After riding this twice, it is my favorite Disney ride of all time. The queue, music, atmosphere, and speed made me fall deeply in love. I love this ride so damn much.
The teleportation effect blew my mind the first time I experienced it. I immediately knew how they did it, but it is still SO incredible to see in person.
I was like "WOAH! How did they do th- oh, that's how." But each time I still think it's one of the coolest things. It's even better hearing guests who have never been on before and have no idea how they did it being surprised, especially children.
I got to ride twice last weekend. First time in the teleporting room I was blown away. The second time, I guess everyone had ridden it before, because as soon as we ‘teleported’ the entire crowd bunched up at the exit doors and ignored the entire preshow in order to be closer to the front of the line.
@@MyNameIsNotPayeah that was annoying kinda. Trying to experience it for the first time, and ppl kinda push towards what they know. Unavoidable, whatevs
Cosmic Rewind was like my 204th coaster and it blew my mind at age 38. Imagine if this is like your 4th coaster and you're 6 years old. The bar is set SO HIGH!
Lol kids will grow up so smug from these experiences.. like nothing like it can equate. Technology is on the rise though, so this is honestly just the beginning of the possiblities
It was my 3rd roller coaster and im 14 lmao. I do not regret my choice of going on it, I was scared before it started but when it did I was just enjoying the moment and loudly singing along to everybody wants to rule the world haha. It’s def my fav ride along with transformers: the ride 3D over at universal studios Orlando
I rode cosmic rewind on opening day and again two days later, and the use of spinning cars and the blaring throwback music throughout the ride makes it feel so unique and fun, the one part of the ride that has really stayed in my head is the spin you take around earth, it’s just such a cool scene and it’s the one part of the ride I really remember well
Also my first ride was to September, which is a song I really enjoy, and it just fit the feel of guardians so well and it’s upbeat feel made the ride feel so crazy fun and wild
Both times I’ve ridden it I’ve gotten “I Ran (So Far Away).” Probably the best song to get on this ride because the high energy of the song matches the energy of the ride.
@@HunterTheHeroDisco inferno is perfect. The bit where it goes ‘Up above my head, I hear music in the air’ as you are spinning around a planet is just beautiful
After riding this coaster a few days ago, all I want to do is relive the amazing experience I had on the ride. I'm watching RUclips videos on it to relive the moment. My husband and I discussed right after we got off the ride that it is the best roller coaster hands down that we've ever been on. Loved the smoothness of the ride, the story, the music and had the biggest smile on my face the entire time we were riding on this coaster. Would definitely go back to Disney for this ride and would recommend for everyone to try it at least once if you get the chance.
I rode it yesterday and I'm speechless. Pandora used to be my favorite - then Rise of the Resistance opened up and BLEW ME AWAY...then THIS? How is Disney going to top THIS? I've never seen it's equal in any ride ever in my life and I'm a coaster junkie! It's likely the best coaster on the planet! The whole experience was one of a kind. I'm so lucky I get to work for this amaing company and I get to ride these rides whenever I want. Want an experience!!!
My son and I had the pleasure of experiencing this groundbreaking ride. It was the best ride we've ever been on. If this is the new Era of rides, I'm here for it! Bravo Disney!
Same. I didn’t even know this ride existed until we were IN the park, and now it’s the best thing I rode all week and that’s with stiff competition from the Universal Parks.
Way to go. So cool to have one of these how to videos again. Nobody explains it better or makes my brain hurt more trying to take it all in. Thanks for all your work.
I do not exactly know if you will see this, but I just want to say your “how … works” videos has shown me that I want to do mechanical engineering. I think it is the interest in how things work behind the scenes, and how amazing it would be to help put together all of the “magic” at Disney and other themed parks.
Honestly whenever I watch your videos you don’t spoil the magic for me or ruin the experience they actually make it better because I’m learning how these Imaginaires got creative to make such an amazing ride
Usually I get a sneak peek on RUclips regarding a new ride that I haven't ridden yet. But this time, I decided to refrain from seeing or hearing ANYTHING about this ride before actually riding it. When the day came to finally ride it, I was SO GLAD that I didn't know anything about it because it made the experience so much better!! This ride is WORTH THE WAIT!! It's unlike any other coaster on the planet. You will LOVE IT!!! Cannot WAIT to ride it again!! Makes me so thankful that I live in Orlando!!
I did the exact same thing its better not to get spoiled for indoor rides. I regret watching rise of the resistence but im glad i didnt watch cosmic rewind it was worth the wait
Definitely the top coaster at Disney world, if not the best ride overall at Disney. Exceeded my expectations. It’s incredibly fast but smooth while you have a ton of cold air blowing on you which helps from getting sick. It’s really much more than a coaster, no massive drops but a lot of spinning and sharp dips. Also the best part is the music selections they chose.
I wish I knew about the cold air on this ride when I was at WDW. Im already quite scared of coasters but decided to try Space Mountain. I got horrible motion sickness and could barely ride anything for the rest of the day so we skipped Cosmic Rewind. The only thing that helped was the cold air blowing on Flight of Passage. Completely cured me lol. I’ll definitely be giving Cosmic Rewind a try if I ever go back.
i was so afraid of rollercoasters for so much of my life and this trip (last week) I decided to face my fears! I went on the Barnstormer, then Big Thunder Mountain, then Space Mountain. I decided to try Everest (definitely the most intense one I tried) and then Cosmic Rewind. Best ride ever! I was worried about motion sickness but I found it pretty minimal (although not everyone can say the same). I also went on Slinky Dog Dash. Cosmic rewind is now my new favorite ride in Disney World (I rode it 3 times, 2 VQ and one LL) and when I got everybody wants to rule the world I almost cried with joy
I officially went in this ride today. This is by far the best coaster I’ve ever been on. The effects, the music and the amount of effort you can see that was put in on this ride blew my mind.
