i went tonight - this ride is AWESOME!!! It does things that i've never seen done on a coaster before, and when you add in the visual effects...you just have to experience it.
Did you see how they recycled old Mission Space from 1986? DOOOPPPEEEEEE!!!!! We got Conga, what song did you get?
The coaster is just FUN. The queue is fantastic, the music is a great addition, and the coaster is the smoothest coaster I have ever ridden. The coaster feels like you are gliding the entire time. Although it is a long coaster, I didn't want it to end.
To be fair it is brand spanking new so it’s definitely going to smooth
@@aldenweaver8237 To be fair, others coasters were also new and weren’t smooth initially.
I felt at times like I was flying. It was soooo smooth and sooo fun- the moon shot worth the whole thing!
Agree feels like flying at times. You have to ride it to know what it’s like. The first time I wasn’t ready. It was too much. We rode again later and loved it so much it’s our favorite now. Agree front is less intense with regard to motion sickness. Ok for my 12 yr old, not my 6. I would say significantly more intense than space mountain. Because of the turning and weightless. Molly you are 100% right you have to watch out for the beginning. The launch and then up, then down and spin. After that it’s not as bad imho
the only part i don't like is the huge banked turn right after the launch where you feel like you are going to fall to the ground
Best Quote "I've rode the ride five time, For science!" LOL
This is the third Comic Rewind RUclips video I have watched and by far the best!!! The “talk through “ is much better than just watching a ride through and the tips were great. Thanks AJ and Co!!
If you want to get that virtual queue, the sweet spot is 5 seconds prior to the time the boarding passes become available.
I just hope Star Lord, Gamora (and Groot?) do meet and greets near the pavilion
Star Lord: "I can't wait to see Dreamfinder and Figment again!" :-)
Yes they are correct it ALWAYS breaks down. We were so lucky - it only delayed at the very very beginning. It would be a bit scary for some riders- I felt lots of sideways free falling type of feelings- but did feel VERY secure and extremely smooth and visually amazing
Nausea was worse for me on Mission Space than on Cosmic Rewind. This coaster is an absolute blast and I can honestly say one of the best I've ever ridden. I loved it and I'm so glad I got to ride it twice.
I'll be making my dining reservations on friday and watching your videos everyday is just getting me more and more excited. I haven't been since 2013 so it'll be amazing to see all these new changes and rides in person.
Loved the review!!! Super excited for this park & this ride!
Excellent video and review A J !!! I can’t wait !
I did not expect this ride to be so intense. I found it to be WAY scarier than Rock N Rollercoaster.
My curiousity and being a huge fan of the movie made me have to ride this, but as someone who suffers from occasional vertigo and high blood pressure it was not for me and was a mistake. I was very dizzy and had dry heaves for about 30 mins afterwards!
Coming from someone who was terrified of roller coasters before I rode this, it honestly didn't feel that intense at all
Thanks A.J. I can always count on DFB for the newest news.
THIS IS SO AMAZING, I’m so happy to go back and enjoy this new ride 😍😍😍
🥳
If you get motion sick, I highly recommend taking dramamine the night before and the morning of. I learned that from a boat captain and it really helps keeping you from getting sick because the dramamine is already in your system.
Also available for free in First aide Stations, feel free to ask for some. And in case you do? No worries, its a right of passage to get a little sick in World Discovery. In fact, there is a less than savory nickname for the patch of grass directly next to the exits O.O
Epcot 1990: Get in line
Epcot 2022: Wake up at 6am, check the app. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh x32 until you get a reservation. Which may or may not actually result in riding the ride.
This ride is amazing!! Love it! Thanks for the video.
I have to be honest. It crushed me a little bit. I hadn't ridden a coaster in years so this was a re-initiation. Looking forward to going again soon. Great job!!!!
Thank you for the nausea factor info!
I repeat. Granting every AP a free anytime genie plus to this ride would cost Disney nothing but gain so much value from us lol
What an awesome experience!!!!!
Can’t wait to go back and add it to our have to ride routine at WDW ❤
Looks amazing, sorry it wasn't ready in March, maybe I'll get a ride in 10-20 years. :) Good video AJ.
