Through today’s announcement of a D23 Gold Member preview for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT, we now have an official height requirement for the attraction: 42 inches.
What’s Happening:
- All guests looking to ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind must meet the minimum height requirement of 42” (107 cm), or else they may not ride.
- To put that height requirement into perspective, here are the thrill attractions at Walt Disney World with lower height requirements:
- The Barnstormer – 35”
- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad – 40”
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train – 38”
- Splash Mountain – 40”
- Mission: SPACE – 40”
- Test Track – 40”
- Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run – 38”
- Slinky Dog Dash – 38”
- Star Tours – 40”
- Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance – 40”
- The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror – 40”
- DINOSAUR – 40”
- Kali River Rapids – 38”
- The only four attractions with a higher requirement are:
- Space Mountain – 44”
- Rock ‘n Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith – 48”
- Avatar Flight of Passage – 44”
- Expedition Everest – 44”
- Theoretically, you’d expect the thrill level for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind to lie somewhere between that of say Test Track and Rock ‘n Roller Coaster, but this is entirely a subjective matter.
- Height requirements are also decided based on the design of the ride vehicle and the restraints, and the ones for Cosmic Rewind look to be relatively roomy.
- Cosmic Rewind is surely going to be more thrilling than Space Mountain, but the older coaster has a higher height requirement, likely due to an older train design.
- Whatever the height requirement, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is sure to be one of, if not the most thrilling attractions in the history of Walt Disney World.
