The new Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Holiday Remix made its debut this morning as part of EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays.

The holiday overlay to the hugely popular Cosmic Rewind rollercoaster replaces the classic 80’s tunes with an original holiday music arrangement. The song features parts of "Run Run Rudolph" with new wording to "Run Run Rocket." Other holiday tunes that are part of the remix include "Jingle Bells," "Deck the Halls," "Go Tell It on the Mountain," and "We Wish You A Merry Christmas." No changes have been made to the pre-show or projections inside the ride.

Take a listen to the new soundtrack at the video below. (4K YouTube)

You can experience the Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Holiday Remix through December 30, 2022. Only the new soundtrack will be available during the holiday season, with the original playlist returning after the holidays.

Cosmic Rewind will be part of the hold celebrations at EPCOT

The existing Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind song list is:

"Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears
"Conga" by Gloria Estefan
"I ran (so far away)" by a Flock of Seagulls

Probably worst case scenario. BG 40 is usually called around 10:30am, so typical return window ends at 11:30am. But they don't enforce return windows anyways, so it's just all semantics lol.

I have BG 40 and when they called me this morning the app said to return by 2pm. I wonder if it's going to close early today. If not why did they choose 2pm?

Possibly a mistake, but they just called 79 BGs in a span of 8 minutes during the initial wave at park opening at 8:45am. ^my phone clock is central time fyi

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.

HauntedPirate28 days ago

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.

HauntedPirate28 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.

Blasphemy! 😂

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.