Loved this ride. I’m not a roller coaster fan and the entire engaging experience made it so fun and easy to enjoy. I’d return to Disney again just for this ride.
I didn’t know what to expect on Cosmic Rewind, I didn’t look it up before hand or anything! Wow! ‘I Ran’ played and when they say ‘We’re going back, right back, I just knew we’d go backwards. The music had me beaming ear to ear and I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time. I could pick up the whole vibe how amazing and breathtaking this ride is. The visuals are incredible. I couldn’t stop talking about it when I came off. The best ride I have ever been on!
Mind blown! This is the absolute BEST ride in the world. This ride is smooth and engaging and the music is absolutely perfect (Disco Inferno). We loved it and I wish I would have done it twice. We visited in Oct 2023.
The digital graphics along with the smooth ride were surprising! “I ran” by flock of seagulls playing the entire on an amazing sound system just sweetens the deal. The backwards aspect and spinning were a bit much for my seasoned stomach, but had I been younger I would have loved it! Great experience, highly recommended. Absolutely loved it! Thanks Disney!
My experience is it is probably one of the most well done roller coasters I have ever been on. The rotation of the ride vehicle give you a sensation unlike any other roller coaster I have ever been on.
This ride was simply incredible. It blew away every expectation that I had. I can honestly say this was the first coaster I’ve ever ridden that I yelled with joy and excitement for the entire ride.
This ride is the best! Not only is fast, fun, thrilling but also it magically makes riders feel a sense of happiness and some people break into tears. It’s definitely special, I believe it has to do with the great epic music choice. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻😃
I am really, really uncomfortable on roller coasters, I typically avoid them. Somehow my girls talked me onto this one. I was simultaneously terrified and in complete awe. This thing is incredible. I don't know if I can bring myself to go back on it, but I am completely fascinated by it. Hands down one of the most incredible ride experiences I have ever seen. To be clear, there is nothing any more "terrifying" about this than any other Disney coaster - I am just a complete wimp, I really hate coasters lol. But this is the first one I have ever been on that makes me wish I loved them, and is actually tempting me to get back on. Just absolutely incredible.
As somebody who also hates rollercoasters, I’m scared to go on. Are there like any crazy drops where one might lose their stomach? That’s what I’m most afraid of
@@dr.danielmarr8572 there aren’t normal drops or even major drops. the only thing that makes the dip wild is the angle you take them at. which was honestly my favorite part. also my favorite part was the moon
ever since my last trip to disney this start of june ive been obsessed with how some coasters work. the lsm system is amazing and truly revolutionary for coasters
Just got to ride it today and the only thing that disappointed me was that I couldn't ride it again! What an incredible coaster this was, with honestly a rather great storyline. The actors all did well for the show scenes, and the banter along the ride couldn't be funnier to hear over all the laughing and screaming everyone was doing. Don't think I've ever walked off a ride smiling more. Disney is on a good path once again with their ride choices I think, may they continue to impress and innovate! Plus, the music really sells it--I got lucky enough for Tears for Fears on my first ride!
One thing I like about this - it seems like a ride system that pulls together everything Disney has developed and learned about queue, pre-show effects, and our favorite purplish Epcot design vibe. With the screens, they could easily re-theme it the same way they did Universe of Energy. Imagine if they re-did classic Journey Into Imagination as an elaborate omnicoaster with this level of technology: _"and what about Science Science Science...?"_
This was ride absolutely incredible experience!!! I am still baffled by the transportation room scene! The coaster was so incredibly smooth and equally thrilling!! Ranks very very high on my favorite coasters of all time!!
Got in the virtual queue June 2022. This ride is by far Disney World's best coaster... At least till Tron opens... Then we will see. I have done all the Disney coasters in Disneyland and Disney world. This has the best cars, track, video and audio implementation of any ride I have ever been on. Sure, it's not the fastest and doesn't go upside down but man... It's soooooo good.
I rode this twice on opening day. I was very nervous because I can get motion sick, but if you sit in the middle cars, it doesn't cause as much of motion sickness (I also took a bonine just in case). Wish I could have ridden it more times than just twice, but it was so visually stunning. It was a perfect balance of chaos without it being too much. There are barf bags at the end because people get so sick riding it, so do take proper precautions if you get motion sick! In order to be available for the 1:00 ticket drop you have to already be inside EPCOT. We were at the Land Pavillion on the second level overlooking the food court. It went dead silent as the clock hit one, before echoing cheers filled the room. Probably two hundred people were in there, + whoever got passes let everyone know. I'm getting chills just remembering it, because it was so crazy to see humanity unite for a split second.
I agree on the motion sickness. I too get motion sickness and rode this. I think the my issue was staring at the screens while the cart would twist, but sickness could be avoided by simply shutting my eyes for a moment. The fear of riding this was WAY worse than the actual ride. It was an awesome experience!
I rode Cosmic Rewind last week during my first ever visit to Disney World and it was genuinely one of the coolest experiences of my life which I know sounds crazy to say. I haven't been to many amusement parks in my life which I feel in part is because I also don't typically do roller coasters. I tried some for the first time around 5 years ago and lets just say my body didn't like them too much. But after one of my friends and then my aunt went on and said it was the best coaster they've ever been on, I knew that if I didn't go on this ride during my trip a few weeks later, I would be missing out on so much. Needless to say, I am SO glad I didn't chicken out and (even though I haven't been on many) it was my favorite ride at Disney by far and I don't see anything topping it for a long time.
