EPCOT’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind opens May 27, what we know

It’s now official. Disney World’s newest coaster, Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind opens May 27, 2022, at EPCOT and as part of the announcement Disney released a new teaser commercial.

This attraction will be the first coaster attraction at EPCOT, will the first reverse launch on a Disney coaster and will be one of the longest fully enclosed coasters in the world.

The ride vehicles will rotate 360 degrees and will position guests toward the action inside the ride.

But what is known about the ride in general? Here’s what Disney is sharing:

People from the planet Xandar are coming to Earth and creating the first “other-world” showcase at EPCOT – the Wonders of Xandar pavilion. At the pavilion, guests will learn about their culture and discover more how the two world are similar in many ways.

But then, according to the commerical:

• Someone shouts, “This is an SOS from Nova Corps … Our outpost on Earth’s EPCOT is in danger!” The Nova Corps is Xandar’s peacekeeping team serving as protectors of their planet and the broader Andromeda Galaxy, which is where Xandar is located. This must be a Nova Corps officer alerting us to an urgent situation. 
• The Xandarians are at EPCOT, you can see Spaceship Earth is visible outside the window.
• Someone who appears to be a Nova Corps soldier shouts out, “Everything is disappearing!” And, things start to disappear – not in the Thanos snap type of way, but everything zips backward out of existence. 
• Picking up this special transmission is Rocket, Groot and a snoozing Peter Quill, a.k.a. Star-Lord, relaxing between missions. Rocket is absorbed in apparently trying to “fix” Quill’s Awesome Mix tape. Thankfully, Groot is at least paying some passing attention to what’s happening on the screen in front of them and unmutes the volume – just in time to hear a distress call …
• “Help the galaxy – before it’s too late!” the officer urges – and then she, too, disappears … along with Spaceship Earth! Now we have Rocket’s attention.
• Always considering himself the captain of the ship anyway, Rocket promptly takes the controls and decides to blast off for EPCOT. Because, as he says, “It’s save the galaxy time – again.” 

This is where guests will then board the coaster and help the Guardians of the Galaxy – save the galaxy again.
