After more than a year closed thanks to Covid, Disneyland Resort in Southern California is set to reopen Friday, April 30. It also sets off the final countdown to the debut of one of Disney’s most hotly anticipated projects—the new Avengers Campus there.
Originally scheduled for a July 18, 2020 reveal, construction on the Avengers experience was halted when Disneyland shut its doors and the launch was pushed back.
But now, as the Avengers are getting ready to assemble, take a look at what’s in store for the new land and its superheroes like Spider-Man, Captain America, Black Panther, Thor and more.
Avengers Campus will stretch across six acres in California Adventure Park, which has come a long way since it was built in 2001 on the grounds of Disneyland’s former parking lot. Similar to “Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge” — which has locations at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida — this new Marvel-themed land will celebrate one of Disney’s biggest franchises, bringing the beloved comic book brand to life with rides, food, and characters.
According to the website BlogMickey.com, the story concept behind the new land is that Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man (a genius billionaire inventor and founding member of the Avengers) has taken a former secret complex and transformed it into the Worldwide Engineering Brigade (aka, WEB). Throughout the land, the Avengers will be using rides and encounters to “recruit” new members.
On April 26, Avengers Campus showed up on Google Earth and Google Maps, giving an aerial sneak peek with the recognizable Avengers logo imprinted on the ground.
At the center of the action is Avengers Headquarters. A sleek metal space-age structure, the building is topped with a Quinjet.
Avengers Headquarters will be the portal into an e-ticket ride to Wakanda, the fictional country that is home to Black Panther.
