The session hit on anticipated news like the projected opening date for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. D’Amaro also claimed that the EPCOT transformation and reimagining will continue. During this segment, he gave everyone a huge preview of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind coaster coming soon to EPCOT.

Disney gave a first look at the tracks inside the building that will take guests on a journey through the galaxy. D’Amaro notes that the ride system will use “groundbreaking” roller coaster technology. The ride vehicles will be able to move independently at 360 degrees and have the ability to do a reverse-launch!

The cars will liken to the omnimover vehicles used in the Haunted Mansion and other Disney attractions. Only, the vehicles can move in any direction while traveling at high speed! The flexibility of the vehicle movement will allow guests to focus on certain scenes. We’re curious to see what scenes will be present during the coaster. One thing’s for sure, it will be an entirely new roller coaster experience that we haven’t seen at a Disney park before.
