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.

Short answer: Yes, the indoor coaster is wildly fun, and it's a fantastic addition to Epcot and Walt Disney World as a whole.
The ride has no straight drops, but there are some areas where the track is curved so you're turning down (while the seat rotates keeping you facing the same way). It does not go upside down.
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.
Cosmic Rewind has “omnicoaster” ride vehicles that can rotate 360 degrees. The rotations are programmed so the ride isn't freely spinning. That being said, people prone to motion sickness might feel a little queasy after.
It's simultaneously thrilling, family-friendly, genuinely funny, and visually stunning. And, for what it's worth, I rode it three times in a row and did not get motion sickness, even though ride vehicles rotate as they glide along the track.
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 – 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.
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!
