I Tore My Retina on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator shares a personal medical experience involving a retinal tear sustained while riding the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction at EPCOT. He explains that he has a pre-existing severe astigmatism, a condition that makes him prone to retinal issues. He describes how the intense g-forces from the ride's launch and spinning motion likely exacerbated his condition, leading to increased floaters and flashes of light. After seeking medical attention, a specialist confirmed the retinal tear and treated it with a laser procedure. The creator notes that there is ongoing debate among medical professionals regarding whether theme park rides contribute to such injuries. He concludes by advising guests to seek medical attention if they notice unusual symptoms after riding attractions, noting that others have reported similar experiences on different rides. The video also covers various Disney park updates, including Jungle Cruise improvements, the removal of Jedi Training signs, and new food offerings at Disney Springs.