@@shardgaming9089 i honestly dont even know, it all was going so fast to process🤣 there may have been a couple but I couldn't tell cause it was also very dark with the big projectors being pretty much the only souce of light
This ride made me feel the most free and energetic I’ve ever felt in my life dude seriously it’s that amazing. the way your body moves whether it’s the music or the smooth spins that take you through the galaxy. it’s like how you feel when you’re flying in a dream. there was an old guy that got off the ride and had to check his pulse because he coukdnt believe how fucking incredible it was. it’s truly that good and i can’t wait to hold on on it again. so freeing and magnificent
This was the best ride I've been on ever; only experiencing it for the first time a few weeks ago. Because of the use of rotation of the individual cars there is a lack of jarring normally felt on other coasters. Instead of being jarred suddenly into a new direction, you are pulled smoothly in that direction feeling the g-forces. No headaches or sore muscles. I think this ride is great for those that don't normally like coasters while still maintaining a level of excitement for the experienced coaster rider. 10/10
Have you ridden? We'd love to hear your thoughts below. The best way to support us is by subscribing and sharing! 🙂 And yes I called him Dom Toretto, no I won't change it. #FAMILY 😅
I love all the videos you do, especially when im local to them but there is one ride that is my favorite and I was wondering if you could posibly look into maing a video on it and the ride is Falcons Fury From Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.
One of the best roller coasters I’ve ever been on! And without going upside down! They knocked it out of the park with this one. Caution: If you hate roller coasters do NOT ride this! My girl doesn’t ride coasters but remember people, you can go all the way to the boarding area on coasters then ask for the exit. I take my girl on Rock n’ Roller coaster and others so she can experience the pre-show and see the cars take off.
I managed to ride it back to back with two Lightning Lanes. My songs were Conga and One Way or Another from entering the first time to exiting the second took me just under an hour. I loved the ride and can't wait to ride it again, I am fully aware that that this first experience was extremely lucky and I doubt my next day at Epcot will go nearly as smoothly. I booked two lightning lanes one for me and one for my mother but she does not do many coasters so she decided to sit it out so I used her Magic Band for my second go.
We did something similar. Got LL for everyone in our party. Those that don't do coasters gave the LLs to others. We also managed to book the virtual queue - so a couple party members got to go a third time. I'm terrified of roller coasters but made myself do it and, holy crap, what a great ride.
@@GeekyMitch I'm not big on coasters with big drops and loops. I like these more family style coasters. I don't think this one is too bad at all since the ride is so smooth at Disney World alone I think Space Mountain is a little more intense since the ride is rougher and seems to have some bigger drops, the spinning in GOTG:CR really has no affect on me motion sickness wise. At Universal my limit is Hagrid's and The Mummy.
I got to ride this early May. Absolutely blew me away. Screamed the entire time. Not out of fear, but no other expression of joy would suffice! I'm 58 and while Space Mtn caused me some discomfort this trip, GOTG was totally comfortable. Can't wait to ride it again!
I rode this for the first time last week. They spent $500 million on it, and it was worth every single penny. I don't just love this ride; I admire it.
Before going onto this ride, i already heard/saw a few things about this ride, and I thought I somewhat knew what to expect from it. I was so wrong. One of my friends who’d ridden it already was dying laughing because all she heard from me was me screaming and yelling at the top of my lungs, “OH MY GOD” the whole time. It really is an amazing ride!
Such an epic ride. Also, really nice 3D print of the LSM. I did experience the hold-thing right before the launch. It was quite odd to wait, but it's cool why they do it.
I love your breakdown with all the science and technology behind how this ride works, awesome video! First time I rode this I was completely and utterly blown away! I had like happy crying tears in my eyes because I was so amazed. It's such a unique experience between standing in line and making your way onto the ride and then of course the ride itself is spectacular. I will be shocked if I ever go on another ride that's better than this. Been on it 8 times and it's unbelievable every time! (Conga and I ran are the best songs)
It tossed my tummy about a bit. I've seen a few other videos of rode footage and your clip near the end actually looked as fast as it felt. It was unlike any other coaster or ride I've ever been on. Very short, but a full experience. I couldn't figure out how going as fast as we were we still could see the screens so long until you explained it. All in all, it was worth the wait. (It was hung up for an hour for some reason as we were just about to load.)
This is the best rollercoaster I’ve ever been on, I hope Disney finally takes it off of Virtual Queue soon! Even my mom and dad liked it, and they’re chronic grumps!
I’m not the hugest fan of coasters but watching this and other videos helped me with my perspective on the ride. Highly enjoyed riding it twice last week
Just got back from Disney and this ride made the trip. IMO by far the best ride in all 4 parks and Universal Studios. Its like space mountain x 10. Well done all around
I’m convinced I’m the only person who felt so sick after riding this ride haha but I’m not good with rollercoasters so I guess it’s just a me thing… either way the pre-show, the atmosphere, and the music were all so immersive and made this a standout attraction
It wasn’t just you...this ride is impressive, yes. But the only way I can describe it is it felt like the monster car accident I was in many years ago. Painful, spinning and confusing. Never again. We are pushing these things to the limit.
You definitely were not alone. I’m pretty good with coasters and still felt a bit disoriented stepping off, not to mention i have several friends who had an experience a lot like yours
Alexa you were NOT the only one. I was so terrified on this thing, I kept my eyes closed the entire ride & held on for dear life. When it was over I was legit crying and in a panic. Plus add motion sickness to this uneasy feeling! NEVER AGAIN 👎🏼
I’m right there with you. I love GOTG and I LOVED the queue but I was NOT prepared for how intense this ride was. I am prone to motion sickness at times but I was so sick after this that I had to leave and go back to the hotel, I barely made it through the ride back without getting sick and was nauseated for the rest of the evening. Im glad so many people can enjoy it because it’s such a great theme but I’ll be watching from the sidelines lol!
