The Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure in Disneyland Resort is poised for a significant expansion, with the size of the area set to double. This major development will introduce two brand-new attractions that will immerse guests in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with construction on this ambitious project slated to begin next year.

Avengers Infinity Defense

One of the upcoming attractions is Avengers Infinity Defense, a multi-world adventure that will allow guests to team up with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in a battle across iconic Marvel locations. The plot centers around advanced technology that enables the Avengers to jump between worlds, which has mysteriously gone missing. This technology has fallen into the hands of King Thanos, who is using it to wreak havoc across the multiverse.

Guests will join forces with a variety of Marvel heroes as they travel through realms such as Asgard, Wakanda, and New York City. The attraction promises encounters with characters of all sizes, from the tiniest to the most formidable. The journey will also bring guests face-to-face with King Thanos himself in a climactic showdown.

Stark Flight Lab

In Stark Flight Lab, Tony Stark has a new mission for recruits. Guests will board two-person pods and be transported to a test station. The ride’s centerpiece is a robot arm that grabs the pod and sends it spinning through a simulated flight, providing a unique and immersive experience.

Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his role as Tony Stark, adding an authentic touch to the experience. Stark will guide guests through the attraction, making them feel like they are part of his latest experiment.

Yeah I’ll admit. When I posted that I hadn’t seen the whole episode of we call it imagineering yet. And by the time I actually watched it I had forgot about my post.

Or they did it for exactly why they said they did it, which is they thought about how the robot arms in Iron Man have a personality and behave like people do, they thought about how a group of those arms together are basically performing a kind of dance, and they thought they could combine the two together where it’s a choreographed dance but you can still see the personalities of each individual dancer. And then they thought well why don’t we get some video and data of humans dancing to reference as we create the animation. In my mind it’s no different from an animation studio filming real people and animals for reference, which Disney does (or at least used to do) all the time. How much of that is actually able to be picked up on in the final product is yet to be seen of course. But I think the idea is cool.

Yeah, I meant the Disney Adventure cruise ship as seen above (They have way too many things with the word Adventure in the last few years)

Somehow even with the all the comparisons to the Peter Pan ride at Disney Sea and transformers I didn’t realize or lost sight of the fact that the Avengers ride will be 3D.

I think they’re talking about the Disney Adventure cruise ship lmao

Oh I didn’t hear about that. And wow I’m reminded of what an awful name for a theme park that is.

Especially if you considere the Guardians spinner their designing for the Disney Advenure, I'm glad they didn't consider cloning it for DCA

You get to control the arm.

Somewhere in my alternate Universe DCA kept TOT, put an Avengers Coaster in the expansion area and gave us that swinging pendulum ride for Spiderman. Or just anything that does Spider man justice.

mickEblu17 days ago

Yeah and it’s about a good a flat ride / B ticket I can conceive for AC. Much better than a spinner or something like that.

The Kinetics should be fantastic at least, probably fun to just hang out and watch the ride go.

When everything is complete I’d say well rounded attraction roster** As in it checks boxes. Even if one is a retheme and Spideman is underwhelming. I’d rather have TOT and two new great Marvel attractions. The land as themed space will still be meh but if the concept art is accurate it looks like the E ticket entrance and flight lab area should help a bit.
