By some measures, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is on the “more intense” end of the Walt Disney World roller coaster spectrum, but it's not intense by real world roller coaster standards. Nor is it uncomfortable or unpleasant at any point.

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.
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.
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.
Even with spins, rapid turns and a backward launch, the coaster is very smooth. Fans of the Guardians films will enjoy the adventure mixed with funny banter and light-hearted moments. There are many fun references in the queue and ride to EPCOT and Disney in general, as well.
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!
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.
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.
GOTG is an awesome ride and not as intense as RNRC; however, the spinning non-sense on GOTG makes me want to vomit. No other ride makes me feel that way. I love RNRC, but I need Dramamine to do GOTG.
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.
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.
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.
In most cases, guests who have been late to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind have been allowed to ride after scanning their park ticket at the attraction's entrance. Though this may not be the case for every day, especially during the parks' busy seasons.

During the Halloween season, Disney will transform Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout into Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark. Guests who wish to ride the original version will have to do so before 2 p.m.
The attraction's transformation happens later in the afternoon each day. The Collector's Fortress goes dark, alarms sound and special lighting on the exterior of the Fortress alerts guests that something inside has gone awry. Guests may check the Disneyland app or Disneyland.com for the timing of this transformation.
Riders on Cosmic Rewind who experience motion sickness report either nausea or vertigo (or both). Even if you don't feel like throwing up, you may find that the world is spinning a bit when you get off.
