Disney World's Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Virtual Queue reaches capacity just seconds after opening

Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Virtual Queue and Lightning Lane signs

The Virtual Queue for EPCOT's Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind reached capacity after just 3 seconds on its first day of operation.

1pm. UPDATE: The second release of Virtual Queue at 1pm also reached capacity almost instantly.

Disney decided not to offer a traditional standby line for the new rollercoaster and instead chose to use a Virtual Queue to control entry into the line, along with an Individual Attraction Purchase to access the ride via the Lightning Lane.

Cosmic Rewind opens to all guests today

The Virtual Queue reaching capacity within seconds does not come as a surprise, as a similar situation occurred with Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure.

With the Virtual Queue reaching capacity, the only remaining option is the Individual Attraction Lightning Lane purchase, currently priced at $17 per person. As of writing, the Lightning Lane is currently available but will likely sell out soon.

I saw a youth smoking an actual cigarette instead of a vape recently. I think we are on the right track!