I was ready for Dramamine just watching the video.
🥴
Hands down the best ride! We got to preview it yesterday and it was amazing! Ask to sit in the back!!
LOL I see what you did
I got on Friday and got Conga. Omg that song fits the rides vibe perfectly
Great video 👍🏻 we can’t wait to get to ride this in July 🇬🇧
This ride looks like a ton of fun I'd love to go on it someday.
No new tech, per say. The execution here made it amazing. Taking all the existing tech, moving carts, music, screens and putting it all together...genius!!!
They’ve been having problems with the vehicles (not spinning correctly, spinning non-stop, audio issues and the batteries that power the audio sometimes die mid ride). They also had problems with vehicles coming back to the station facing the wrong way. Be prepared for delays.
Nowadays Disney’s making attractions they can’t even run. ROTR is still breaking down on a daily basis. Hopefully they fix it real soon
@@NinthShinigami I remember flight of passage's preview and it broke down for us. thats why they have the previews. to work out the kinks.
@@chunkylover54 Well, they announced this ride FIVE years ago. Surely they’ve had ample time to work things out but I guess it may take another five for that.
Universal announced, built and opened two coasters in four years while this one was still being built.
@@Shag471 facts. Disney’s taking forever with their construction nowadays
@@NinthShinigami They spread costs over several years. That’s why.
I did the preview on Easter before they showed us the pre shows ..I was blown away..a tad bit of motion sickness but wow is it fun
💃🏼🕺
Love your videos
I love your videos! They are helping me so much plan my future trip to Disney! And I find them entertaining! I would like to make one suggestion. When reviewing rides, if you could include information about the seat/harness and how people of size may feel in the ride, that would be so helpful. I know Disney World used to be one of the BEST parks for people of size, but with some of these new rides, the seats and harnesses are smaller and smaller. Knowing this information ahead of time will relieve some anxiety. I had an experience of having to get off of a ride because my partner and I did not fit on it together. It was humiliating :( Disney did help us out, but the knowledge will help us not have to go through that at all. THANK YOU in advance!
YES important
Check out Adrain Theme Park Express - he just released a video regarding this. He a has ton video about fitting not fitting on rides
@@saraaceves6642 Thank you so much! I appreciate this!
Relevant to Soarin', I know Kronk (real life Kronk) will lead you on a flight, but the seatbelt DOES get snug, so always ask a cast member. Cosmic rewind, for safety reasons, has a center divide (remember when you would ride teacups, and youd squish the outside guy? Well no more!) so it keeps you securely center inter the pull down bar. (I recommend visiting a restroom at 55 minutes to queue time) other rides are boaty, and calm, so you could even lie down if you wanted to. Anyhow, hope this wasnt too late! Have fun!
The main thing I was trying to figure out was whether this would be too much for my wife and kid, who aren't big thrill-seekers. Sadly, it sounds like they'll be passing on it, though I should enjoy it. (Their rule is that Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is the absolute most for them, maybe even a little too much--anything more than that, they're not riding. Space Mountain is right out.)
I like Thunder mountain and seven dwarfs i don’t like space, slinky dog , or Everest. I loved guardians I’ve ridden it 7 times! Its not as intense as it seems i think space is more intense personally!
@@NatSugg I feel like its intensity depends on the song vibe. We got Conga for the first time and it felt like it was CRAZY!!! But we feel the same Gs on Test Track, or even in our car sometimes right? (Maybe I should also slow down? LOL!) but when I watch a recorded walk through of the whole ride? its "Everybody wants to rule the world", or "I Ran" (Which I feel, personally should be replaced with Electric Avenue, since we dont run, we DIVE IN!) and the ride seems CHILL..... really slow like, really easy to keep your head up. with Conga? I know I was laughing but the turns just took hold XD Back on land and my legs went, but I LOVED Space Mountain and Haunted Mansions new baby!!! She's BEAUTIFUL!!! Rebellious though, dramatic when she left Magic kingdom while quoting Woody. "This town isn't big enough!" (HAha, sorry, We went yesterday and I'm still basking in it lol AND the workout I got O.O)
...Okay, labeling Xandar as being a 'country' for World Showcase has to be a creative bit of BSery, I must admit.
