part of hollywood land to being part of avengers campus

The songs change the experience? In what way?

I don’t think the majority of the GP will think about those reasons it doesn’t make sense while riding. They’ll notice charters but not say “hey, Nova Prime Is dead” or “Groot should be small” etc. They’ll simply enjoy the ride for what it is. While I’m sure many are fans of the IP most aren’t Marvel or coaster enthusiasts.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World is the BEST song, it fits the theme and flows along with the smooth track

I Ran (So Far Away) makes this ride a solid 10

so arthur at europa park is a suspended spining coaster? that's a very weird way to put it

Everybody wants to rule the world is the absolute best song to get…was also in the GOTG videogame

Living on the West Coast, Disney World isn't exactly next door but my wife and I do make the trip down to Florida occasionally (most recently in January 2021 while Disneyland was still shut down.) I generally like Epcot, but aside from a restaurant or two in World Showcase I think my wife would generally prefer to skip the park entirely when we go, or limit it to a half day and park hop later on. It's a physically very large park with a lot of space between attractions, so spending an entire day there can be physically demanding. Adding some new rides (this and the Ratatouille ride) will definitely make the park more appealing though.

I got Everybody Wants to Rule the World! It was incredible! I actually may have liked it more than One Way or Another?

It was impressive idea.

Do you know if the boarding group system will be taken away eventually

As someone who has live in Florida my whole life, I love both Disney and Universal. I have to say, over the past 15 years or so, a lot has been added to both. The Disney park additions have been nice, I've enjoyed them, but some of the things Universal has added, all the Hogwarts/Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, Hagrid's, Velicicoaster have completely blown me away. This Guardians ride looks like a lot of fun and a much needed addition to Epcot, but it just doesn't feel as grandiose as the Universal additions. And that's a shame. Disney has the resources to make rides other parks just can't afford to do. For once I want Disney to create something that completely blows me away and makes me want to experience it hundreds of times.

You had a point with Nova Prime not being alive after the first movie. But also Charlie, Delta and Echo (Velociraptors) from Jurassic World were not alive after JW I. But do appear on VelociCoaster. But I guess to make a "fair" assumption that the events of "Cosmic Rewind" and "VelociCoaster" are during or before the events of their respective movie.

1:38 best song and best band and litterly no one can disagree with me. Fight me

I think Disney would be better off just opening the stand by line for brand new coasters than them use virtual queue. It would allow people who actually want to ride the chance to go hardcore and get it. Or if they want to pay they could get the Fastpass or the Gene thing or whatever it is now, and skip part of the line. Compared to the virtual queue, where people could go hardcore to try to get on it only to not get a pass. People come to the park for these rides, and if they don’t get it than they will feel ripped off. This would likely mean that they are less likely to come back in the future.

Hey Taylor are you gonna go to Disneyland Paris on july 20 for the new iron man coaster

8:49 The first backward launch in a Disney Park is on Big Grizzly Mountain at Hong Kong Disneyland

Nova Prime survived the battle of Xandar. Judging by the fact that she's in it and we have the adult Groot instead of baby or teenager Groot I'm guessing that it is set after the events of Avengers Endgame.

I am a bit bias having loved GOTG and really enjoying the Eternals but i gotta say this is perhaps one of the best 3 new rides in the last 30 years - Indiana Jones at DL & Radiator Springs at DL being the other 2. This ride is like Space Mountain 2.0. The preshow with Glenn Close was awesome. Seeing the GOTG was great though I do question what part of the timeline this takes place with Adult Groot and no Mantis. The building facade and a lack of animatronics did take away from it but overall the ride itself was amazing. The ride music was perfect along with the coaster track. I would say i enjoyed this ride more then Smugglers Run and Rise of the Resistance. Almost a perfect 10.

Front row is easily the best on Cosmic Rewind. It is difficult to follow the story, but it’s seriously worth it

Just looks like a space mountain retheme

thx for telling me to sit in the front i'll keep that in mind

this would be a great battle with Hyper spacemountain

good video

Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom is the most expensive roller coaster. Can’t wait to go on Cosmic Rewind, Epcot really needed this attraction. It will stay busy until Tron opens up at Magic Kingdom. I honestly thought Tron would be better at Epcot though and this at Tomorrowland. 🤷‍♀️

No spacey song selection on a space themed rollercoaster?

For being a Disney coaster, it’s intense.

This was easily my favorite ride when I visited a week ago. Although I do think Rockn Roller Coaster would be my favorite but it was closed when we went. Only thing I was bummed about was we got everybody wants to rule the world which made it feel slow but overall great ride 20/10

When Epcot was being built, there was a concept for a Mount Fuji-themed roller coaster in the Japan pavilion. Sadly, that idea never got past the concept stage.
