We’ve already gotten a look at the villain that will be at the center of the story, a look at the queue, and even a peek at Cast Member costumes. But now we’ve got exciting news about one aspect that is a signature feature of the Guardians of the Galaxy films: the MUSIC!

Disney recently released the FULL LIST of songs that’ll be featured in the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction. The “Awesome Mix” of songs will feature:

  • September
  • Disco Inferno
  • Conga
  • Everybody Wants to Rule the World
  • I Ran
  • One Way or Another

Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley also shared some details about the song list on his Instagram. According to Riddley, Imagineers rode the Guardians ride “hundreds” of times to test out the different songs before narrowing it down to the 6 that were picked. From what we understand, the soundtrack won’t be the same each time you ride it (in other words, you could get a different song out of the 6 picked each time you ride), so that’ll add to the overall experience!

Riddley even got to ride the attraction while they were testing the soundtracks and at one point got to ride it 30 times in just 2 days! WOW!

Riddley shares that the team was looking to find that “perfect balance for the song choices with fun energy, a flow that matched the major movements of the ride, and (where we could) lyrics that gave a fun nod to the story of our attraction….a chase across space and time to save the galaxy from our recently-announced villain, Eson, a Celestial who is larger than a planet! 
”

If you were worried about all of those songs that didn’t make the cut for the on-ride soundtrack, don’t fret! According to Riddley, you’ll still get to hear some of them (several dozen actually) in the exit corridor as you’re leaving the attraction.