I am excited! I ride it tomorrow.
I love what you do
I rode it 3 times and I got different songs I got "everybody rules the world" "conga" and "september" it was awesome can't wait to go again!
oooh Is Terry Cruz going to be in Guardians 3??? Wows..
Also, let me say -- your Audio engineering skills are on point, your mic work is clean. clean.
We were able to ride yesterday.
I would not describe this as a “family” coaster. It is intense!
You are spinning, dipping, diving, and can’t really tell which way is which!
I had motion sickness and dry mouth.
With that said, yes, it was SO FUN. I was joking around saying I “blacked out” because I was just screaming and don’t remember most of the scenes!
THANK YOU and what age would you say "not yet" to . . 4 ? 6 ?? 8???
@@esciteach7997 I saw younger kids go on (8-10yrs old) but my guess is it would be more suited for teens and adults.
Maybe I’m just a chicken! 😂
How does the backward launch compare in intensity to Rock 'n' Roller Coaster's launch? (Full disclosure: I actually blacked out during the R 'n' R launch just as we went into the loop, so I would like to avoid a repeat of that! Thanks!)
@@chrisgreen5606 Honestly, the reverse launch was the least intense part of this coaster. You are being pulled backward but not at high acceleration.
@@JonLauro Phew! Thanks. Now I feel good about forging ahead!
So excited to ride this when I go this summer but I was starting to get motion sick just watching this footage... uh oh
Going in July, can't wait!
This is such a great ride! Fun and exciting while not being 2 scary
Great ride, a New Must
the song i like that they played was tears of fears everybody wants to rule world..and i like the earth wind and fire the dancing in September..not sure what other song they have playing..
thanks 4 explain this. i never seen the movie before..
We have a stay booked at Old Key West for Nov 29-Dec 1st so we cam ride Cosmic Rewind and see the Candlelight Processional.
I actually found Cosmic Rewind to be less intense than Space Mountain. Because Space is a much older coaster, you're tossed around like a rag doll, whereas Cosmic Rewind runs a lot smoother.
Well said AJ! You crushed this Guardians of the Galaxy 🌌 drop !!
I rode it today for the pass holder preview. It was so fun! I didn’t expect it to be as awesome as it was. Totally recommend riding it.
I’m going this weekend, is it opened for everyone now?
@@aaronwesley8189 It opens to the public May 27th!
what song did you get?
@@kyroravestar262 Conga!
@@Samantha_3711 ME TOOOOO!!!!!!! I'm gonna collect all six songs like pokemon.
Pretty sure I’ll get nauseous between all the screens and the motion. So it’s a no for me, but I hope others enjoy it.
I’m deftly not good with spins and I get motion sickness but i deft will ride it and enjoy it with my son for him and now also for you hope everybody enjoys it 💯〽️❤️
@@dethrone_naksam8748- same I'm terrible with thrill stuff but I'm still going to ride it with my sister!!! ❤️ So excited for it anyways
I loved Guardians but I felt Space Mountain was more intense by far.
I rode space mountain for the first time last year and didn't like it at all. I covered my ears the whole time and felt like my eyes we're closed a lot (I'm on the spectrum), I'm not a huge roller coaster fan but I do like some of them. I can only base things from my experience at dollywood.
