Some changes have been made at EPCOT’s most popular attraction, and it’s made the experience a lot less…chaotic!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is one of, if not THE most popular attraction at EPCOT. If you’ve ever ridden it, you’ve gotten to experience the thrills of the roller coaster and the amazing immersiveness of the queue line. However, you’ve probably also run into an issue that happens EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
We love everything about Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind…except one thing. After you go into the teleportation room and get teleported up to the Xandarian ship, everyone runs over to the three doors on the right. Those doors lead to the last little bit of the queue line of the ride.
Pre-show of Cosmic Rewind
All of the doors used to open at the same time, which created a crowd rush issue when creating the next line. Disney fixed this by not opening the middle door of the three doors anymore, but there have still been issues of just people trying to get through as fast as possible. Well, now that issue has been tackled by Cast Members!

Now, both the right and left doors open at the same time, but then they hold one side and let those guests cross up the ramp. After they’ve moved through, they let the other group through.
Lining up for Cosmic Rewind
There are two or three Cast Members in that room waiting to guide guests now. The middle door is closed with a rope up, but that’s been the case for a while now. It’s the number of Cast Members and the passing through doors one at a time that’s new.

We’re hoping this change helps with the crowd flow and control a lot better than it’s been in the past with this ride. We think it’s a good change, and one that will work.

I think it would be easier on this ride if they let less people through or created a queue line that a cast member guides you through from that room.
