Attraction Background
Let’s first discuss this spectacular new attraction and how it came to be in Epcot. The highly anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind opened on May 27, 2022. It took nearly five years for this marvelous new ride to debut.
Get it? Marvelous? Because GOTG is a Marvel comic. I’ll see myself out.
Cosmic Rewind is one of the fastest coasters on
This thrilling journey through the stars features; a backward launch, unpredictable twists and turns, and a rotating ride vehicle. Also, did I mention it is in the dark a la Space Mountain? Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind is certainly not for the faint of heart.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Holiday Remix
Can we just stop and talk about something for a minute? It’s really bothering me. Why do the GOTG rides have such long names? Especially the holiday overlays!
Even the abbreviations are long: GotGCRHR. That’s practically a word all on its own. Ridiculous, get it together team that names attractions!
You won’t be able to catch these, truly iconic, songs at GotGCRHR during the most wonderful time of the year though. Once Epcot starts lighting their Christmas trees the holiday overlays begin! Or at least it did in 2020.

How to Tell Which Song You’ll Get on Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind

The 21st of September
There is one caveat to this strategy. On September 21 you will only get “September” by Earth Wind and Fire. Rightfully so.
Just remember this is my best estimation. I can’t guarantee that the symbol will match the song played every time.
So now you know all the songs possible on Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind. Which one is your favorite?
Just went on yesterday afternoon, had the symbol for Everybody wants to rule the world but got I ran
Discovered my new favorite song for the ride!
I just finished riding Cosmic Rewind for the third time this week. Each time the symbol didn’t match the songs. Sorry.
Ahh that’s a bummer! Do you remember which songs you did get?
The last two times we’ve been, we got the symbol that you marked as Disco Inferno, but both times got Conga. I wonder if they occasionally re-assign the logos to different songs?
Ohh! That’s interesting and it makes a lot of sense! Now, I need to go ride it a bunch again….for science.
LOL! “It could be a conscience, but it doesn’t feel very random to me.”
