    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.

    After riding this twice, it is my favorite Disney ride of all time. The queue, music, atmosphere, and speed made me fall deeply in love. I love this ride so damn much.

    Cosmic Rewind was like my 204th coaster and it blew my mind at age 38. Imagine if this is like your 4th coaster and you're 6 years old. The bar is set SO HIGH!

    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
  • I'm 49 and my 8 year old rode this with me. I'll never forget the experience and neither will he. The bar is set so high!
  • I rode it yesterday and I'm speechless. Pandora used to be my favorite - then Rise of the Resistance opened up and BLEW ME AWAY...then THIS? How is Disney going to top THIS? I've never seen it's equal in any ride ever in my life and I'm a coaster junkie! It's likely the best coaster on the planet! The whole experience was one of a kind. I'm so lucky I get to work for this amaing company and I get to ride these rides whenever I want. Want an experience!!!

    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
  • Honestly whenever I watch your videos you don’t spoil the magic for me or ruin the experience they actually make it better because I’m learning how these Imaginaires got creative to make such an amazing ride
  • Way to go. So cool to have one of these how to videos again. Nobody explains it better or makes my brain hurt more trying to take it all in. Thanks for all your work.

    I do not exactly know if you will see this, but I just want to say your “how … works” videos has shown me that I want to do mechanical engineering. I think it is the interest in how things work behind the scenes, and how amazing it would be to help put together all of the “magic” at Disney and other themed parks.

    My son and I had the pleasure of experiencing this groundbreaking ride. It was the best ride we've ever been on. If this is the new Era of rides, I'm here for it! Bravo Disney!
  • @AquaRoxas17
    Both times I’ve ridden it I’ve gotten “I Ran (So Far Away).” Probably the best song to get on this ride because the high energy of the song matches the energy of the ride.
  • @bwilliams2800
    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.
  • @danbressler
    Usually I get a sneak peek on YouTube regarding a new ride that I haven't ridden yet. But this time, I decided to refrain from seeing or hearing ANYTHING about this ride before actually riding it. When the day came to finally ride it, I was SO GLAD that I didn't know anything about it because it made the experience so much better!! This ride is WORTH THE WAIT!! It's unlike any other coaster on the planet. You will LOVE IT!!! Cannot WAIT to ride it again!! Makes me so thankful that I live in Orlando!!
  • @Slapyourmomma30
    It was just incredible! The inclusion of visual stim, spinning cars, and perfectly timed fun music just sets a new bar for roller coaster rides. I hope the extra effort in roller coaster development catches popularity and becomes the standard everywhere
  • @nnorins
    Loved this ride. I’m not a roller coaster fan and the entire engaging experience made it so fun and easy to enjoy. I’d return to Disney again just for this ride.
  • @alicialaduke
    After riding this coaster a few days ago, all I want to do is relive the amazing experience I had on the ride. I'm watching YouTube videos on it to relive the moment. 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.
  • My experience is it is probably one of the most well done roller coasters I have ever been on. The rotation of the ride vehicle give you a sensation unlike any other roller coaster I have ever been on.
  • @acastle2694
    The digital graphics along with the smooth ride were surprising! “I ran” by flock of seagulls playing the entire on an amazing sound system just sweetens the deal. The backwards aspect and spinning were a bit much for my seasoned stomach, but had I been younger I would have loved it! Great experience, highly recommended. Absolutely loved it! Thanks Disney!
