Which song do you want playing when you ride this?

Love the "recording of any type is strictly prohibited" moment at 11:48 followed immediately by everyone recording the rest of the ride

"First there was cake, and now there is toast. This plan is making me hungry." Love it! What a big change from Universe of Energy. Impressive stuff.

FINALLY! A fly through with “September!”

You were behind us! Thank you for posting! We just got to watch our first ride all over again! Hahaha.

At the end of the ride, Quill says "Every Person Comes Out Tired" (EPCOT) :)

Ive been waiting for the POV with September playing!! This is my hope that when I ride this it will be that song!! Just seems so fun!!

So impressed with how well they fit this ride to EPCOTs theme- gotta admit I was worried but they killed it

The music, as always with the Guardians, is amazing

Wow. I'm actually very impressed. This is a very solid ride. I was skeptical of its theme & location in Epcot but it really worked for me. :)

Tom, WDWNT always has the best videos and coverage. I've watched other previews from different KZfaqrs where they do nothing but yap away, have bad footage and are just annoying. WDWNT is the best. Thank You very much.

Just had the opportunity to ride it! Story and pacing wise it is a complete mess, but its beautiful organized chaos and I absolutely love it. It's such a fun ride!

Whee!! You got "September!" Love that song! 😄Looks like so much fun!! Thank you!

I was not expecting celestials to be involved! This makes me even more excited, and clearly whatever that scene at the end of externals was is even bigger than we thought! Also, terry crews!

Nobody would ride Space Mountain after this cause this is what Space Mountain should look like. Much more immersive and really looks like you're in space with all the set pieces and projections.

Ride Script Rocket: Okay we are heading for the jump-point. This plan is never gonna work. Starlord: ROCKET!!! Rocket: well? Starlord: Okay We've locked onto your signal. Gamora:We will be right behind you. Rocket:Nothing to worry about. Drax:Unless we can not stop this unusually large man. Then we are likely doomed. Gamora: DRAX!!! All: Good luck! Rocket: Your gonna need it. Eson: It was useless to follow me. What is that noise!?!?!? Starlord: Noise? No ones gonna stop rock and roll from existing. Eson: What have you done... Starlord: What have we done. Gamora: I think were jumping back. --EXTENDED AUDIO-- (Only plays when stuck during this segment) Gamora: All the way back. Starlord: All the way. To the big bang!?!??! Gamora: 95% Certain Rocket: That means theres a 5% chance we are just in a tunnel. Starlord: A tunnel in space!?!?!? Drax: Its more weirder than it seems. ---Back to normal audio-- Gamora: All the way Rocket: Oh crud... Drax: Was that the ding dang? Starlord: THE BIG BANG!!! Gamora: We have to catch that generator.Its the only way back. Rocket: There it is!!! Rocket: We got the generator. WERE RICH!!!! Eson: You have no idea how to use this. Rocket: Oh yeah? We'll see about that! Gamora: Rocket get us back. ----Sometimes she says Gamora: ROCKET GET US HOME!!!! Back to normal audio---- Rocket: UHH this things more complicated than i thought... Ya know what would be great? A Instruction manual. Eson: I WILL D E S T R O Y YOU. Rocket: Yeah yeah we get that all the time. Starlord: Rocket anytime. Rocket: OKAY!!!! Rocket: Let me try this? Rocket: The milky way just formed... Drax: I hate milk. It gives me gas. Rocket: Quill were here. Starlord: Its about time! Drax: Of course its about time have you not been paying attention? Nova Corps: Nova team Raise your star blasters. Nova Corps: We have him contained but not for long. Eson: My world... WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT. Rocket: Yeah well nobody's perfect just look at quill! Starlord: HEY!!! Gamora: Were back locking coordinates for Epcoat Starlord: its EPCOT!!! Rocket: Epcot? Who names these things? --EXTENDED AUDIO-- (Only plays when stuck during this segment) It stands for Every Person Gets out tired. ---BACK TO NORMAL AUDIO---- Rocket: REMIND ME TO RAISE OUR RATES!!! Groot: Iam Groot ____This part has 2 Different audios that play randomly.____ Audio 1 Gamora: Thanks Terrans. Starlord: Welcome to the Guardians of the Galaxy. Drax: We have no room on our ship for these people. Starlord: Drax its an honorary title. We are not bringing them onto our ship. Drax: Oh i see its meaningless Drax: Oh well then WELCOME to the guardians of the galaxy. Drax: Now wheres that cake toast. AUDIO 2 Starlord: You're all heros. Drax: You think they should be called heros? Did you see how they dress? Rocket: HAH Gamora: Its just a figure of speech drax... Drax: Oh we are lying to them NOW I UNDERSTAND HAH HAH HAHHHHHH All: Welcome to the Guardians Of The Galaxy. --The End--

@WDW News Today 18:26 Drax says "is that the Ding Dang?" And Star Lord corrects "The Big Bang"

Rode it yesterday!! AMAZING!! The song was Blondie "One Way or Another". It was about how I expected it to be except I didn't think it would spin like that...my stomach was like UHHHH WhaaaaT?? It was super fun though.

