Disney has shared a sneak peek at Disney’s upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride at Epcot, with Liz Diaz, senior ride development engineer for Disney Imagineering unveiling the load station and Starjumpers for the hotly-anticipated attraction.
Part of the ongoing transformation of Epcot, the ride will be the park’s first rollercoaster, with the attraction also boasting the first reverse launch for a Disney coaster.
In addition to Diaz’s preview, Zach Riddley, portfolio executive at Disney Imagineering, also shared a first look at the coaster station, with a photo shared on Instagram.
“It’s a stunning space – where Epcot guests will get a chance to step aboard a Nova Corps ship and load into their Starjumper vehicles to take off with the Guardians of the Galaxy on a race through time and space,” said Riddley. “Our ride team has been hard at work testing this innovative ride system which we call an omnicoaster. I have had the chance to experience myself, and I can tell you – this is truly unlike anything we’ve ever done! As we get closer to our Summer 2022 opening I’ll be sharing more about the design and the wonderful details that make this experience part of our Epcot story!”