can you compare the motion sickness factor to another ride… i need a scale-lol
I felt more dizzy on Star Tours than this
I rode it last night. It was much more intense than I expected. I almost threw up halfway through. Everyone getting off the ride really liked it but there was another guy getting off vomiting into a Disney bag. Seems to hit people differently. It is an awesome ride but it would be nice to also have a Whimp mode for some of us 😅😅
We did it 2 days ago. It was the highest point of my day, lol. We did think the way it was "organized" was very disorganized. You literally go all the way to the back of the line if you are not fast enough, with everybody running and pushing. Scary 😮😢. Beyond that, I couldn't tell you about the speed and spinning because I was just having too much fun. I don't even remember the videos in it. Lol, too bad we couldn't do it twice. We barely made our queue. My husband went straight to throw up nauseous 🤢 🤮
OK I’m going to be 100% honest I’ve been watching your videos for months, for years probably. I just got off the plane today from Orlando . I want to Hollywood Studios the amount of planning and money I spent is ridiculous and I did not have a good time I mean the lines were too long to eat, to ride a roller coaster , to do anything even if you had a lightning Lane pass you still was waiting a long time it was just not worth the hype. I think I love the idea of Disney World more than I love actual experience and that’s 100% the truth
true roller coaster parks > anything disney related or affiliated ''parks''
When you see a picture of inside the coaster building with the lights on, you will be even more shocked. There’s not as much in there as you think in terms of screens. What’s crazy though is supports are everywhere yet you can’t see them at all during the ride
Is it worth the hype? ABSOLUTELY!!! Hands down my favorite theme park ride/attraction I've ever been on. Side note, the virtual queue is terrible. We missed the 7am window the day we were there but I was able to buy Individual Lightning lane. I did get into the virtual queue at the 1pm window so we could ride it again but our estimated call back time was 6pm and it kept getting pushed further and further back. Once it got pushed to 7:45pm I just cancelled it. IMO, this is a horrible guest experience. How does Disney expect anyone to plan their day around that? I preferred the old Fast Pass over this new confusing and convoluted Genie+ lightning lane, individual lightning lane, and virtual queue system.
I went to disneyworld maybe about 3 weeks ago and guardians of the galaxy just so happens to set on fire after having an already abysmal wait time 😭😭💀
My dad and I got into the virtual cue at 1. We got our call time for 7:30. We decided to wait it out and the rest of our group went back to the hotel. I’m kind of glad because I know my stepsister would’ve hated it and she already ruined mission mars. I spent the afternoon chilling with my dad and we ended up getting called around 6:40. Great way to end the day at the most underrated disneyworld park.
Cool video
I”I went there as a kid and can’t wait to go back and ride Horizon’s!” Oof. I am not breaking the news to him… I keep wishing to ride it each time I go back too… but we all know how that works out. Haha
We’re not even pass holders or Disney employees and we rode it 10 times so far. It’s awesome. 😎
💫💫
Thats awsome!! Was it easy to get into the virtual line
@@netty1221 oh yes.
I’m confused…I thought the virtual queue didn’t open until May 27th when it officially opens??
@@joannab5584 it’s been for a few guest as a surprise guest experience to get feedback
fun ride! but in the wrong park!
I’m so glad that you mentioned motion sickness. When I watched the POV, I thought for sure that this ride will make me sick.
Yes, and also the whiplash can be real in spots when you're moving like that and trying to turn your head lol. Best throwback EVER to Conga!!! so my grade is 10/10! Intend to ride AGAIN!!!
Really bummed that there isn’t going to be a standby line. Boarding Groups are so frustrating.
Just to start. Eventually there will be a standby line.
it ends up grouping like a lightening lane line anyways, no matter how you do it. I DO recommend however joining the 1PM Virtual Queue, and going to do Soarin', Living with the Land, and test track if you can (not in that order) Heck, I even had time to go to Mars real quick! lol
@@stevedixon4179 still there
First ever trip to Disney in august. My god, the queue / pass system is totally baffling!! Omg.
It looks very neat. I am very glad to see another thrill ride, particularly one that isn't overly dependent on simulated movement and relies purely on screens.
I am still not a fan of it's location. Even with a weak tie-in/justification for it's placement in Epcot, I am certain that a GotG ride belongs somewhere else. Honestly, the only Marvel character I really see fitting into Epcot is Tony Stark and Stark Technologies, which would have slid in nicely with "Future World". Still excited for the ride, but this doesn't alleviate my concerns about recent Disney direction on park theming (which is to say they are getting weak or outright abandoning central theming).
There just wasnt enough room in town for the love kid between Space Mountain, and Haunted Mansion's kid wanting to Marry the older kid of Universe of Energy, and old Mission space (est '86) And dude, I'm sorry..... but their new grandkid Cosmic? Is a BADASS!!!
But I wont lie, something with Stark Technologies DOES sound dope, but also Universal Studios hype Liscensing I do believe. But oh man it would fit in World Discovery SO well!!! IDK what "PLAY!" is, however we'll see what it is, before I could speculate if some sort of Stark theme might be better placed in the area.
Can’t wait to ride it!!!!
Im riding it thursday!!!
Ok I did it. Great ride. If you get motion sick My advice is look at the screen and stuff goin on. Not the track. And sit in the rows behind someone. Youll be fine. Its really a good ride. The que is a little long but its worth the wait.
Hope You Guys Have Fun On Guardians Of The Galaxy Cosmic Rewind
Wife and I both got sick. She almost tossed her cookies when we got off. Can't say we enjoyed it.
She isn’t kidding about virtual queues filling quickly. Before Webslingers in DCA went to stand by lines we were going on a random Sunday but we knew that we weren’t going until the afternoon and most of the time I would get early spots (like 100 or less). I decided to wait 10 seconds after 7 am to refresh my screen and all the spots were gone for the day. You have to start at 7 am because 10 seconds makes a difference. 10 seconds y’all!!!!
Best attraction ever!
Guardians of the galaxy has now become my favorite movie because of this incredible ride.
What I think is odd, is I felt this ride was more intense because of all the spinning than the Aerosmith ride.
A worthy successor to the Universe of Energy. Looking forward to this experience when I go there in December.
@@MichaelRei99 then don't go. Furthermore, why are you here again?
We were planning to go to DHS the morning of June 2 and Epcot in the evening. No plans to ride GotG since we have little littles. But do you think park hopping will “sell out”? We have Epcot dinning reservations and I’m nervous about being locked out. Thanks for your help!!
Hope you took them to see Figment in his world of Imagination, and got to play in his room of puzzles and sounds!
Is there any chance that Disney open the ride just a days before May 27?
Does anyone know if they are doing soft openings for anyone at the parks yet?
It better have Baby Groot in it! Otherwise less interested. In any case I still miss the dinos.
Instead of replacing older attractions, the Disney Imagineers should simply upgrade them. They have enough room in Disney World to add attractions, instead of simply replacing them. They didn’t need to replace MAELSTROM in EPCOT’s Norway Pavilion, just expand the area for FROZEN EVER AFTER.
@@ethannielson942 It's called fiscal management. Why build a new building when you can repurpose an existing one? And GOTG is an "upgrade" (used the existing Energy building) plus they expanded (added a new building). Accept that there will always be change and you won't be disappointed.
Thanks fot the video, Do you recommend for 9 years old child ?
I went in it and it was awesome, today was our first day in the parks and we got on and it went to the end of when we went back in time but then it stopped and we didn’t go backwards immediately and we could see the outline of the screen it was about 60 ft long
Crush's coaster at Disneyland Paris is an omni style coaster.
Technically it is a "wild mouse" coaster that spins. The orientation of the spin is not controlled as GOTG is. Crush in Paris and Goofy's Sky School in CA are not Omni-coasters.
@@demoldbones oh i didnt know that it was controlled. thats cool
If you bring your family of 10, you’ll never ride rise of the resistance.
The truth about guardians is that IT SLAPS. That’s the whole truth. Just go on it, you won’t be disappointed.
I am going to Epcot on May 27th, and I have already purchased Genie+. Does this mean, at 7am when I try to get in the virtual que, I’m missing out on my next ride for Genie+? Because then I will have been spending some seconds on getting in the virtual que, I will have later times for the rides on Genie+.
My curiousity and being a huge fan of the movie made me have to ride this, but as someone who suffers from occasional vertigo and high blood pressure it was not for me and was a mistake. I was very dizzy and had dry heaves for about 30 mins afterwards!
We will be there next week. Do you think they will let regular people ride it? Lol...
Why is Drax using a jacket?
i remember with raised i would be up early for the app n app i still didn't get a spot smh.
This ride was awesome
AJ, you mentioned booking your virtual queue before your trip. Is that actually possible? If so, how far out can I book it, and how do I do that?
