Guardians of the Galaxy!

Saw a report that they are now doing push/pull tests on Guardians of the Galaxy rollercoaster in Epcot. Does anyone know of any history of how soon a ride will open after they perform these tests? Seems to me that this ride should be open by January? Am I far off? Just wishful thinking?

It is nowhere near ready, actually. There is still a lot of stuff to do. I would be surprised if this ride opened before summer.

Bummer

Yeah, with a ride with as many on-track (things like launches, lifts, car spins, etc) and off-track (screens, special effects, pre-show, theming) elements as this, we’re at least 12 months out. I would say early 2022 is my best guess.

So like should I plan riding it before or after my Space 220 ADR?

Definitely before, for fear of getting sick…but then ride Remy after your ADR!

:joy:

I’ve decided to stop holding out hope and start thinking of Space 220 as vaporware, haha. It just makes all the delays hurt a little less.

I can deal with no Guardians, no Remy, no Space 220 for this trip. But I’m still mourning the loss of PeopleMover. :frowning:

oh gosh, I can only imagine. We’re there in mid-January and I’m praying with all my might that they actually reopen the Peoplemover on time…this time.
