Disney Sets Opening Date for Avengers Campus in California
Disney has finally released the computer visualizations of the Avengers Campus, offering a sneak peek at the first images of the attraction that will open on June 4 at California Adventure park.
After more than a year of closure, the shutdown is about to end as the theme park, together with next-door Disneyland in Anaheim, will have its reopening on April 30. But it will be initially offered for residents of California and will have limits in terms of capacity.
According to Deadline, Disney's executives shared in a press briefing and a blog post the latest details regarding the widely anticipated "Marvel-ized" portion of the theme park.
In the blog post, the executives promised that the fans and patrons would be invited to team up with their favorite Avengers heroes together with their allies, living out their "Super Hero dreams."
Moreover, the executives also mentioned that the Avengers Campus is composed of numerous heroic locations that are hosted by different Avengers. Each Avenger will share their technology and knowledge with the recruits based on their powers.
Avengers Campus Tour
One of the areas is the WEB or the Worldwide Engineering Brigade, which Spider-Man heads. The location will feature "WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure," the first Disney ride-through attraction with Spidey, voiced by Tom Holland, the latest actor who portrayed the famous comic character.
Disney added that Spider-Man would be swinging into action high above the Avengers Campus with never seen before gravity-defying acrobatic stunts in a Disney theme park.
The film franchise, which is a rare Marvel property, does not belong to Disney. However, it can use it for theme park purposes.
Another area of the campus features the Guardians of the Galaxy. There is also a section intended for Doctor Strange aside from other characters who will roam inside the campus.
Disney also teased Marvel fans that they may have heroic encounters with superheroes like Iron Man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Black Widow, and partners like Ant-Man and The Wasp.
The Campus will also feature superhero Thor and his villain brother Loki which means that villains will also be present at the campus. Some of the villains will be making their first appearances at the Avengers Campus, Movieweb reported.
Disney's New Team
Meanwhile, Josh D'Amaro, the chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, shared that Disney is creating a multidisciplinary team. The team will be in charge of developing groundbreaking ideas that will be shaping extraordinary guest experiences.
The overall approach to the theme parks business has undergone a reappraisal due to the absence of crowds. Some of the changes currently imposed in this time of pandemic are so huge based on the executives.
D'Amaro noted that the Avengers Campus would give patrons a different Marvel experience. He also promised that the parks would be technology-ridden and will be exploring the metaverse. Aside from the featured superheroes, the Disney park will also be offering futuristic features, SYFY Wire reported.
