Disney released a new trailer for the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind roller coaster coming to Walt Disney World's Epcot.
The trailer features the Nova Corp calling in a distress signal that's intercepted by Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon and Groot. The team then makes a beeline to Epcot to save the galaxy from the impending threat.
Announced in 2017, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is a new roller coaster attraction launching at Epcot in May. The ride features Disney's first-ever reverse launch and is one of the biggest enclosed coasters to date. Disney's official description for the ride is below:
As part of the EPCOT transformation, strap in, get your game face on and crank up your mixtape as you twist, turn and blast through an awesome intergalactic chase. Welcome to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! A massive, first-of-its-kind family-thrill coaster only possible at EPCOT, where the Guardians of the Galaxy need YOU to save humanity on an amazing journey across space and time. Get ready to rewind, rotate and head toward the action through an exciting space pursuit.

Over on the Marvel Cinematic Universe side of things, fans are awaiting the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is being positioned as the final film in the MCU subfranchise. "It's our third film, we're gonna wrap it up," Drax actor Dave Bautista recently said. "And it's been a hell of a journey with a few bumps. So, I'm looking forward to this, man. My cast and obviously the director, James Gunn, they're like family to me. This is kind of where my journey started. It's come full circle and I'm looking forward to wrapping it up. And it's bittersweet. I mean, I've been doing Guardians since 2013. And, you know, when this comes out, it'll be in 2023, so that's a, you know, 10-year journey. You know, all things must end. And, you know, I'm looking forward to kind of wrapping this up with my friends and family."
