Located in EPCOT’s World Discovery neighborhood, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is the first rollercoaster inside the park. This ride propels guests on a one-of-a-kind mission using both the power of special effects and innovative ride technologies.

The premise of the ride is that Xandarians traveled from their homeworld in the Andromeda Galaxy to Earth – or Terra, to create the Wonders of Xandar pavilion to share more about their people and their advanced technologies.
Star-Lord chose EPCOT as the place for the Wonders of Xandar Pavailion after reminicing of his time at EPCOT as a small child.

Before the journey begins, guests get to be fully immersed in learning about the similarities between Xandar & our own through a planetarium-style space exhibition.

After the tour, guests are invited to board a Nova Corps Starcharter cruiser orbiting Earth.
Upon reaching the Starcharter things go awry.
Xandar is interrupted when the Celestial Eson, comes to Earth to reset reality, resulting in the Guardians of the Galaxy coming in to try and defeat him. In the chaos, guests are sent back in time to witness the Big Bang.

The combination of state-of-the-art technologies, dynamic sets, and special effects brings the story to life as riders “blast through” different environments with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
