Epcot Will Add ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Ride In 2021

Disney Parks recently announced at the D23 Expo in Japan that a Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster will be housed in Epcot.


Disney Parks Editorial Content Director Thomas Smith said in a blog post that the new roller coaster will be one of the longest enclosed roller coasters in the world.

“With the Guardians of the Galaxy-inspired coaster, we’re going big,” Smith wrote. “This one-of-a-kind family attraction will be one of the world’s longest enclosed roller coasters when it’s added to Future World at Epcot. It’ll feature a unique story currently being created by Walt Disney Imagineering and include a new innovative ride system that’s guaranteed to ‘wow’ guests.”

Smith also said the new roller coaster is part of the company’s efforts to make Epcot more of a family-friendly experience. Disney also wants this ride to help make Epcot more timeless, more relevant and more “Disney.” He also referred to Bob Chapek,

“As we build upon its core mission of optimism and hope to inspire the world, the real will become fantastic and the fantastic will become real—in whole new ways at Epcot,” Bob Chapek, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts’ chairman, said.

The Guardians of the Galaxy ride is expected to open in 2021, coinciding with Walt Disney World Resort’s 50th anniversary.
