We’re only ONE MONTH away from taking on the mission to save the galaxy (or something like that) on the NEW Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind roller coaster in EPCOT!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
We’ve been following every single update about the ride since Disney first mentioned it as part of the big EPCOT transformation. Most recently, we got our first look at the new Wonders of Xandar pavilion from afar WITHOUT construction walls and now, you can see ANOTHER new look at the area at night!
Recently, Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley announced that Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind’s nighttime lighting would be debuting at the pavilion. He said the atmosphere is meant “to ensure that the people of Xandar have a suitable beacon for the message of peace and cooperation that they have brought to our park.”

He went on to write: “The lighting design reinforces the layering of space and scale that we focused on as we developed our exterior architecture, finishes, and color palette. We had such an amazing starting point with the pre-existing Universe of Energy building and looked for every opportunity to preserve and extend the many strong points of that facade.”

The lighting is designed to “highlight the intricate layering of masses and forms that define the building—not to mention its very imposing scale!” And, the Nova Corps Starblaster is set to be the focus of the pavilion at night in the middle of the courtyard! Riddley even noted that “its programming is intended to allow the Xandarians to play along in the vibrant skyline of our new vision for EPCOT.”

Here’s another look!
We went by the pavilion at night to check out the lighting for ourselves, so let’s take a look!
There it is!
This lighting really makes the ride pavilion pop with the different purple and red colors.
It’s a pretty sight to see!
You should definitely stop by to check out this new addition to EPCOT’s nighttime ambiance!

In case you missed it, there’s also a new commercial for the ride AND we even know what songs will play during your mission (or ride) — it’s going to be WILD. Of course, we’ll continue to keep an eye out for more news on the upcoming coaster, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for the latest!