Wow, the queue and pre-show area are truly beautiful, and have a very "Old EPCOT" feel. And the ride experience looks like it would be fun even for those like me who aren't into the movies. The only concern is the number of bright, flashing lights. The first one would probably blind me and make me miss the rest of the show.

Great job, Tom. It looks like a lot of FUN! Thanks for bringing us along…

Excellent ride video.... Thanks, Tom!

Rode it today, it was great. I understand the story better now watching it back again.

Universe of Energy may be Lost but it's not forgotten. Great Work Epcot on GOTG:CR.

THANKS for the great walk thru the queue!

WDW News, I wish the end of the ride and the exit did'nt look so much like a Subway railway station. But apart from that it might be a good ride. Cheers, Chris Perry.

Great review, great ride. Cannot wait for October.

18:03 Feel the flow, here we go, it's the Universe of Energy!

Thats gotta be one of the longest pre-shows yet..

11:12 “Epcoters…Epcotians…citizens of Epcot!”

I love the September POV!! 18:19

FINALLY! A reason to go to Epcot. This looks amazing.

The Michael Kay sighting in the end is the best part. Dinosaurrrrrrr

I can’t wait to go to that ride I love Epcot center and I love the guardians of the galaxy.

So sad i couldnt ride it when i was there 4/4-4/14 😫 thanks for the video!! So cool!

That was cool can’t wait to ride it!

I can’t wait to see it and I want it

I can't wait to ride

Definitely going to be a classic

i haven't been to epcot since 1998 .....

Can anyone tell me what the ride lines were like before fast passes in the 90s and 80s? I remember waiting in I think a 2 hour line for Big Thunder Mountain when I was 6 during Christmas 1986, but maybe that long line was just because it was Christmas.

Waiting in the pre q is like waiting for my pittza,to defrost in the micro wave .. so sad

Disney is getting way, way too good at the insanely impressive queues. That teleportation trick is AWESOME!

I know a lot of people will say this is like Space Mountain, but it reminds me more of a ride in Opryland called Chaos.

Incredible ride. And cue

I watch all of the POVs now just to see what song they get. 🤣💞🎶 -Aimee

So it’s like an upgraded space mountain

Holy cow!!! That looked REALLY FUN. And September is one of my favorite songs!!

21:21 is my favorite part

Wow looks amazing

i have drawn part of a map of disneyland florida (because the disney park in orlando is not a disneyland) and guardians of the galaxy: cosmic rewind is there, on the side of tomorrowland that connects to avengers campus (which has web slingers: a spider-man adventure, iron man experience, avengers assemble: flight force and whatever the quinjet ride in the disney california adventure avengers campus will be called, and that is only the rides since i don't talk about the restaurants and shows). tomorrowland also has the peoplemover, called the tomorrowland tour tram (lol try saying that 10 times fast) that goes around or through most of the other rides, autopia, which doesn't have a rail on the road, but it doesn't need it since the cars are in single file lines and don't drive next to each other like at disneyland, buzz lightyear's astro blasters, which is themed to the lightyear movie rather than the toy story version of buzz lightyear; disneyland florida has toy story land in its 2nd theme park so it isn't necessary, tron lightcycle run, space mountain, the disneyland version but it uses two tracks, increasing capacity even further and astro orbiter, which is on the ground instead of on the roof of the peoplemover. i only drew a part of the map since fantasyland and toontown are very big and sit on the far right of the park. tomorrowland and avengers campus are on the left of the park

Wait this looks so familiar 🤔......oh yeah hyperspace mountain!!!!

Which is better for this ride front, middle, or back car?

Looks awesome

SONG LIST In Order of Best Fit For the Ride 1. Disco Inferno (Burn Baby Burn) by The Trammps 🕺 This song is from the 70s, and it's a groovy and hilarious choice for the ride which is very on brand for the Guardians franchise. The lyrics are a word play tying into the theme of the big bang, and the energy is high! This is the kind of song they would've used if this was a scene in a Guardians movie. 2. One Way or Another by Blondie 🏃‍♀️Fastest song on the ride!! I love that the speed of this song matches the high speed of the coaster. And the lyrics match the theme the closest because the Guardians are trying to get the get the cosmic generator back. 3. Conga by Gloria Estefan💃Okay, hear me out! This is the funniest song on the ride just because of how unexpected it is! I laughed my butt off when I heard the horn intro blare through the speakers 😂 The humor alone is very on brand for the franchise and is why this song deserves to be above the next 3. 4. September by Earth, Wind & Fire 🔥 Okay, this song is the banger of all bangers. It's super upbeat, it's a 70's staple and everyone loves it. It's on the second half of the list because the theming doesn't match all that much, but who cares when you can vibe out and sing along to every word?! 🙌 5. Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears - This song is an 80s classic and it's a vibe! There are some connections to the theming of the ride, but the energy is way too low and doesn't match the intensity of the coaster. 6. I Ran by A Flock of Seagulls - I'm sure there will be a lot of guests who appreciate hearing this song come on, but I felt that the energy and theming were not a good match for the ride. Reply with your favorite!

