Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! opened at Disney California Adventure® Park on May 27, 2017. The ride used to be The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™. The ride features six drop sequences so you'll experience a variety of drops the first few times you ride it!
Overall milder than Guardians. Tron is somewhere in between what you seem to be ok with or not. Lots of fun. It feels fast, but smoother than Big Thunder and Space Mountain.
It is a bouncing that does bring you out of your seat as you drop (lap belts should be tightened to help minimize this movement). Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout is absolutely a scary ride and just may be too scary for some kids.
Now, guests hear classic rock/pop songs from the Guardians of the Galaxy film soundtrack, and experience one of six drop sequences (meaning the ride should be different the first few times you ride it). The ride itself is shorter, faster and more intense than Tower of Terror was, but it's not a huge change.
Since Disney wanted to keep it family-friendly, Cosmic Rewind isn't as fast as the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster or the TRON coaster, both reaching speeds of around 60 mph. It's faster than Space Mountain which tops out at 27 mph, but it doesn't quite feel as fast as Slinky Dog Dash which reaches 40 mph.
Epcot's first roller coaster, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind offers a handful of other firsts: It's the first Disney Omnicoaster, a ride with rotating vehicles that turn guests toward the action, and it has the first-ever reverse launch for a Disney coaster.
If you're someone who struggles with motion sickness on your run-of-the-mill roller coaster, Cosmic Rewind is like that on steroids. Not only are you being propelled in one direction, but you might also be spinning around at the same time.
TRON does move up and down a fair bit, but there's very little of that “stomach-drop” feeling with your feet leaving the floor. That's for two reasons. The first is that on a Lightcycle your head points down, not your feet. But the bigger reason is that almost all of TRON's rise-and-drop motion includes a turn.
Darkness May Make Guardians Cosmic Rewind Too Scary For Some Kids. The attraction is essentially a coaster that takes place inside a planetarium. If your child has been on Rock N Roller Coaster or Space Mountain and found the dark element of the attraction too scary, this may not be the ride for them.
However, if your 6-year-old is still more comfortable with the Barnstormer vs Space Mountain, you'll want to wait a bit for this one. Due to the rotating, intensity, speed, and darkness, we'd suggest sticking to kids eight and up for this attraction.
