Are you ready for a dance-off to save the galaxy? If you ever watched the Guardians of the Galaxy films, then you know Star-Lord loves jamming to pop music. Because music is such an important component of these films, Disney Imagineers are making sure guests get to hear an awesome soundtrack at Epcot’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind!
When Disney Imagineers were developing this family-thrill coaster, they came up with a list of more than 100 potential songs for the Starjumpers’ onboard sound system. The team rode the attraction over and over again (it’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it) testing how various tracks fit with the spirit and the movement of the coaster. They finally settled on this “Awesome Mix” of six songs, in their classic versions:
- “September” – Earth, Wind & Fire
- “Disco Inferno” – The Trammps
- “Conga” – Gloria Estefan, Miami Sound Machine
- “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” – Tears For Fears
- “I Ran” – Flock of Seagulls
- “One Way or Another” – Blondie

You won’t know which track you’ll hear each time you ride until you actually blast off with the Guardians on an intergalactic chase through time and space. You’ll need all the encouragement you can get, too, because the Guardians are asking for our help to stop the Celestial known as Eson.
The Celestial is looking “to right a wrong in a big way,” and the Guardians of the Galaxy — Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot — step in to help save the day. But, they can’t do it alone and need our help to stop him from completing his grand plan!
But what can park guests do for the cosmic heroes? We’ll have to find out when the ride opens to park guests!
Come help them save the galaxy (again!) beginning May 27 when Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind officially opens at EPCOT.