An app called "My Disney Experience" and it can outline and even navigate your ticket purchases (I recommend only purchasing the genie + feature if you intend on going to MK) And if you book a hotel that is sponsored, or outletted through Disney, the guests have a special Wifi tag that gives them earlier access. So the 7AM Queue for example, opens at 6:30 for folks in the actual Disney resort hotels. Hope this helps!
Could we still do lightning lane through genie plus if we park hop to Epcot? We already made reservation for magic kingdom this day and it’s will be our Honeymoon and my wife’s birthday on the 27th so hoping for some pixie dust!🤞🏼
This is my Q too, because you can buy the other one individual LLs in parks you're hopping to, so is this one different?
The optional cost was $17 when I went (December 2023).
To compare…. AJ do you get nauseated on Space Mountain? I know you said this ride is more thrilling than Space Mountain, but knowing if you get motion sickness on Space Mountain or not, will help.
I get motion sick in a car, watching some movie scenes, on Space Mountain and Soarin' Oddly as wild as this coaster was, I did not get motion sick 🤷♀️
I can certainly appreciate all the "coolness" of this ride, but in my personal opinion, this attraction doesn't belong at Epcot. Epcot, back in the day, was an educational theme park. Guardians of the Galaxy replaced "Universe of Energy." "Universe or Energy" fit the Epcot theme perfectly along with "Wonders of Life," (no longer there) "Spaceship Earth," "World of Motion," (now Test Track) "Living Seas," "Horizons" (replaced with Mission Space) and "Living with the Land." Why not just upgrade "World of Energy?" So, what is Epcot now? What's its identity? Is Epcot turning into a "glorified" Six Flags, or is it truly the "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow?" I know Disney well...I worked there in Information Technology. Anyway, have fun with the Guardians of the Galaxy...it looks like fun! And, again, this is just my opinion...I would love to get your input. Do you agree that Epcot is going in the right direction?
You sir are a Disney purist and I cannot agree with you more. I miss Horizons, and World of Motion, hell even Body Wars(made me sick everytime). I understand Disney's need to provide more thrill rides, but thats not Epcot's purpose.
Gotta make that Marvel money and although the studios would be a better place for it, they probably didn’t have space or a ride to replace. And I feel they’ve put the focus on Star Wars there.
Good point!
Well six flags could never touch this so no.
We didn't go upside down. We just did more exciting Test Track motions at a faster pace Sir..... To me? THATs what Epcot it. You'll get some tummy wobbles, but, you NEVER went upside down, or had a steeper drop than 35 degrees in angle, on Ma- I mean, "Frozen Ever After" which also goes backword for a moment.... So yeah, I'd say it fits PERFECTLY, especially with Mission Space, and Mission Earth Sir. Like that Tomorrow Land we were promised that Magic Kingdom ran out of room for.... Oh well. The Food is its own ride lol. Have a good one!
What’s the intensity like compared to Expedition Everest or Incredicoaster at DCA?
tears of fears was my favorite..n it would be cool if they had some 2pac playing that California love song lol..
Will it be possible to walk through JUST the pre-show and NOT get on the ride itself? I suppose I could ask a cast member about this?
Yes, you can leave the line at the end usually on every other ride dont see why this would be different
I will be going to EPCOT on June 14th & 19th, please make a video on how the virtual queue works for this ride. I am going to try and win the lottery and get me and my family on this attraction.
My guess is it works the same way as Star Wars and Ratatouille. In that case, there’s some things you need to make sure of. If it’s you and your whole fam, make sure they ALL have some sort of mobile device to get the VQ.
Before 7AM on your day, make sure that your whole party is on the app (as in the tickets or guests something like that it’s called). That way it’ll ensure you all get on the ride. Then just be ready by 7 to tap. My suggestion is to wake up 10 minutes before. Also when making the VQ you can skip through all the little prompts and just click yes thru it all.
And hopefully with that, and an insane amount of luck and some prayers, you get the VQ. This is how I did with my fam last time I went to Disney for Ratatouille (got group 17 myself)
