Walt Disney World has adjusted a moment in the pre-show for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT, removing a pause that some guests had treated as an opening to shout responses.

In the attraction’s first pre-show, Centurion Tal Marik, played by Terry Crews, asks what the people of EPCOT call themselves. Previously, the line was followed by a pause. Disney Tourist Blog reported that the video now briefly “glitches” immediately after the question before continuing to the next line, leaving less time for audience callouts.

The change is part of a series of operational adjustments reported for Cosmic Rewind’s queue over the past year. Standby and Lightning Lane guests currently merge in the first holding room before moving through the attraction’s two pre-show rooms.

Disney Tourist Blog also reported that the middle doors leading from the Nova Corps teleportation pre-show toward the loading area are blocked off. The setup encourages two lines to form, with Cast Members often stationed in the hallway where those lines meet.
