Just rode Guardians twice (in one day), this weekend. The front of the train is the better spot. I thought the theming was fine, but the “normal” queue is much better than the Lightning Lane queue. I didn’t really see any obvious budget cuts, but I also know the ride had an enormous cost. No spoilers… but it continues the new queue” illusion” trend in Orlando parks. Not really sure what to compare the coaster ride experience to. Happy with the 42-inch height requirement. It was smoooooooth. I can certainly see how it causes nausea. We had two different songs. As a Disney / EPCOT fan, I really enjoyed the story and its connection to Disney World. The story gets “rushed / lost” somewhat in the actual ride experience… but it is a roller coaster moving fairly quickly.

Had the chance to preview on my CP and I wholeheartedly agree, although I do prefer the 2nd to last row for the time jump. During the preview it bypassed the pre-show so it was incredibly confusing and even on the full version it doesn't seem to be as cohesive of a story onride. Still Loads of great fun with good forces in parts though.
Well Sleigh Ride by ANYONE seems like a miss. I feel like the Weezer version of “O Come all ye” has the right energy. Run Rudolph Run. Honestly, Ho Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rhum by Jimmy Buffett would be fun.
There’s so many fun music overlays they could do seasonally TBH. Monster Mash/Thriller around Holloween. Stuff like that. (If they do already, I apologize I’ve only been there when no overlay is happening).
it makes me real happy to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra on the list, that song specifically is burned into my nostalgia for the Osborne Lights!
Right? I've been so bothered that they don't use the original Holiday Special banger they made. It so obviously should be in any holiday mix lineup.

Here It Is Christmastime is probably too slow for on-ride, but I could see it being good for the exit coordinator or similar.

Just wild to me to do a Christmas overlay and not use the two original Christmas songs that were produced for the franchise. Maybe there's some insane rights issue?
