Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT Running at Half Capacity With Repeated Shutdowns, Guests Report

With no official explanation, guests are encountering longer waits during EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival.

Overview

  • Multiple guest accounts say only one of the ride’s two loading platforms is operating, cutting throughput roughly in half.
  • Reports describe frequent full stoppages, including pre-show blackouts and escorts through backstage areas without riding.
  • Cast Members have told some visitors that just one side is active, leading to extended waits even for Lightning Lane users.
  • Disney has not provided a statement on the issues, and suggested causes from observers remain unconfirmed.
  • The disruptions are affecting trip plans during a peak festival period, prompting some guests to abandon the queue.
