Ride Update
The self-guided tour queue features: • The Galaxarium - a sweeping planetarium- style space showcasing planets, stars and other intergalactic wonders that connect Terra (Xandarian word for “Earth”) and Xandar.
• The Xandar Gallery – where guests learn more about the Xandarian people, culture, and history, through specially crafted displays including models of starships and a Xandarian city.
• The Phase Chamber - where guests instantly teleport from EPCOT to a Nova Corps Starcharter cruiser orbiting Earth and where they learn more about the Cosmic Generator, a piece of Xandarian technology that creates jump points – artificial tunnels in space allowing for rapid travel across the galaxies.
Clued in guests will understand the words “jump point” signal something unique is about to begin.
“BACK!” Everyone then enters the launch bay – and the coaster - to join the Guardians of the Galaxy as they go, to quote Gamora, “Back!”
And that is when the real fun begins. Described as
Disney’s first Omnicoaster, the unique trains provide a smooth adventure unlike any other. Each car rotates independently, providing a private experience for guests in each car, separate from what the cars ahead and behind are seeing and taking in. “From the very first launch – an unexpected, quick,
and smooth movement – you are transported with the Guardians back through time and space,” said Kevin Doxey, Show Set Designer, Walt Disney Imagineering. “The train’s design and fully controlled rotations allow us to ensure you’re not just watching the story unfold, but instead are in the middle of it, focused on each moment as it happens.”
The attraction
covers more than 200,000 square feet, with its main show building stretching longer than an American football field.
