The story of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
The project formed part of EPCOT’s broad transformation, bringing the park its first roller coaster and a new landmark for the World Discovery neighbourhood. disneyexperiences.com· coasterpedia.net
For its designers, the principal achievement lay in adapting the old Omnimover idea to a fast steel course. Each vehicle could turn under control, presenting a chosen view while the railway continued at speed. thewaltdisneycompany.com
The finished attraction opened at EPCOT on May 27, 2022. It introduced a reverse launch to the park and brought the great enclosed structure into service after the long work of the EPCOT renewal. disneyexperiences.com· coasterpedia.net
Its scale was considerable even by Florida standards: the building covers more than 200,000 square feet, while the reported construction estimate reached five hundred million dollars. thewaltdisneycompany.com· gulfnews.com
