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!

According to Walt Disney World Site Portfolio Executive Zach Riddley, the vehicles were inspired by markings that appear on NASA Space Shuttles and other spacecraft upon reentry into Earth’s atmosphere.

But if you’re a Marvel fan, or have seen the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, you’ll also recognize the color and patterns of the Nova Corp fighter ships:

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is an upcoming roller coaster that is currently under construction at Epcot. At D23 Japan in 2018, it was confirmed that the ride would be one of the world’s longest enclosed roller coasters. It is located where Universe of Energy used to be.

Based on the Marvel Studios film Guardians of the Galaxy, this will be the first attraction at Walt Disney World to feature characters from the Marvel Universe.

Are you looking forward to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind? I definitely am!
