It's easily my favorite ride at Disney World. But I wouldn't call it a beginning coaster. Overall it's pretty tame as there aren't any huge drops or inversions or anything like that. But you are in a dark room, so there are times you don't know which way you are about to turn.

Obviously, you can be different but I would say that Cosmic Rewind is pretty tame. It's really smooth and just feels like you are floating in space. The only part that stuck out to me as a bit intense is the part right after the launch with the lights. But that section is less than a second.

On most rides you can either place the backpack on the ride car floor, behind and between your legs, and you will be just fine. I did this all last week with a string backpack and had no problems. I even rode on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind with the bag, and no issues!