Truly an amazing attraction. I was nervous when I saw all the turning ability of the cars, but the way the orient you just the right way to experience each section, is perfect! I love this ride, and have only had the chance to ride it 3 times, can’t wait till November to ride again!
It feels like you're flying, especially when you begin circling the moon towards the end. This is easily the best ride on property and possibly on the entire planet. Way to go, Imagineers. You have all outdone yourselves here!
It's a great ride, might dry your eyes out, Rule the world was playing in my trip and a lot of people got sick right after the ride, old folks were dizzy, but you gotta love the new car smell the entire ride is worth it even if you stall you get a ton of jokes like it's your fault I won't spoil anything because the ride is busy. But this really feels like your in the movie even if you never seen any of them
Great video as usual. And wow does the actual coaster part of the ride look absolutely beautiful But you do know that “Dom Teretto” is just the character that Vin Diesel plays in the Fast and the Furious franchise right?!? 😝
I was amazed riding the first time. The teleportation room was my favorite. Once it happened I kept loud whispering "ITS POSEIDON'S FURY!" to my wife over and over again. 😂
Awesome video! I rode this coaster for the first time yesterday and it is not only the smoothest coaster ever, it’s also way more exciting than any video can capture and I highly recommend you ride it.
I don't know how Disney does their disappearing core illusion, but if it were me, the core would be below the entire enclosure. The audience would only ever see a reflection of the real core on a one-way mirror angled 45 degrees over the hole where the core sits. When the lights go out, the lights over the core would go out, and lights behind the one way mirror would come up. No moving pieces at all.
@@MadWritter Well, it's similar, but where Pepper's Ghost relies on the transparency of the window, my idea for the illusion would rely on the nature of one-way mirrors. So when you see the core, it shouldn't look see-through like it would with Pepper's Ghost. All that being said, I think your idea might be better. If sufficient lighting makes up for the loss in reflectiveness, you could just use plexiglass and Pepper's Ghost to make a solid-looking core. If you could, you wouldn't even need to calibrate the lights for the mirror, or match up the backgrounds, and the illusion could be even better.
This is the most amazing ride I have ever been on. I really don't even like rollar coasters, but I go for my husband, but this is completely different and I was so blown away by the entire ride.
I’m not a coaster person, so just know that going into reading the rest lol. I thought this ride was really awesome, the graphics and the technology behind it is really just a whole nother level. Plus the first part of the queue was absolutely stunning! I feel bad for whoever has to clean all that glass at the end of the day lol. Anywho, I don’t know if I’ll ever do it again, because it really was a lot for me, but I’m so glad to say I’ve done it. My Aunt who was with me felt the same way. Everyone we met who had been on it LOVED it. I’m hoping to eventually train my body to love coasters lol but right now my stomach just can’t handle hardly anything at all. If I was a coaster girl, this ride definitely takes the cake.
Thanks for the video, I rode this last week and this week and hands down is the best Disney ride/ experience at the mo. Still love the rock n rollercoaster though. My wife loved the music choice in this ride and the smoothness of the transitions. This is the best “experience ride” in Disney and Florida. With the new “booking system” only had to queue 45 mins at the most and 20 mins at the least. Beats Tron by a mile!
Just got back from Disney. This is such a great ride. I don't know anything about the Guardians of the Galaxy story line, but that didn't matter. This coaster is so smooth, and the seats are very comfortable. The visuals are beautiful, and the ride is strangely relaxing, especially with a selection of six great songs. I only rode it twice, and we had I Ran by Flock of Seagulls the first time and Tears For Fears Rule the World second. I honestly still am not sure I understand the story of the coaster but I sure did enjoy it.
I just went to The ride on Monday 4/24/23 and had no idea what it was about. I do not like coasters, but as a fan of the movies and 10 alc drinks deep....i said, "wth! Lets go" This video does a great job of giving a perspective of the ride. I am so glad i knew nothing about it first and cant wait to go again next time we're in Florida! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was hesitant about it because I had heard all kinds of talk about it being rushed or being bad with the wide open spaces… but holy shit. What a coaster! It’s such a different experience, and not really knowing what I was really in for on the first ride had me actually speechless afterwards. Such a great job. On par with Hagrid’s at Universal.
this was the first coaster I did in 20 years and I thought I was going to die, when I got off my knees hurt and I felt flushed. Can’t wait to do it again.
After riding this twice, it is my favorite Disney ride of all time. The queue, music, atmosphere, and speed made me fall deeply in love. I love this ride so damn much.
Mine too. Rode it 5 times in the past 2 weeks, couldn't get enough!
How much of the ride are you going facing forward vs going forward at an angle? I want to ride but afraid I’ll 🤢
I agree!
@@richrawlz4400 just road it 5 times as well
I paid for ILL and then went to After Hours just for this ride.. the whole experience is so well done... well done Disney Imagineers...
The teleportation effect blew my mind the first time I experienced it. I immediately knew how they did it, but it is still SO incredible to see in person.

Yeah, my son is 6 and this was his 4th coaster a couple of weeks ago
Yep. My daughter’s 4th coaster and she’s 6. lol
this was my first coaster and let's just say it really surprised me. I was not expecting any of the elements or the forces.
