Guardians of the Galaxy writer and director James Gunn has recently answered a Twitter question about EPCOT'S upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind.

Asked if "ride scenes for GotG: Cosmic Rewind also on the itinerary," Gunn replied with Yes Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at Disneyworld is also on the agenda."

Guardians of the Galaxy construction - March 19 2021

Visible construction at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has slowed in recent times as the majority of the building is now closed up and a handful of the construction team are working on the exterior. Progress on the inside remains uncertain, although we know that the track is in place, and some show scenes are being installed.

The ride was originally expected to open this year, but construction delays due to COVID-19 and subsequent adjustments of budget have seen that opening pushed back to a likely 2022. Disney has not been making any recent mention of any opening timeframe for the ride, or promoting it as part of Walt Disney World's upcoming 50th anniversary.

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
