Guests Horrified as Unexpected Emergency Unfolds in Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT

For years, Disney fans have debated what the worst experience in a theme park queue could be. A ride breaking down while you’re in line? An unbearable wait time with no shade? Getting stuck behind that family who keeps letting people cut ahead?

Turns out, none of those compare to what guests in Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind’s queue experienced recently.

What Happened in the Cosmic Rewind Queue?

A viral TikTok video captured the moment guests realized that their wait time had just turned into something far worse than anticipated. The footage showed people holding their noses and covering their faces as they shuffled forward—because someone had, quite literally, lost control of their bodily functions inside the queue.

Yes. Poop. On the floor. On the walls. Right there in the Cosmic Rewind line at EPCOT.

And here’s the wildest part: Guests didn’t leave.

Even as the smell filled the air and visible evidence of the incident was right in front of them, many guests decided they were too close to their intergalactic adventure to turn back.

A Disney Park Horror Story

Cosmic Rewind is one of Disney’s most popular rides, and it’s not hard to see why. The innovative coaster features high-speed thrills, a smooth ride system, and an awesome soundtrack. But let’s be real—if you’re standing in a queue that just became an impromptu public restroom, is it really worth sticking it out?

The most baffling part of this entire situation is that there are restrooms just outside the ride. If nature calls while you’re in a queue, you can let a Cast Member know and they’ll usually allow you to exit and re-enter. Apparently, whoever was responsible either didn’t know this—or didn’t have time.

The Bigger Picture

This is just one of many bizarre guest incidents that have happened at Walt Disney World over the years. From fights breaking out over fireworks spots to guests sneaking into restricted areas, there’s no shortage of unusual behavior in the parks. But this particular incident will go down in history as one of the grossest.

For future reference, let’s all agree on one thing: if you even think you might need a bathroom break, take it before getting in line because no Disney ride is worth becoming the unfortunate main character in a story like this.
