Imagineer Zach Riddley has shared some close-up photos of the latest piece of theming to be installed on the 'Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind' building at EPCOT.

In a post on Instagram, Zach said, "Today, the first sign of Xandar’s arrival to EPCOT appeared at the Wonders of Xandar pavilion. Xandar and the Nova Corps are coming to EPCOT to share their culture and technology and this star is frequently used by them in everything from their architecture, spaceships, uniforms and more. This very unique color shifting material gives a dynamic quality to the main facade of the pavilion and represents another iconic milestone as our team continues toward a Summer 2022 launch of this new centerpiece of our EPCOT transformation."

Honestly, this is my favorite ride anywhere.

Still think it works best with the beginning of the theme starting just as you hit the "portal..." You'd think that with the merch they could sell just on October 1st every year this would be a no-brainer for them...

Both. But funny because if there's an unspoken thing that every 9/21 it only plays that song, but Disney never acknowledges it, that's hilarious. Explaining jokes doesn't often make them better.

Starting at 1:27; Concurrently when Eson says "what is that noise?" Aligns with 0:27 here... again, just all instrumental, in a slightly higher key, and sped up... )

Here’s the clearest recording It plays when you see the ship right before the launch for two bars. It’s up-tempo compared to the original recording. Again it’s all instrumental, but you can almost hear the guitar vocalizing ‘Here we go, feel the flow, through the universe of energy!’

If you say so. I watched several videos and honestly can't tell.

That's really good. However, I watched several videos with existing songs. There is a different loop as you go into the reversal chamber. The song starts as soon as you propel backwards. Then the chosen song continues to play as you enter the exit area all the way to the disembark zone. So maybe push it back a little bit and have it start as soon as you propel backwards and see how it comes out.

Oh my word. That's the most magnificent thing I've seen in a long time. The musical arrangement fits the track layout perfectly. If this is the same plan for the coaster that would have just been a "Big Bang" theme with no IP, this must have been the plan.

I didn’t realize they had more than one song. (Sarcasm). I’ve ridden 11 times outside of Christmas (Run Run Rockit) and heard September 7 times and Rule the World 4 times. 2! Songs in 11 rides!

If Spaceship Earth goes down like what current rumors say, I'd say 'probably' so that it can start eating people better.

Yes. And it's CRAZY accurate! I don't think it a coincidence. It needs to happen! https://www.youtubemultiplier.com/66e368dac8bb1-universe-of-synergy-gotg.php
