Here are the songs you can hear on the main Guardians of the Galaxy rides at Disney parks today.

Quick Scoop

There are two big Guardians rides with rotating soundtracks:

  • Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (EPCOT, Walt Disney World)
  • Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! (Disney California Adventure)

Each ride randomly pairs one song with your ride-through, so you won’t know what you’ll get until launch.

Songs on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (EPCOT)

These are the six songs that can play on Cosmic Rewind:

  • “September” – Earth, Wind & Fire
  • “Disco Inferno” – The Trammps
  • “Conga” – Gloria Estefan
  • “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” – Tears for Fears
  • “I Ran (So Far Away)” – A Flock of Seagulls
  • “One Way or Another” – Blondie

Each ride randomly selects one of these, which changes the feel of the coaster dramatically even though the track is the same.

Songs on Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! (Disney California

Adventure)

This is a different ride with its own 6‑song playlist, inspired by Star‑Lord’s “Awesome Mix” vibe:

  • “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” – Pat Benatar
  • “Give Up the Funk” – Parliament
  • “Born to Be Wild” – Steppenwolf
  • “I Want You Back” – The Jackson 5
  • “Free Ride” – The Edgar Winter Group
  • “Burning Love” – Elvis Presley

Mission: BREAKOUT! uses different “profiles” (story variations) that pair specific visuals and timing with each track, so repeat rides feel fresh.