It was my 3rd roller coaster and im 14 lmao. I do not regret my choice of going on it, I was scared before it started but when it did I was just enjoying the moment and loudly singing along to everybody wants to rule the world haha. It’s def my fav ride along with transformers: the ride 3D over at universal studios Orlando
I'm 49 and my 8 year old rode this with me. I'll never forget the experience and neither will he. The bar is set so high!
I rode cosmic rewind on opening day and again two days later, and the use of spinning cars and the blaring throwback music throughout the ride makes it feel so unique and fun, the one part of the ride that has really stayed in my head is the spin you take around earth, it’s just such a cool scene and it’s the one part of the ride I really remember well

same!!!! i dont know how it will be possible to top it.. tron was alright but guardians? best ride/rollercoaster *ever* made imo
cooking
This coaster is as smooth as butter. It was not bumpy at any point and that's what makes this ride one of my favorite roller coasters in any park!

Ive done it 6 times already lol
Definitely the top coaster at Disney world, if not the best ride overall at Disney. Exceeded my expectations. It’s incredibly fast but smooth while you have a ton of cold air blowing on you which helps from getting sick. It’s really much more than a coaster, no massive drops but a lot of spinning and sharp dips. Also the best part is the music selections they chose.
I wish I knew about the cold air on this ride when I was at WDW. Im already quite scared of coasters but decided to try Space Mountain. I got horrible motion sickness and could barely ride anything for the rest of the day so we skipped Cosmic Rewind. The only thing that helped was the cold air blowing on Flight of Passage. Completely cured me lol. I’ll definitely be giving Cosmic Rewind a try if I ever go back.
i was so afraid of rollercoasters for so much of my life and this trip (last week) I decided to face my fears! I went on the Barnstormer, then Big Thunder Mountain, then Space Mountain. I decided to try Everest (definitely the most intense one I tried) and then Cosmic Rewind. Best ride ever! I was worried about motion sickness but I found it pretty minimal (although not everyone can say the same). I also went on Slinky Dog Dash. Cosmic rewind is now my new favorite ride in Disney World (I rode it 3 times, 2 VQ and one LL) and when I got everybody wants to rule the world I almost cried with joy
I officially went in this ride today. This is by far the best coaster I’ve ever been on. The effects, the music and the amount of effort you can see that was put in on this ride blew my mind.
Loved this ride. I’m not a roller coaster fan and the entire engaging experience made it so fun and easy to enjoy. I’d return to Disney again just for this ride.
I am the exactly the same lmao
This ride changed the game for roller coasters and indoor coasters. I was blown away by this ride. It truly is NEXT LEVEL!!
I just rode it and holy crap IT IS AMAZING!!!
I didn’t know what to expect on Cosmic Rewind, I didn’t look it up before hand or anything!
Wow! ‘I Ran’ played and when they say
‘We’re going back, right back, I just knew we’d go backwards.
The music had me beaming ear to ear and I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time.
I could pick up the whole vibe how amazing and breathtaking this ride is.
The visuals are incredible.
I couldn’t stop talking about it when I came off.
The best ride I have ever been on!
My face HURT from grinning ❤❤
Mind blown! This is the absolute BEST ride in the world. This ride is smooth and engaging and the music is absolutely perfect (Disco Inferno). We loved it and I wish I would have done it twice. We visited in Oct 2023.
Best ride in the world huh ? LOL. Go ride Hagrids and VC at Universal then get back to me.
@@georgecam222Opinions exist
This ride made my ENTIRE Disney visit 🙌🙌
The digital graphics along with the smooth ride were surprising! “I ran” by flock of seagulls playing the entire on an amazing sound system just sweetens the deal. The backwards aspect and spinning were a bit much for my seasoned stomach, but had I been younger I would have loved it! Great experience, highly recommended. Absolutely loved it! Thanks Disney!
My experience is it is probably one of the most well done roller coasters I have ever been on. The rotation of the ride vehicle give you a sensation unlike any other roller coaster I have ever been on.
This ride was simply incredible. It blew away every expectation that I had. I can honestly say this was the first coaster I’ve ever ridden that I yelled with joy and excitement for the entire ride.
This ride is the best! Not only is fast, fun, thrilling but also it magically makes riders feel a sense of happiness and some people break into tears. It’s definitely special, I believe it has to do with the great epic music choice. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻😃
I made an effort to not watch any videos about this ride, going into it blind. Was absolutely stunned and had so much fun. Best Disney ride ever.
Rode this thing today, and it blew me away. Best ride as Disney!
I am really, really uncomfortable on roller coasters, I typically avoid them. Somehow my girls talked me onto this one. I was simultaneously terrified and in complete awe. This thing is incredible. I don't know if I can bring myself to go back on it, but I am completely fascinated by it. Hands down one of the most incredible ride experiences I have ever seen. To be clear, there is nothing any more "terrifying" about this than any other Disney coaster - I am just a complete wimp, I really hate coasters lol. But this is the first one I have ever been on that makes me wish I loved them, and is actually tempting me to get back on. Just absolutely incredible.
