/* Phase Chamber */
Over the next two years, work continued on the Guardians of the Galaxy attraction. During this time, Disney announced that the attraction would be one of the world's largest indoor roller coasters, and that it would feature a unique ride system that allowed Imagineers to have each individual ride vehicle turn on demand. This allowed Imagineering to focus guests attention on specific scenes, and improved their storytelling ability. When commenting on the new ride vehicles, Walt Disney CEO Bob Chapek explained:

{{Quotation| "On most coasters, the vehicles point straight ahead throughout the ride,” Bob explained. “But on this attraction, each individual cab will be programmed to direct your eye to the story happening around you. That means instead of whizzing by the action, you’ll be fully immersed in the story from the minute you launch." <ref> https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/guardians-of-the-galaxy/news/15nov2018-photo---guardians-of-the-galaxy-coaster-ride-vehicle-concept-art.htm </ref>}}

Upon entering the Wonders of Xandar pavilion, guests find themselves in the Galaxarium— a planetarium-like exhibition showcasing the similarities and differences between Xandar and Terra (Earth's) galaxies. Hosted by Worldmind, a Xandarian super computer, who explains that the Xandarians have come to EPCOT to learn about the people of Terra. The goal of the Xandarians is to learn from the Terrans and promote understanding. In the Galaxarium, guests also learn a series of similarities and differences between Xandar and Terra. These include:
====Xandar Gallery====

Moving on past the Galaxarium, guests enter the Xandar Gallery. Here, guests can see a full-scale model of the Xandar City Centre, a models of various star ships and even uniforms worn by various Nova Corps officers. This section of the queue also features a tribute to Walt Disney and his original plans for EPCOT. When Walt and his plans are shown, Worldmind notes:
Gamora, Drax, Peter, Rocket and Groot also argue about who the real hero of Xandar was. With Rocket declaring himself the captain of the team, and both Gamora and Rocket imploring the interviewer not call Peter Quill Star-Lord. Eventually, the Guardians admit that it was Peter's idea to save Xandar.
====Preshow RoomPhase Chamber====[[Image:Gaurdianscall.png|400px|thumb|The Guardians of the Galaxy after being called in by the Nova Corps]]
After passing through the Xandar Gallery, guests enter the attraction's preshow room. Here, they are greeted by Commander of the Nova Corp, Nova Prime Irani Rael, who welcomes guests on behalf of all Xandarians. She then gives a brief recap of Xandar and Terra's joint history, and introduces the Cosmic Generator, a piece of Xandarian technology.
And now, as a culmination of the Wonders of Xandar, you will be teleported a Nova Ship above your planet, for demonstration of the Cosmic Generator. I trust that you will find it an unforgettable experience.}}
At this point, guests are Welcomed as "Epcot Terrans" and given a brief safety spiel by Centurion Tal Marik. Everyone then enter the chamber where phase chamber they are teleported to the Nova Ship. Tal Marik warns guests that this is the first time that Terrans will be teleported, which will work as long as everyone stands where they are told.
====Nova Ship====
After teleporting to the Nova Ship, Nova Prime shows off the Cosmic Generator, which is located in front of guests. At this moment, the power goes out in the ship and the Cosmic Generator is stolen. The Guardians of the Galaxy are then called in. As they try to figure out what happened, the Celestial Eson appears out the ship's main window and creates a jump point Jump Point with the stolen Cosmic Generator. As the Eson enters the portal he ominously states that he is going to "fix a mistake". Peter Quill and the Guardians then tell Terry Crews to follow Eson, but he informs them that they cannot, because the Nova Ship's power is out, and he has to escort guests to escape shuttles to safety. Rocket interjects at this moment, stating that he has reprogrammed the shuttles to follow the celestial through the Jump Point. Guests then go into the next room where they board their ride vehicles, beginning the attraction.

As guests leave the load area, the begin to travel to the jumppoint. Here, the Guardians of the Galaxy appear on screen and inform them that they have locked onto their ship's coordinates and will be right behind them. Rocket, although the one who suggested the plan, casually informs his teammates that "this will never work".
After entering the jumppoint guests find themselves face to face with Eson, who tells them that "it was useless to follow me". With Earth shinning in the background, Eson holds the Cosmic Generator in his hands. At this point, the Guardians arrive and shoot the Cosmic Generator out of the Celestial's hands. The ensuing explosion sends guests flying backwards (both literally and figuratively) in time , all the way to the Big Bang. As the ships are blown backwards, a randomized rock n roll song begins to play. The Guardians and Terrans then chase Eson through a series of jumppointsJump Points, until the Nova Corp arrives and helps to recover the Cosmic Generator from Eson. Having once again saved the universe, the Guardians lead the Terrans through a series of jumpholes Jump Points that takes them to the Milky Way, and then Earth's moon before arriving back on Earth. As guests return to the Wonders of Xandar pavilion , Peter Quill.welcomes them as (honorary) Guardians of the Galaxy.
