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

[BrianLo]

The more screens, the less sets & animatronics, the quicker it opens. What would you like?

This is simply not true, a reason this iteration has been as delayed as it has been relates to the screen media. There was an ongoing holdup waiting for Avengers Doomsday filming so there was actor access.

Animatronics are fully built and programmed off site.

Is it time to start talking about this ride potentially not opening in Summer 2027? Or perhaps not opening in 2027 at all. T Minus 16 months from mid Summer 2027.

Granted - I acknowledge it is somewhat ahead of Encanto. But that one strikes me as coming along too slowly than this being fast. This part of construction always make people think things are happening quickly. It will slow to what feels like a crawl soon enough.

Re-Quoting myself from August seems relevant. It has neither slowed down nor sped up, I still think it’s on a very similar timeframe to Encanto.

I’m not sure if it slowed down or not. I just look at where it’s at and it doesn’t necessarily inspire confidence for a Summer 2027 opening. So Encanto looks like Avengers and they said it’s opening in summer 2027 recently?

I never thought this was necessarily a summer project. I think it’s a 2027 project.

Yes. That seems to be back half 2027 (my interpretation) but the company keeps saying 2027. Their beam signing topping out ceremonies were within days of one another.

All recently reaffirmed around the Dinosaur closure.

That’s a good sign. Can’t wait for December 31st, 2027!

For what its worth, just because you like synergy with the movies, Secret Wars opens December 17th 2027.

Oh. Well it’s a done deal then. December 2027

Marvel/ Avengers is a little bit of a different animal since they always have content coming out.

That would be just shy of 3 years since construction started in January 2025. Which again is easy to believe at this point since they appear to want to accelerate these projects. Which mean all of them could have an under 3 year construction timeline.

Welp, I guess the 3 second clip of a guy pushing a woman on a chair in front of a screen is better than another beam signing

I’m enormously skeptical that this “first of its kind at the resort” will do anything we haven’t already seen from universal

Hopefully I’ll be proven wrong, but this video feels like sunshine pumping from someone who felt special they got invited on a tour

He spent nearly everyday for two years Sunshine Pumping Tiana’s Bayou Adventure before it opened. You’d think he’d have just a little amount of healthy skepticism now.

Ahhh to be young.

Disney had just better not screw it up

 

[WaluigiTime]

I doubt it will be a first of it's kind but I really enjoyed Peter Pan at Disneysea so I assume it will be enjoyable.

Have you also been on Uni's Transformers and/or Spiderman? I'm curious if there are any significant differences to expect.

Based on the quotes from Disney leadership about the “prototype” ride system and comparison to Rise of the Resistance, I at least take away an understanding that they understand the importance of Infinity Defense. They need the attraction to be a success. We all know it’s using the Tokyo Pan Ride system as a base. But while pan is more smooth in Tokyo I assume WDI is pushing the ride system to more thrilling levels. It really reminds me of Flight of Passage in the Imagineering Story. You can take the same ride system to give the guests thrills of serenity. So it may be similar but I don’t expect it to feel the same at all to what exists in Tokyo.

The biggest thing I want to see is Animatronics. We deserve at least King Thanos. This needs to be a statement attraction for WDI and Josh D’amaro has enough time and budget to plus the attraction at this phase in development.

I have the same question, I’m having a hard time getting excited about this because it looks very similar to rides Uni put out decades ago, neither of which I’m a huge fan of.

I haven’t, but two of my friends just got back from Tokyo and said Pan was their favorite Fantasy Springs Ride. They said it was Disney doing a more immersive and smoother version of a universal ride. Plus the setwork mixed with projections and some moving props really brings everything together. Again second hand, but they really liked it. The comparison is there but WDI is just operating at a different level and the graphics are from Disney Animation. They also said you could feel the difference between floating on water and flying and that the transition was pure magic.
