About Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
- “The Omnicoaster is a first- of-its-kind programmable roller coaster ride system, where guests can be rotated along the ride track in any direction while traveling at high speeds. The Omnicoaster name builds upon the tradition of the Omnimover ride system in which Walt Disney Imagineers are able to turn guests in any direction and focus their attention on a specific scene or element.”
- During today’s presentation, D’Amaro shared that Disney is on track to open this family-friendly ride in 2021.
