Is the Guardians ride fast?

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.

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!

There are no big drops. The coaster is in the dark and you can't see the track at all times. There's a backward launch and LOTS of speed.

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.

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.

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.

Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind The photo on this ride occurs toward the beginning of the ride. It happens after the reverse launch, as you begin to spin back around to face forward. If you look up and to the right slightly, you will see several suns. You will notice a flash as they snap your photo!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Tall Heights In Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Most Toddlers are not at the 42-inch height requirement, so they won't be able to ride this attraction. If they are, however, this is one of those cases where being tall enough doesn't always mean “ready enough.”

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.
