We’re SO excited for the ride. We’ve been getting updates on it for a while, with a look at the ride vehicles, news of filming for the ride, and even a look inside. Construction is moving along nicely, and we just got another update about an important part of the project!

Installation has begun on the Nova Corps Starblaster ship at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT! Imagineer Zach Riddley shared these images of the new construction.

The ship will be at the entrance to the ride, and be a whopping 51-feet tall! This is the first-ever, full-size Nova Corps ship, which is super exciting.

Once it’s done, the ship will be “the signature icon of the Wonders of Xandar pavilion,” according to Riddley.

We went by today to check it out and could juuust see over the top of the construction walls that things were happening!

What’s going on?!

We could see the crane that was helping to install the ship.

So exciting!

We can’t WAIT to see this thing once it’s completed, and to go on the ride, of course! We’ll be on the lookout for more Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind updates, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
