The main entrance to EPCOT's Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind looks very close to completion as crews continue to add finishing details.

Landscaping and fencing surround the Starblaster, which we expect to be home to Guardians of the Galaxy character appearances.

The Nova Corps Starblaster continues to be worked on, with testing underway overnight on the lighting package and a few touch-ups still being completed.

A couple of different wait times clocks and entries are visible at the main entrance, along with the Magic Band touchpoints.

Disney has not yet given any opening date despite the rapidly approaching summer season. Based on comments from a high-ranking Disney Executive on social media, we expect to see a Memorial Day opening. If that date holds, previews could begin very shortly.

Hopefully I won't need it, but expect to be hearing from me otherwise!

If it isn’t, I’ve figured out the trick to pretty much guaranteeing a boarding group if you need it

Probably because GotG doesn't actually spin. It's turned and held in place so when you spiral down you're always facing the planet, for example.

Yes. By July 2031. 😁

Anyone have any idea as to whether this will be off Virtual Queue by July? It seems crazy for it to remain on VQ for so long.

You're lucky. My experiences on GotG have gone downhill. First ride in September 2022, I felt OK after riding. Every subsequent ride has resulted in my feeling increasingly nauseous, with the noted exception of my last ride where I basically closed my eyes after launch and entering the gravity building. I have no desire to ever ride it again because A) what's the point in riding something just to have to close your eyes to not be sick, and B) it's.... not that good to begin with. :cautious:

Same for me except reversed. I was a tad bit nauseous after crush but with GotG I am fine. At least now I am. The first time or two on GotG I did get disorientated during the launch but after a couple of runs this no longer happens.

HauntedPirate16 days ago

They felt totally different to me, except for the nauseous feeling after exiting the ride vehicle. Which quite honestly was much less after riding Crush than GotG, despite a much higher amount of actual spinning vs. the forced turning.

I gotta say….. I just rode the crush coaster at Disney studios and it felt just like cosmic rewind. Like to a crazy extent. Not sure if that price tag was worth it haha.
