Disney World is always expanding and bringing new experiences to the parks and we are very lucky as two highly anticipated rides are coming to Disney World soon!
Let’s dive into these new rides, what you can expect and when they will open!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
This brand new, state-of-the-art ride will be opening in EPCOT on May 27th, 2022! This will be the very first Marvel ride in a Disney World Park!
This storytelling ride is unlike anything we have seen before and includes cars that rotate 360 degrees as well as having a backward launch! At 60 miles per hour, this will also be the fastest ride at Disney World!
You will start your adventure touring the Galaxarium, an exhibition where you can see the similarities and differences between Xandar and Earth’s galaxies. Alas, things do not go to plan and the Guardians of the Galaxy need your assistance as you take part in a thrilling space pursuit!
This much-anticipated ride was due to open in 2021, but due to the Disney World Parks being closed due to the pandemic the opening date was delayed until 2022.
The launching of this ride coincides with the 50th-anniversary celebrations at Walt Disney World and the 40th anniversary of EPCOT this year!
This exhilarating family-friendly ride mixes rotating cars, thrilling launches, and giant screens to immerse you in the action and is unlike any ride we have ever seen before!
The height requirement for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is 42 inches or taller.
This ride is one of the largest fully enclosed coasters in the world and sees Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, and Glenn Close reprise their roles in this brand new Guardians of the Galaxy story!
Get ready for some cool tunes as music by Earth, Wind, and Fire, Gloria Estefan and Blondie are just some of the artists you will hear during your ride.
The soundtrack changes each time so you can get
a different experience every time you ride!
Guardians of the Galaxy can be found in World Discovery in EPCOT and replaces the Universe of Energy attraction.
Cast member previews have just started and the reviews are excellent, with many people claiming it is the best ride they have ever been on!
Disney World Passholder previews start on May 8th before the ride officially opens to the public on May 27th when everyone will then be able to ride this brand new attraction!
TRON: Lightcycle Power Run
A highly anticipated new coaster will be coming to Magic Kingdom! TRON: Lightcycle Power Run has been under construction for the past 5 years! Although there is no official opening date it is predicted this new ride will open in 2023.
Originally Tron: Lightcycle Power Run was due to open in 2021 – 2022 for the 50th anniversary of Disney World. Due to the parks being closed in 2020 the construction was delayed. The good news is we are now seeing the vehicles being tested on the track which is a lot of progress and shows the
the ride is getting closer to its completion!
This coaster based on the TRON franchise will be in Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom. The cars, known as Light Cycles, look like motorbikes and will have similar seats to the ones you find on Flight of Passage. You will reach forwards as if you were on a motorbike, to hold on to the handlebars and
the restraints will be against your back and the back of your legs.
This ride will have a car that is accessible for guests with mobility issues so everyone can ride!
TRON: Lightcycle Power Run will see your light cycle travel at almost 60 miles per hour through The Grid and is both indoors and outdoors. You will travel under the iconic canopy that changes color accompanied by a soundtrack by Daft Punk.
This is the same ride as the popular attraction in Shanghai Disneyland.
The futuristic look for this ride will fit perfectly in Tomorrowland and is right next door to another iconic building, Space Mountain.
The Disney World Railroad is currently closed due to the construction of TRON as the railroad will run through the ride area!
As this ride is part indoor and part outdoors the colorful canopy not only sets the scene for this futuristic ride but also enables it to run even if it is raining.
With two brand new, highly anticipated, and super exciting new coasters coming to Disney World there are now even more reasons to take a private Disney VIP Tour at this magical destination!
