New Images Surface for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Roller Coaster at Walt Disney World

Although new construction (and crowd capacity) has slowed down at Walt Disney World in Florida, not everything has come to a halt, as it seems like those rebellious Guardians of the Galaxy are moving forward with their new roller coaster, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.

Imagineer Zach Riddley posted a new picture of the ride vehicles and the track, which may not be near completion, but these images are encouraging for Marvel and roller coaster fans.

Here is an exclusive sneak peek of two of our ride engineers as they prep some of EPCOT’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind vehicles at our warehouse in Florida. If you look closely at the colorful paint design on the vehicles (called coaches in roller coaster engineering parlance), each one is unique with different wear patterns and impact marks. Imagineers were inspired by markings that appear on NASA Space Shuttles and other spacecraft upon reentry into Earth’s atmosphere. We can’t wait to share more on this truly out-of-this-world, awesome attraction as we make progress on construction and put these coaches on the track!

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind was originally scheduled to be open at Epcot in time for Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary in 2021. There haven’t been any new announcements regarding the opening date of the attraction, but it could certainly be delayed until 2022 (which just happens to be Epcot’s 40th anniversary).
