The upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind roller coaster at EPCOT will be no exception, because Disney World has revealed the full track list for the ride’s soundtrack. Islands of Adventure’s VelociCoaster is currently open and operating, while Epcot’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind officially opens on May 27th.The Guardians of the Galaxy movies are known for their “Awesome Mix” soundtracks, featuring amazingly curated classic rock songs. So, really I have to ask: Are you a thrill person or are you just in for a Marvel-ous ride? If you can answer that question, you have solved the puzzle for your own self and family. Even Bryce Dallas Howard has confirmed the thrills! Guardians wants Marvel fans to have a memorable storyline and give riders a fun, family-friendly experience with one very cool kickoff moment that will be remembered later. The two rides have overlap audiences, but aren't fully competing for the same parkgoers, as the VelociCoaster really wants to set your heart racing and give you amped up experiences you’ve never seen on a coaster before. The good news? Both of these coasters are wicked cool and a whole lot of fun, so it’s really mostly a matter of preference. Given both coasters feature one Chris Pratt, comparisons were bound to be apt. (Image credit: Jessica Rawden) So VelociCoaster Versus Cosmic Rewind: Which Is Better? The ride will also likely open on May 27th to multiple-hour lines, even with a virtual queue for the Guardians-centric ride, which at this point will be much longer than the VelociCoaster wait times, which have died down a bit.
Maybe some people feel like that's more bang for your buck, but I don't. I do think the pre-show, while great, has a similar problem to Flight of the Passage in that after the first time you ride it feels like it does go on. Cosmic Rewind is also similar to Space Mountain, and while I do feel it differentiates itself via its more intricate storyline and fun features, it doesn’t feel like it’s totally breaking barriers and reinventing the wheel for Disney coasters, minus its very cool reverse launch (that part's a definite pro). On the other hand, this coaster is more “fun” than it is thrilling. It earns points for accessibility, given that somewhat younger riders seeking fun can give it a try.
You don’t fundamentally have a different experience between day and night, but the ride won't have as many inclement weather issues as an outdoor coaster, which is a definite pro. Pros and Cons: Cosmic Rewind is fully set inside (good news: air conditioning), and essentially the way it chooses to differentiate the experience each time is through its mixtape of six songs, some of which are more fun than others. The song component is a fun addition, and this isn’t a coaster that is for thrill-seekers only, with many people, myself included, describing it as a “medium” coaster. Pithy dialogue, much of it coming from Dave Bautista's Drax and Chris Pratt's Star-Lord, is involved. You end up kicking off the ride in a different direction than you end in and the coaster also shifts and swerves to give riders the best vantage point of the action, which mostly shows off the Guardians saving humanity. The Actual Ride: You’ve probably heard that Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is the first reverse launch coaster and it’s as cool as it sounds. It’s a superior coaster, and since it opened during the pandemic already, line times are not as long as they once were. It’s an enlivening way to ride, but that’s also true in the day, when you can see how close you are to the water on the barrel roll or high up you are during the ride’s crowning peaks. It feels literally like you are fleeing from a dino in the dark. At night, you can’t see what twists and turns and loops are coming.

Then again, once you are close to the front of the line, the load time feels quick and constantly moving (more on this later).Īlternatively, however, one massive pro of the VelociCoaster is that it is a completely different experience when you ride it at night versus during the day. The pre-show on the VelociCoaster is nice and there's plenty to look at, but there's less of a storyline than for the coaster I'll talk about next. The ride is also outside, which means in bad weather it must shut down. The waist harness makes for a great ride, but it’s easy to see why those height safety restrictions are in place. There’s no harness around your shoulders, which is also notably scary for some riders.
Pros and Cons: Obviously if you have littles who love thrills, the height restriction could potentially be a major con.