As somebody who also hates rollercoasters, I’m scared to go on. Are there like any crazy drops where one might lose their stomach? That’s what I’m most afraid of
@@phishfewdalex there arent any crazy tall drops, there is just a lot of spinning and sudden speeding up
@@phishfewdalex I'm terrified to go on this, wondering the same! How big are the drops or are they mostly curves?
i hate roller coasters. i am a big scaredy cat tbh. but i love this one
@@dr.danielmarr8572 there aren’t normal drops or even major drops. the only thing that makes the dip wild is the angle you take them at. which was honestly my favorite part. also my favorite part was the moon
ever since my last trip to disney this start of june ive been obsessed with how some coasters work. the lsm system is amazing and truly revolutionary for coasters
It really is insane technology when you think about it
Just got to ride it today and the only thing that disappointed me was that I couldn't ride it again! What an incredible coaster this was, with honestly a rather great storyline. The actors all did well for the show scenes, and the banter along the ride couldn't be funnier to hear over all the laughing and screaming everyone was doing. Don't think I've ever walked off a ride smiling more. Disney is on a good path once again with their ride choices I think, may they continue to impress and innovate! Plus, the music really sells it--I got lucky enough for Tears for Fears on my first ride!
i agree about the acting scenes! the gotg cast has really good energy on set and i love watching the scenes on povs
One thing I like about this - it seems like a ride system that pulls together everything Disney has developed and learned about queue, pre-show effects, and our favorite purplish Epcot design vibe. With the screens, they could easily re-theme it the same way they did Universe of Energy. Imagine if they re-did classic Journey Into Imagination as an elaborate omnicoaster with this level of technology: _"and what about Science Science Science...?"_
i mean i could understand certain parts being mini coaster sections but idk if i would like J into I to be a full omni
such a good video explanation! thank you!!!!
PS love your channel - ur videos are the best
Like always.
I have been going to Disney since 2001, and this ride was the most fun I have ever had. I like all the incredible new technology.
This was ride absolutely incredible experience!!! I am still baffled by the transportation room scene! The coaster was so incredibly smooth and equally thrilling!! Ranks very very high on my favorite coasters of all time!!
Got in the virtual queue June 2022. This ride is by far Disney World's best coaster... At least till Tron opens... Then we will see. I have done all the Disney coasters in Disneyland and Disney world. This has the best cars, track, video and audio implementation of any ride I have ever been on. Sure, it's not the fastest and doesn't go upside down but man... It's soooooo good.
I rode this twice on opening day. I was very nervous because I can get motion sick, but if you sit in the middle cars, it doesn't cause as much of motion sickness (I also took a bonine just in case). Wish I could have ridden it more times than just twice, but it was so visually stunning. It was a perfect balance of chaos without it being too much. There are barf bags at the end because people get so sick riding it, so do take proper precautions if you get motion sick!
In order to be available for the 1:00 ticket drop you have to already be inside EPCOT. We were at the Land Pavillion on the second level overlooking the food court. It went dead silent as the clock hit one, before echoing cheers filled the room. Probably two hundred people were in there, + whoever got passes let everyone know. I'm getting chills just remembering it, because it was so crazy to see humanity unite for a split second.
I agree on the motion sickness. I too get motion sickness and rode this. I think the my issue was staring at the screens while the cart would twist, but sickness could be avoided by simply shutting my eyes for a moment. The fear of riding this was WAY worse than the actual ride. It was an awesome experience!
I rode Cosmic Rewind last week during my first ever visit to Disney World and it was genuinely one of the coolest experiences of my life which I know sounds crazy to say. I haven't been to many amusement parks in my life which I feel in part is because I also don't typically do roller coasters. I tried some for the first time around 5 years ago and lets just say my body didn't like them too much. But after one of my friends and then my aunt went on and said it was the best coaster they've ever been on, I knew that if I didn't go on this ride during my trip a few weeks later, I would be missing out on so much. Needless to say, I am SO glad I didn't chicken out and (even though I haven't been on many) it was my favorite ride at Disney by far and I don't see anything topping it for a long time.
Are there any huge drops or just mini ones
@@shardgaming9089 i honestly dont even know, it all was going so fast to process🤣 there may have been a couple but I couldn't tell cause it was also very dark with the big projectors being pretty much the only souce of light
Same my heart swells every time I remember this ride ❤
@@shardgaming9089just mini. If there were large ones you don’t notice it’s so quick
Hands down the best ride at Disney - thoroughly enjoyed the speed and different soundtracks creating a different experience each ride!
This ride made me feel the most free and energetic I’ve ever felt in my life dude seriously it’s that amazing. the way your body moves whether it’s the music or the smooth spins that take you through the galaxy. it’s like how you feel when you’re flying in a dream. there was an old guy that got off the ride and had to check his pulse because he coukdnt believe how fucking incredible it was. it’s truly that good and i can’t wait to hold on on it again. so freeing and magnificent
YESSSS!!!
I ran... I ran so far away!!!! Loved hearing 80's music while I was thrown all over the place. Amazing ride!
This was the best ride I've been on ever; only experiencing it for the first time a few weeks ago. Because of the use of rotation of the individual cars there is a lack of jarring normally felt on other coasters. Instead of being jarred suddenly into a new direction, you are pulled smoothly in that direction feeling the g-forces. No headaches or sore muscles. I think this ride is great for those that don't normally like coasters while still maintaining a level of excitement for the experienced coaster rider. 10/10
Have you ridden? We'd love to hear your thoughts below.

And yes I called him Dom Toretto, no I won't change it. #FAMILY 😅
I went there on opening day the music was the best ride music there is
I love it! Don't worry! Also I rode it during preview and it's incredibly smoothe and the music rocks!!
I love all the videos you do, especially when im local to them but there is one ride that is my favorite and I was wondering if you could posibly look into maing a video on it and the ride is Falcons Fury From Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.
Yep, and I loved it.
One of the best roller coasters I’ve ever been on! And without going upside down! They knocked it out of the park with this one. Caution: If you hate roller coasters do NOT ride this! My girl doesn’t ride coasters but remember people, you can go all the way to the boarding area on coasters then ask for the exit. I take my girl on Rock n’ Roller coaster and others so she can experience the pre-show and see the cars take off.
