Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Virtual Queue and Lightning Lane signs

Posted: Friday May 27, 2022 7:20am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The $17 Lighting Lane access at EPCOT's new Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind sold out by 7:20am on opening day.

Most guests' first attempt to secure a ride on Cosmic Rewind was via the free Virtual Queue, which reached capacity almost instantly at its 7am opening.

Return times for the Lightning Lane purchase varied wildly during the 20 minutes that they were available, form very late into the night, through to early morning. Each refresh of the screen appeared to show different results.

The next opportunity for guests to secure a ride will be at the 1pm Virtual Queue opening.

When we visited over the summer, you could show up any time all day with your VQ from the morning, as long as it has already been called, is that still generally the case?
