Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is in World Discovery at EPCOT and opened on 27 May 2022. It is one of the largest fully enclosed roller coasters in the world. According to Disney, it has the first backwards launch on a Disney coaster.
The concept
You first visit the Galaxarium, a kind of planetarium from the planet Xandar. Then things go wrong and you are called upon to help the Guardians of the Galaxy. Together with Rocket, Groot, Gamora and Star-Lord, you race through space and back in time.
The Experience
The vehicles rotate 360 degrees, so you are always facing the action. After the backwards launch, you shoot through the darkness, past planets and stars, to the beat of the music. According to rcdb, the track is around 1,700 metres long and you reach about 97 km/h.
