Individual Lightning Lane

EPCOT's first roller coaster is a groundbreaking reverse-launch indoor coaster featuring 360-degree rotating ride vehicles that spin to face the action. The Xandarian Starchild invites guests to learn about the Guardians before an Ivo Shandor incident sends you rocketing through a deep-space chase set to a surprise classic rock soundtrack — there are multiple ride songs selected randomly. One of Walt Disney World's most innovative attractions, it requires a virtual queue or Lightning Lane to ride.
