We are almost to the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! We have our first look of the queue.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

We are all anxiously awaiting another completed project at Epcot. This multi-year transformation has been a wonder to beholds we see projects come to life! I love that Disney is adding more attractions to Epcot.

Although we do not have an opening date yet, Guardians of the Galaxy is set to welcome Guests this summer. A Disney executive may have leaked a more precise timeframe of Memorial Day. See that news HERE.

The latest updates include progress on both the exterior and the interior. Now, Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley shares a lengthy update on the progress being made on the attraction and the reason behind some of the creative decisions.

Instagram Update

Recently we revealed our first-look at the bold and colorful design for our load station at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind – coming to EPCOT this summer.

One of the ways that we help tell the story is by infusing details into all the various functional items that make up an attraction and this one is no different. And I’m excited to show some close up photos of these details.

Angular designs, striking use of colors, and materials all help tell the story of a Nova Corps facility. The railings, station gates and floor markings (yes, the floor is pretty cool too 😊) are all used to convey the experience in ways that might not be as obvious or apparent, but every detail is a choice that supports our story. And much of Nova Corps designs are inspired by their star symbol and that symbol makes several appearances in the space in striking illuminated graphics.

Seen in these new close-up images of our station gates have a weight and scale to them to help convey the industrial nature of the area. Handrails made from stainless steel give a sturdy and durable feel and show the precision craftsmanship of the Nova Corps.

An attraction of this scale includes many thousands of design details that work together to create mood, place and action – and these are just a few of the many you’ll see here. Thank you to everyone working hard to put our finishing touches on this experience – inside and out.
