Avengers Campus: E-Watch! (Waiting on the new ride)

[Scott Fassett]

Ughhhh, everything about Web Slingers is awful…..the name, the queue, the story, the bareness, the way it closes in on the entrance to Avengers Campus and makes it look like a hallway, the front of the attraction building acting as the exit and those stupids damn cutesy, cartoony robot spiders.

I was NOT excited for this ride whatsoever, but was pleasantly surprised by it. Of course, I wish it was more, but I expected to HATE it, and I found myself smiling all the way through. The Avengers ride better deliver though, otherwise Avengers campus is a huge swing and a miss

shoot I like webslingers for what it is. Its def not a major ride but meant to supplement the e ticket Gaurdians Tower, an when phase 2 opens with the other major e ticket and smaller attraction I think WS will really help round out the lineup. A lot of my opinion of AC rides on phase 2, as of now I give it a C

I don't expect any of the Disneyland Forever "lands" shown for the project's approval to actually be what Disney is building. Even at the time they were shown it was said by Disney they are placeholder ideas of what the lands could be.

Same. If anything, I'd say the odds of a Villains land on the Disneyland side of the expansion (across the street from Haunted Mansion) is slightly higher than anything else, but hardly something I'd put money on.

When Disney finally makes an X-Men attraction or land they will likely use the new MCU versions. And it probably wont happen until several X-Men movies later, so at least 10+ years from now.
So it would be nice for the Fox X-Men to have something in the parks, and for the fans too. That's why I hope it happens.

From what I recall of the Peter Pan ride at DisneySea, it wouldn’t be that difficult to swap out some of the scenes and change them over time—not easy peasy, but doable…similar to Star Tours or Millennium Falcon, I think? If the Mandalorian reskin of SmugglersRun is popular (and drives an attendance boom), I think you could see them try it with other screen based rides down the line.

Back from my vacation to Japan, and I have to say the Peter Pan ride over there made me more excited for Avengers. That ride was incredible, favorite non-Journey ride in the park.

It was our least favorite of the 3 Fantasy Springs rides— we actually let our second FP for it expire unused…I would have been happy to do it twice but even with the line skipping it was like 30 minutes and it made at least one member of our party nauseous.

For me, just being in the middle of the action with the Avengers will be hype. So the ride system and everything else will be amazing.

I’m hoping to like the AC version better (we like Marvel better than Peter Pan) but if it makes one of my family members sick, then we won’t end up doing it very often.

Oh wow, just goes to show different strokes for different folks, I guess. I love almost everything about Webslingers—the corny jokes, the concept, the pre-show, the adorable spider bots, the quest for “best this day”, etc.…we go to DLR 1-2x a month and it’s the only ride on the DCA side that’s a must do each trip…I refer to my arms as “body by webslingers” as it’s the only real exercise I do on my triceps… and when things are stressful at work or in the news I hear S.H.A.R.I.N. cheerfully upgrading threat protocols and it makes me smile.

I’ll agree with you the way it’s laid out within the land was an odd choice though!

I enjoy webslingers and Peter Pan at DisneySea so maybe I’m the real unicorn here? Lol

It’s great to enjoy everything!

Even the new rides I don’t think I’ll like (cough, Pandora, cough), I’m grateful for because it will make it easier to pull LLs on the rides I do like.

Both are lackluster versions of better previous attractions that came out decades earlier. I think that's the biggest problem.

I feel this. Although I’m willing to give Pan / Avengers a chance as it sounds like the screen -set integration and apparent grandiose nature/ scale of the attraction might set it apart from Spiderman at IOA and Transformers.

I put Pan above the two Universal options. But I like them all.

 

[MarvelCharacterNerd]

I'm just still impressed by the scale of this thing.

I watch the building grow every time I'm there but since we are separated by walls it seems smaller than it is because we are only seeing one piece of it at a distance.

I still don't love how the new bathroom will block the view/reroute traffic from Cars Land though I understand the desire to change the view thematically. But I always found seeing the Quinjet from the edge of Cars Land aspirational from one vehicle area to another.

Here are some photos from last weekend of the backside of the new building, as the exterior is getting closed up, as viewed from the roof deck of the Desert Palms hotel just south of the site:

It’s difficult to tell what’s going on inside, but it appeared that the main portion of the building is likely 2 stories at a height tall enough for show scenes. The shorter portion on the right is 3 stories (or one very tall ground floor with one shorter floor above; the lower portion is obscured by the Candy Cane Inn) at a height more typical of standard buildings, likely for maintenance, utilities, storage, break rooms, etc. There’s also a beam protruding from the wall near the northern end of the building that will likely be used for loading equipment and vehicles into the building.

Including the parapet wall along the roof, the new building is roughly the same height as the low parts (between the tailfins) of the Carsland rock work. While they weren’t visible from the same vantage points, it appears to be taller than the Racers show building.

Anybody got there money on a summer 2027 opening?

That seems likely at this point. I'm still holding out slim hope for a winter 2026 opening to coincide with Doomsday. But even winter 2027 is fine because it'll coincide with Secret Wars opening.

My guess is we'll hear opening dates at D23.

Hearing an opening date for this attraction at D23 is a forgone conclusion unless we hear about it sooner. Considering D23 is in August and that it should be opening sometime in the next 18 -24 months max. Coco is the bigger question. How much we’ll hear about that since technically it could/should be the last D23 before Coco opens up too. But you never know. Coco could totally open in 2029.

I don't think this goes into 2028, late 2027 I think would be the latest this opens, so somewhere between 18-20 months is max opening in my opinion. I'd pin down August 2027, but I hope its earlier.

As for Coco, I think we'll get more concept art, but don't know about an opening date. I think it all depends on when they go vertical for construction, if they haven't done that by D23 I don't think they will talk opening dates.

I think it’ll open in summer 2027 too but I’d lean longer than shorter range since this is Disney we’re talking about.

Yeah I won’t feel comfortable saying Coco will/ may open in 2028 until I see something vertical but for whatever reason I’m starting to think Coco might be 2029 in spite of the “they want it open by the Olympics” rationale.

Edit: Just checked. Coco 2 comes out in 2029? For sure 2029 then. They’d rather go for that synergy and take their time and spread out the construction. As if people from out of town for the Olympics won’t go visit DL that summer unless Coco is open. Most people visiting likely haven’t seen at least a handful of new attractions. Including Avengers which will likely be less than one year old.

A new offering for Olympics does make sense, so unless there are going to debut something else, Summer 2028 still seems doable to me for Coco, but we'll see.

What's working with your timeline is that both Avengers and Coco are rides only, not full lands. They could easily have those two offerings open by 2028 (I think), given that early work does seem to have finally started on Coco now, if they want to.

I just liked 2031 cuz it stuck with the odd numbers but I could see Avatar being done for the 75th anniversary in summer 2030. Anywhere from there through 2031 Md they can spin it like it was for DCA’s 30th