I managed to ride it back to back with two Lightning Lanes. My songs were Conga and One Way or Another from entering the first time to exiting the second took me just under an hour. I loved the ride and can't wait to ride it again, I am fully aware that that this first experience was extremely lucky and I doubt my next day at Epcot will go nearly as smoothly.
I booked two lightning lanes one for me and one for my mother but she does not do many coasters so she decided to sit it out so I used her Magic Band for my second go.
We did something similar. Got LL for everyone in our party. Those that don't do coasters gave the LLs to others. We also managed to book the virtual queue - so a couple party members got to go a third time.
I'm terrified of roller coasters but made myself do it and, holy crap, what a great ride.
@@GeekyMitch I'm not big on coasters with big drops and loops. I like these more family style coasters. I don't think this one is too bad at all since the ride is so smooth at Disney World alone I think Space Mountain is a little more intense since the ride is rougher and seems to have some bigger drops, the spinning in GOTG:CR really has no affect on me motion sickness wise. At Universal my limit is Hagrid's and The Mummy.
honestly w move with that back to back lightning lane
I got to ride this early May. Absolutely blew me away. Screamed the entire time. Not out of fear, but no other expression of joy would suffice! I'm 58 and while Space Mtn caused me some discomfort this trip, GOTG was totally comfortable. Can't wait to ride it again!
Ive never been a coaster person but this is the best coaster ever. It got me into coasters just to see how much all of them pale in comparison
I rode it a week ago, and I can’t stop thinking about it. It was so good!
I rode this coaster a few days ago, and it was amazing. Great pacing, fun layout, good songs. Definitely Disney world’s best coaster so far.
I rode this for the first time last week. They spent $500 million on it, and it was worth every single penny. I don't just love this ride; I admire it.
Before going onto this ride, i already heard/saw a few things about this ride, and I thought I somewhat knew what to expect from it. I was so wrong. One of my friends who’d ridden it already was dying laughing because all she heard from me was me screaming and yelling at the top of my lungs, “OH MY GOD” the whole time. It really is an amazing ride!
I got "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" on my first ride, tears running down my cheek at the end.
Same!
Great ride, very unique and fun experience, and I really dig the music to it. I did not like the multiple chambers before you board however.
Such an epic ride. Also, really nice 3D print of the LSM. I did experience the hold-thing right before the launch. It was quite odd to wait, but it's cool why they do it.
I love your breakdown with all the science and technology behind how this ride works, awesome video!
First time I rode this I was completely and utterly blown away! I had like happy crying tears in my eyes because I was so amazed. It's such a unique experience between standing in line and making your way onto the ride and then of course the ride itself is spectacular. I will be shocked if I ever go on another ride that's better than this. Been on it 8 times and it's unbelievable every time! (Conga and I ran are the best songs)
This has to be one of the best roller coasters ive ever done. Ive never really have had fun on any coster like i did on cosmic rewind
It tossed my tummy about a bit. I've seen a few other videos of rode footage and your clip near the end actually looked as fast as it felt. It was unlike any other coaster or ride I've ever been on. Very short, but a full experience. I couldn't figure out how going as fast as we were we still could see the screens so long until you explained it. All in all, it was worth the wait. (It was hung up for an hour for some reason as we were just about to load.)
5:00 "Son, if you're going to be on your phone for the whole Galactic Starcruiser then we're going home right now"
Rode it when it opened in May. Best ride I've ever experienced in my life!! I can't wait to write it again!
This is the best rollercoaster I’ve ever been on, I hope Disney finally takes it off of Virtual Queue soon! Even my mom and dad liked it, and they’re chronic grumps!
I’m not the hugest fan of coasters but watching this and other videos helped me with my perspective on the ride. Highly enjoyed riding it twice last week
This has to be the best rollercoaster on property hands down, The Song we got was "September" totally worth the wait.
I’m 65 and at Disney now. Rode it twice this week. I am happy to retire from roller coaster riding on such a high note.
Just got back from Disney and this ride made the trip. IMO by far the best ride in all 4 parks and Universal Studios. Its like space mountain x 10. Well done all around
It is so much fun to ride and it’s the best ride of Epcot and best coaster Disney has to offer.
This was an incredibly fun ride and my favorite from all of the parks. It'll be a regular ride for me everytime I return.
Have gotten 4 rides on it, and all I can say is that it’s my favorite Disney roller coaster!
One of the funnest and best rollercoasters I’ve been on!
Love this coaster. It’s a modern day Space Mountain that amazing and incredibly smooth!
I've been on Guardians 3 times now and every time the song is Everybody Wants to Rule the World. And the last time I went on it, it had a wind chill.
This ride is so sick. Even my father who usually doesn't care for roller coasters gets in the virtual queue with me. They went real creative with it.
I’m convinced I’m the only person who felt so sick after riding this ride haha but I’m not good with rollercoasters so I guess it’s just a me thing… either way the pre-show, the atmosphere, and the music were all so immersive and made this a standout attraction
The sheer number of garbage cans and benches along the exit corridor tells me you are not alone 😉
It wasn’t just you...this ride is impressive, yes. But the only way I can describe it is it felt like the monster car accident I was in many years ago. Painful, spinning and confusing. Never again. We are pushing these things to the limit.
You definitely were not alone. I’m pretty good with coasters and still felt a bit disoriented stepping off, not to mention i have several friends who had an experience a lot like yours
Alexa you were NOT the only one. I was so terrified on this thing, I kept my eyes closed the entire ride & held on for dear life. When it was over I was legit crying and in a panic. Plus add motion sickness to this uneasy feeling! NEVER AGAIN 👎🏼
I’m right there with you. I love GOTG and I LOVED the queue but I was NOT prepared for how intense this ride was. I am prone to motion sickness at times but I was so sick after this that I had to leave and go back to the hotel, I barely made it through the ride back without getting sick and was nauseated for the rest of the evening. Im glad so many people can enjoy it because it’s such a great theme but I’ll be watching from the sidelines lol!