8:00 are those the old doors to enter the UoE ride vehicle loading area?

rocket: "its about time" drax: "of course its about time have you not been paying attention" 😭😭😭

18:19 September is heard in Cosmic Rewind!

May have to take a Dramamine before I get on ride next time I'm at Epcot since I don't see myself going before this opens.

This is what California Adventure needed! Not some half assed overlay to an iconic ride. I actually would love to experience this firsthand.

awesome!

Man feel like Boston's Don't Look Back would have been a good song choice for this hahaa!

Wow, the ride felt way too short considering how long the queue is!

From Universe of Energy to Space Mountain 2.0 LOL

Tom, did you place 3D glasses over your camera?

How is it so empty?! Thank u!!!

The music is random? Awesome

I hope I will ride this one day

COSMIC REWIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

watching Micheal Kay at the end gives me second hand embarrassment Tom idk how you didn’t laugh at him

Not convinced about this ride yet.

There’s no gift shop exit?!

So jealous I never see myself getting to Disney these days

That end coaster ride brought me so much joy hearing everyone whooping and hollering. Thanks for the great recording.

Queue and preshow were cool. We couldn't make out much of the actual ride. How was it?

I never went on universe of energy, but I have a feeling what i had experienced was much better

lots for space to wait for what? looks like I wont be doing that ride -- stairs and I dont get along.

I just wish the boarding area was different it’s basically identical to web slingers

What is that other guy from resort TV?

What? No exit through the gift shop??😁

I know it's hard, but I wish someone had a low-light camera. You basically can't see much except the screens during the entire POV.

I still don't understand why this is in Epcot? It just doesn't fit in thematically. Should be in Disney's Hollywood Studios.

does it go from 0-60 at any point? like how the hulk or rockin roller coaster is? we're going next weekend and i just want to make sure my nephew isnt going to freak out LOL

Ride Start 17:20

Wow it’s short

So i guess the music changes?

What I think Disney should do for these more recent IP drops in EPCOT is instead of dedicating individual pavilions or areas to IP, they should integrate them into each existing pavilion. Each IP drop would act as an example of Disney products or pop culture and its interpretation of that area of science and technology for that pavilion and the role it has played in advancing culture’s awareness of that field. For example. EPCOT currently has a space pavilion (mission space) which acts as a truly EPCOT example of displaying and allowing others to experience the technologies and emerging ideas of space travel. In the case of Guardians of the Galaxy, this could act as an IP example for the space pavilion, displaying pop culture’s interpretation of space technology in the movie and educating the viewer about how the ideas brought about in IP could help to inspire future technologies and generations. A short preshow film could describe this and tie the IP in and then the ride could just be a Guardians of the Galaxy ride with no need for further tie-ins to EPCOT. This model would allow Disney to happily integrate IP for every Future World Pavilion while also retaining EPCOT’s ideas of technology, edutainment, the future, and inspiration for all. World of Motion could become home to test track and IP such as Star Wars and all the examples of possible new transportation technologies that could emerge in future decades from those movies. As mentioned previously, the Space Pavilion could be home to mission space and the guardians of the galaxy. They could reconstruct the queue building behind the current space pavilion and redivert the launch tunnel to the roller coaster. The Universe of Energy could be reinstated and then become home to an IP example such as Fantasia where you discuss examples of energy seen in scenes such as bald mountain. The Living Seas could reinstate the educational dark ride and then tie in IP such as 20,000 leagues or Nemo or the little mermaid and discuss the diversity and fragility of the world’s oceans. The land could be home to living with the land, soarin’, and IP like Pocahontas or Moana. The Imagination pavilion could be home to journey into imagination and IP like alice and wonderland where you could discuss the impact of Disney animation and the whimsical creativity and imagination found in the movie on the liberal arts. Even the health pavilion could be re-instated and integrate IP like inside out where you discuss the impact of mental health and balancing emotions. Pleace feel free to let me know what you think about this idea. I really think it would benefit the Disney visitor and Disney in regards to EPCOT and IP.

No recording beyond this point.... sneaky sneaky

Was that Glenn Close in the pre-show?

It would be cool if there was a secret where if you asked a cast member a certain question, they could change the song that plays to the universe of energy song

Skip to 9:31 for video intro for ride 11:10 Comedian Terry Cruise

My name is craig Dennis I watch your videos very day and how is the new galaxy ride in epot i in joy all of your videos all the time 👍👍👍

That looks exciting! But, it looks like this attraction belongs in Hollywood Studios, not EPCOT.

Its ok but can be better quie more things and the mapping of the vidio is still off

EVERY PERSON COMES OUT TIRED!

I can’t wait! I go 5/10/22!!!

What if the did Broadway

Wait is that terry cruz lmao

Where does this ride take place on the MCU timeline? Groot is an adult so it would seem to be during the first movie, but they are also on good terms with the Xandarians which didn't happen until after Groot sacrifices himself. But, that woman Xandarian mentions Groot giving his life for the other Guardians, so this must take place in the future MCU when baby Groot has grown up?

Isnt xander gone now🧐 lolol

I was really excited for this ride. Normally I don’t like pre existing properties in Epcot, but Epcot definitely needed some thrill rides for the part too. Also at least we no longer have Ellen Degeneres either.
