    The teleportation effect blew my mind the first time I experienced it. I immediately knew how they did it, but it is still SO incredible to see in person.

      I was like "WOAH! How did they do th- oh, that's how." But each time I still think it's one of the coolest things. It's even better hearing guests who have never been on before and have no idea how they did it being surprised, especially children.

      I got to ride twice last weekend. First time in the teleporting room I was blown away. The second time, I guess everyone had ridden it before, because as soon as we ‘teleported’ the entire crowd bunched up at the exit doors and ignored the entire preshow in order to be closer to the front of the line.

    i was so afraid of rollercoasters for so much of my life and this trip (last week) I decided to face my fears! I went on the Barnstormer, then Big Thunder Mountain, then Space Mountain. I decided to try Everest (definitely the most intense one I tried) and then Cosmic Rewind. Best ride ever! I was worried about motion sickness but I found it pretty minimal (although not everyone can say the same). I also went on Slinky Dog Dash. Cosmic rewind is now my new favorite ride in Disney World (I rode it 3 times, 2 VQ and one LL) and when I got everybody wants to rule the world I almost cried with joy

    I rode cosmic rewind on opening day and again two days later, and the use of spinning cars and the blaring throwback music throughout the ride makes it feel so unique and fun, the one part of the ride that has really stayed in my head is the spin you take around earth, it’s just such a cool scene and it’s the one part of the ride I really remember well

    Definitely the top coaster at Disney world, if not the best ride overall at Disney. Exceeded my expectations. It’s incredibly fast but smooth while you have a ton of cold air blowing on you which helps from getting sick. It’s really much more than a coaster, no massive drops but a lot of spinning and sharp dips. Also the best part is the music selections they chose.

My husband and I discussed right after we got off the ride that it is the best roller coaster hands down that we've ever been on. Loved the smoothness of the ride, the story, the music and had the biggest smile on my face the entire time we were riding on this coaster. Would definitely go back to Disney for this ride and would recommend for everyone to try it at least once if you get the chance.

    This was the best ride I've been on ever; only experiencing it for the first time a few weeks ago. Because of the use of rotation of the individual cars there is a lack of jarring normally felt on other coasters. Instead of being jarred suddenly into a new direction, you are pulled smoothly in that direction feeling the g-forces. No headaches or sore muscles. I think this ride is great for those that don't normally like coasters while still maintaining a level of excitement for the experienced coaster rider. 10/10

This thing is incredible. I don't know if I can bring myself to go back on it, but I am completely fascinated by it. Hands down one of the most incredible ride experiences I have ever seen. To be clear, there is nothing any more "terrifying" about this than any other Disney coaster - I am just a complete wimp, I really hate coasters lol.

    I rode this twice on opening day. I was very nervous because I can get motion sick, but if you sit in the middle cars, it doesn't cause as much of motion sickness (I also took a bonine just in case). Wish I could have ridden it more times than just twice, but it was so visually stunning. It was a perfect balance of chaos without it being too much. There are barf bags at the end because people get so sick riding it, so do take proper precautions if you get motion sick!
    In order to be available for the 1:00 ticket drop you have to already be inside EPCOT. We were at the Land Pavillion on the second level overlooking the food court. It went dead silent as the clock hit one, before echoing cheers filled the room. Probably two hundred people were in there, + whoever got passes let everyone know. I'm getting chills just remembering it, because it was so crazy to see humanity unite for a split second.

The fear of riding this was WAY worse than the actual ride. It was an awesome experience!

    I rode Cosmic Rewind last week during my first ever visit to Disney World and it was genuinely one of the coolest experiences of my life which I know sounds crazy to say. I haven't been to many amusement parks in my life which I feel in part is because I also don't typically do roller coasters. I tried some for the first time around 5 years ago and lets just say my body didn't like them too much. But after one of my friends and then my aunt went on and said it was the best coaster they've ever been on, I knew that if I didn't go on this ride during my trip a few weeks later, I would be missing out on so much. Needless to say, I am SO glad I didn't chicken out and (even though I haven't been on many) it was my favorite ride at Disney by far and I don't see anything topping it for a long time.

