The new Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Holiday Remix made its debut this morning as part of EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays.

The holiday overlay to the hugely popular Cosmic Rewind rollercoaster replaces the classic 80’s tunes with an original holiday music arrangement. The song features parts of "Run Run Rudolph" with new wording to "Run Run Rocket." Other holiday tunes that are part of the remix include "Jingle Bells," "Deck the Halls," "Go Tell It on the Mountain," and "We Wish You A Merry Christmas." No changes have been made to the pre-show or projections inside the ride.

Take a listen to the new soundtrack at the video below. (4K YouTube)

You can experience the Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Holiday Remix through December 30, 2022. Only the new soundtrack will be available during the holiday season, with the original playlist returning after the holidays.

The existing Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind song list is:

  • "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears
  • "Conga" by Gloria Estefan
  • "I ran (so far away)" by a Flock of Seagulls
  • "Disco Inferno" by the Trammps
  • "One Way or Another" by Blondie
  • "September" by Earth Wind and Fire

    OK. Sorry, didn't have a lot of sleep yesterday, slow on the uptake.

    I think he meant odd suppository, like rectal suppository as it is a laxative ;)

    It was a joke: https:///2025/03/guest-defecation-shuts-down-disney-ride-for-third-time-this-month-em1/

    That's an odd supposition...

    Maybe someone defecated near it, and the fumes weakened the glass's molecular structure!

    That's not true. Tempered glass is very susceptible to focused impacts. That's why those emergency escape tools with a tiny metal point will shatter a car's window with very little force, and why a great many tempered glass PC case side panels have shattered simply by laying them on a tile floor because one of the tiles' corners was sticking up. If something hard and pointed hit it in the right way, it wouldn't have necessarily taken much force at all.

    If someone was wearing something like a metal ring and hit it in the right place, especially near a corner, it is possible to break the glass rather easily.

    The building is just settling on a sink hole.

    Definitely not a punch, but a metal water bottle strapped to a backpack whipping around could generate a lot of power.

    Giss Neric20 days ago

    Shattering tempered glass requires a huge amount of force so I'm not sure if someone punching the glass is true.

    bmr159120 days ago

    I’m eager to hear how that happened. Someone lean on it with too much weight? A flying water bottle?

    The VQ system has finally ended today for GOTG: CR! Standby line starts tomorrow Tuesday, February 25, 2025. The VQ system was reportedly supposed to end multiple times during some lull periods, but never came to fruition. It went through 2 hurricane closures, but nearly 3 years later after the ride opened May 27, 2022, the VQ has concluded and standby is finally here. Scatterplot of every single VQ data point collected for the past 1002 days. Here's my final update for it and wrap-up post:

    I for one hope that one day they can find a way to add railings within the pre-show spaces to reduce the pain point that is the funnel at the end. Ideally, it would be tiered "rows" within the preshow space where a CM then can release each section one by one instead of the mass release. I also think Disney should really enforce kicking people out of line who exit the preshow early to get a headstart.