Truly an amazing attraction. I was nervous when I saw all the turning ability of the cars, but the way the orient you just the right way to experience each section, is perfect! I love this ride, and have only had the chance to ride it 3 times, can’t wait till November to ride again!
It feels like you're flying, especially when you begin circling the moon towards the end. This is easily the best ride on property and possibly on the entire planet. Way to go, Imagineers. You have all outdone yourselves here!
This is the best ride in all of the Disney parks and now my favorite ride of all time.
It's a great ride, might dry your eyes out, Rule the world was playing in my trip and a lot of people got sick right after the ride, old folks were dizzy, but you gotta love the new car smell the entire ride is worth it even if you stall you get a ton of jokes like it's your fault I won't spoil anything because the ride is busy. But this really feels like your in the movie even if you never seen any of them
Great video as usual. And wow does the actual coaster part of the ride look absolutely beautiful
But you do know that “Dom Teretto” is just the character that Vin Diesel plays in the Fast and the Furious franchise right?!? 😝
Lol yes, well aware of that. (That's the joke lol)
R\woooosh
So cool! Thanks so much for doing these!
Your videos are fantastic. This is one of my favourite rides at Disney, its just so well done and the ride experience is fantastic
This is a great video! Just ride Avengers last weekend for the first time and was one of my favorite rides I’ve ever been on. Thank you!
I was amazed riding the first time. The teleportation room was my favorite. Once it happened I kept loud whispering "ITS POSEIDON'S FURY!" to my wife over and over again. 😂
Awesome video! I rode this coaster for the first time yesterday and it is not only the smoothest coaster ever, it’s also way more exciting than any video can capture and I highly recommend you ride it.
I don't know how Disney does their disappearing core illusion, but if it were me, the core would be below the entire enclosure. The audience would only ever see a reflection of the real core on a one-way mirror angled 45 degrees over the hole where the core sits. When the lights go out, the lights over the core would go out, and lights behind the one way mirror would come up. No moving pieces at all.
Hmm. That might work. 🤔
So a old Pepper's Ghost trick like the ballroom ghost in the Haunted Mansion.
@@MadWritter Well, it's similar, but where Pepper's Ghost relies on the transparency of the window, my idea for the illusion would rely on the nature of one-way mirrors. So when you see the core, it shouldn't look see-through like it would with Pepper's Ghost.
All that being said, I think your idea might be better. If sufficient lighting makes up for the loss in reflectiveness, you could just use plexiglass and Pepper's Ghost to make a solid-looking core. If you could, you wouldn't even need to calibrate the lights for the mirror, or match up the backgrounds, and the illusion could be even better.
There were six songs?!? I only knew about 2. The music MADE this ride, it was the best!
Mos satisfying ride i have ever been on. Keep your arms up and feel like your flying.
This is the most amazing ride I have ever been on. I really don't even like rollar coasters, but I go for my husband, but this is completely different and I was so blown away by the entire ride.
I’m not a coaster person, so just know that going into reading the rest lol.
I thought this ride was really awesome, the graphics and the technology behind it is really just a whole nother level. Plus the first part of the queue was absolutely stunning! I feel bad for whoever has to clean all that glass at the end of the day lol.
Anywho, I don’t know if I’ll ever do it again, because it really was a lot for me, but I’m so glad to say I’ve done it. My Aunt who was with me felt the same way.
Everyone we met who had been on it LOVED it.
I’m hoping to eventually train my body to love coasters lol but right now my stomach just can’t handle hardly anything at all.
If I was a coaster girl, this ride definitely takes the cake.
Thanks for the video, I rode this last week and this week and hands down is the best Disney ride/ experience at the mo. Still love the rock n rollercoaster though. My wife loved the music choice in this ride and the smoothness of the transitions. This is the best “experience ride” in Disney and Florida. With the new “booking system” only had to queue 45 mins at the most and 20 mins at the least. Beats Tron by a mile!
Hands down the best ride on all of the Disney parks. Very very smooth.
Just got back from Disney. This is such a great ride. I don't know anything about the Guardians of the Galaxy story line, but that didn't matter. This coaster is so smooth, and the seats are very comfortable. The visuals are beautiful, and the ride is strangely relaxing, especially with a selection of six great songs. I only rode it twice, and we had I Ran by Flock of Seagulls the first time and Tears For Fears Rule the World second. I honestly still am not sure I understand the story of the coaster but I sure did enjoy it.
Rode it four times last week. 😅 the best ride I’ve ever experienced!!!
I just went to The ride on Monday 4/24/23 and had no idea what it was about. I do not like coasters, but as a fan of the movies and 10 alc drinks deep....i said, "wth! Lets go"
This video does a great job of giving a perspective of the ride. I am so glad i knew nothing about it first and cant wait to go again next time we're in Florida! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
this is definitely the best rollercoaster at disney world. I absolutely loved it!
Just rode it for the first time, amazing ride, had a blast!!
I was hesitant about it because I had heard all kinds of talk about it being rushed or being bad with the wide open spaces… but holy shit. What a coaster! It’s such a different experience, and not really knowing what I was really in for on the first ride had me actually speechless afterwards. Such a great job. On par with Hagrid’s at Universal.
My favorite roller coaster ever. Loved it. Worth the wait!
this was the first coaster I did in 20 years and I thought I was going to die, when I got off my knees hurt and I felt flushed. Can’t wait to do it again.