    One thing I like about this - it seems like a ride system that pulls together everything Disney has developed and learned about queue, pre-show effects, and our favorite purplish Epcot design vibe. With the screens, they could easily re-theme it the same way they did Universe of Energy. Imagine if they re-did classic Journey Into Imagination as an elaborate omnicoaster with this level of technology: _"and what about Science Science Science...?"_

    Before going onto this ride, i already heard/saw a few things about this ride, and I thought I somewhat knew what to expect from it. I was so wrong. One of my friends who’d ridden it already was dying laughing because all she heard from me was me screaming and yelling at the top of my lungs, “OH MY GOD” the whole time. It really is an amazing ride!

    I’m almost 32 and this will be my 3rd roller coaster ever, the other 2 being ones I was forced onto. I was hoping to do this one of my own volition, but I’m terrified of the g-force feeling. It triggers my anxiety disorder (fight or flight) and my brain goes into full-on panic mode. I’m trying to overcome it 🫠 I have until December to hype myself up, so I keep watching videos like this lol.

    I got to ride this early May. Absolutely blew me away. Screamed the entire time. Not out of fear, but no other expression of joy would suffice! I'm 58 and while Space Mtn caused me some discomfort this trip, GOTG was totally comfortable. Can't wait to ride it again!

    It tossed my tummy about a bit. I've seen a few other videos of rode footage and your clip near the end actually looked as fast as it felt. It was unlike any other coaster or ride I've ever been on. Very short, but a full experience. I couldn't figure out how going as fast as we were we still could see the screens so long until you explained it. All in all, it was worth the wait. (It was hung up for an hour for some reason as we were just about to load.)

    Recently visited Disney with my kids, wife, brother in law sister in law and niece and nephew. This was one of the first coasters we took my nephew (5 yo) on in Disney. Ride was amazing everyone cheering and laughing leaving except my nephew. He looked dazed and was very quiet. I asked him how that was and he simply added. "That was fast"

    First time I rode this I was completely and utterly blown away! I had like happy crying tears in my eyes because I was so amazed. It's such a unique experience between standing in line and making your way onto the ride and then of course the ride itself is spectacular. I will be shocked if I ever go on another ride that's better than this. Been on it 8 times and it's unbelievable every time! (Conga and I ran are the best songs)

    This ride made me feel the most free and energetic I’ve ever felt in my life dude seriously it’s that amazing. the way your body moves whether it’s the music or the smooth spins that take you through the galaxy. it’s like how you feel when you’re flying in a dream. there was an old guy that got off the ride and had to check his pulse because he coukdnt believe how fucking incredible it was. it’s truly that good and i can’t wait to hold on on it again. so freeing and magnificent

      I’m right there with you. I love GOTG and I LOVED the queue but I was NOT prepared for how intense this ride was. I am prone to motion sickness at times but I was so sick after this that I had to leave and go back to the hotel, I barely made it through the ride back without getting sick and was nauseated for the rest of the evening. Im glad so many people can enjoy it because it’s such a great theme but I’ll be watching from the sidelines lol!

    I remember the first time I went and the teleportation effect happened. The lights came back on and a bunch of people gasped and “Whoaa”-ed at it. Now that I know how they did it, it should’ve been obvious, but it’s seriously amazing. I love Cosmic Rewind, it’s a blast. Glad park hopping rules are back to normal, when I go soon I’ll be able to hit that VQ at 7 am while I go hit early park hours at Hollywood Studios for Rise!

    I don't know how Disney does their disappearing core illusion, but if it were me, the core would be below the entire enclosure. The audience would only ever see a reflection of the real core on a one-way mirror angled 45 degrees over the hole where the core sits. When the lights go out, the lights over the core would go out, and lights behind the one way mirror would come up. No moving pieces at all.

    • @generalZee
      @generalZee Před rokem +1

      @@MadWritter Well, it's similar, but where Pepper's Ghost relies on the transparency of the window, my idea for the illusion would rely on the nature of one-way mirrors. So when you see the core, it shouldn't look see-through like it would with Pepper's Ghost.
      All that being said, I think your idea might be better. If sufficient lighting makes up for the loss in reflectiveness, you could just use plexiglass and Pepper's Ghost to make a solid-looking core. If you could, you wouldn't even need to calibrate the lights for the mirror, or match up the backgrounds, and the illusion could be even better.
