The BEST Change to the Cosmic Rewind Preshow

After years of begging, Disney just made the best change to the Cosmic Rewind pre-show.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind still garners high wait times at EPCOT, and for good reason. It is a fairly reliable attraction compared to other Walt Disney World attractions (We are looking at you, Rise of the Resistance).

Not only is it the longest fully enclosed coaster in any Disney park, but it is also the first reverse-launch and first omnicoaster Disney has done. 

Even after enjoying this attraction several times, it is still difficult to take in all of the details.

Cosmic Rewind features two pre-shows before stepping aboard the attraction. The first takes place on Earth, featuring both Glenn Close in her role as Nova Prime Irani Rael and actor Terry Crews as Tal Marik.

When this show ends, guests can enter the teleportation room for the second pre-show. In this room, guests start at the Welcome Center on Earth and are transported to the Nova Corps ship.

The pre-shows help to assemble Guests to move somewhat orderly onto the attraction without creating long lines in the final room where Guests are loaded onto their starships.

While many dislike the many pre-show rooms, Disney continues to make changes to help the flow of Guests and the overall experience.

In the preshow room, with Terry Crews as Tal Marik, he would ask, "Do you know what they call themselves?" and he would then pause. Oftentimes, an EPCOT Guest may insert something funny, but often not appropriate for younger Guests.

Now the pause was replaced with a glitch, followed by Crews quickly stating, "Someone needs to tell me when I'm on". Check out the new preshow thanks to @ScottGustin:
