How good is the Guardians of the Galaxy ride?

Disney got this ride right. The first coaster in EPCOT is something else - a well themed coaster that has a story and music - that is very fast and has cars that spin independently towards the action - truly a must do experience. The coaster was quite fun but be warned it may be intense for younger kids.

Short answer: Yes, the indoor coaster is wildly fun, and it's a fantastic addition to Epcot and Walt Disney World as a whole.

It's a smooth ride, similar in feel to Slinky Dog Dash, with no sudden jerking or bumps. If, like me, you enjoy a lot of the pre-ride queue but are hesitant (make that totally unwilling) to go on the ride itself, there's a chicken exit.

MORE DETAILS

It is fairly fast-paced but if you have been able to tackle any of the other Walt Disney World Resort thrill rides (like Space Mountain or Expedition Everest), you should have no problem helping the Guardians save the day!

Spinning / Direction Unlike the Tilt-A-Whirl or the Teacups, the spinning isn't constant — but there's enough of it that if those rides give you motion sickness, you should be prepared that you might have some with Cosmic Rewind.

MORE DETAILS

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.

There are six different drop sequences in guardians of the galaxy. Is Guardians Mission: Breakout scary?

MORE DETAILS

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.

Depends on how you characterize intensity. Everest it's more bumpy and jerky, with stronger physical forces exerted. Guardians is much smoother, but much more disorienting in the dark with the screens and spinning. Guardians is more intense BY FAR.

MORE DETAILS

It is intense. It's not very scary, however, it is fast, sweeping, and non-stop. It is billed as a “family coaster” and it absolutely is family-friendly, more so than the Guardians of the Galaxy movies themselves. Every kid is different, and you know your child's tolerance level best.

MORE DETAILS

Which seats are the best? If you're concerned about Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind being too intense, request one of the first two rows. That's the least thrilling and jarring. If you want the best seat from a storytelling perspective, anywhere in the middle is going to be ideal.

MORE DETAILS

Guests are limited to one ride per day on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind using the Virtual Queue during regular park hours. This allows as many people as possible an opportunity to ride. However, it is possible to get into the Virtual Queue and also buy an Individual Lightning Lane to ride a second time.

MORE DETAILS

Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout does not go upside down. It does, however, make sudden, steep drops and quick rises throughout the course of the ride, sometimes in darkness. You start the attraction with a FAST ascent, which seems to take a lot of people by surprise.

MORE DETAILS

It is one of the most thrilling rides at Walt Disney World — it's a step above Space Mountain, but not as intense as Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.

MORE DETAILS

If you are prone to sickness, eating something small before riding, and requesting a seat toward the middle (specifically rows 5 and 6) could be helpful. At the end of the day, you know your body best and what is most likely to make you feel sick or get queasy.

MORE DETAILS

Though Cosmic Rewind is a pretty smooth ride, those who are prone to motion sickness may find that this ride exacerbates those symptoms. There are no loops or inversions, but this is a fast roller coaster with rotating cars, which could make some people nauseous.
