Disney has provided a brand new look at the ride vehicles for Epcot’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind coaster. The roller coaster cars will be able to make controlled spins to direct guests toward specific scenes along the indoor track.
Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley provided a look at the coaster’s cars.
Riddley’s caption:
Here is an exclusive sneak peek of two of our ride engineers as they prep some of EPCOT’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind vehicles at our warehouse in Florida. If you look closely at the colorful paint design on the vehicles (called coaches in roller coaster engineering parlance), each one is unique with different wear patterns and impact marks. Imagineers were inspired by markings that appear on NASA Space Shuttles and other spacecraft upon reentry into Earth’s atmosphere. We can’t wait to share more on this truly out-of-this-world, awesome attraction as we make progress on construction and put these coaches on the track!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind was originally anticipated to open in 2021, but construction delays and budget cuts have likely pushed its opening back to 2022.
