Avengers Campus - Reactions / Reviews

It sounds as exciting as the Incredicoaster.

On Rat Chat people are worried that this “attraction” isn’t a ride at all. And when you think about it, the description was vague to the point where it sounds like they re not sure what they want to do there. It’s like they re leaving it open to being some sort of interactive Marvel Innoventions and not necessarily a ride. That sounds a lot more doable for a 2020 opening than a ride does.

Anyway, what am I saying. It has to be a ride... right!?

If we're being precise, the park blog article didn't mention this being ready in 2020 either.

True. Didn’t one of the past blogs mention 2020 though or was it just the rumor mill?

IIRC, when the super hero area was announced they said it would open phases starting in 2020. Maybe this is the opening phase.

Possible. But we know how much space they re working with. If this thing is some interactive Marvel innoventions it would most likely be going in the ITTBAB building... where the ride is going. The rest of Fliks fun fair is for the shops, counter service food and meet and greets.

Not to say that more Marvel can’t go in Hollywood backlot or elsewhere but I’d assume they want the Spider-Man stuff together.

Or maybe this 2020 Spider-Man thing is temporary?

Global Avengers Initiative to assemble Earth’s Mightiest Heroes at Disney Parks Around the World
DECEMBER 10, 2018
Our friends at Disney Parks Blog just announced some news. Take a look at what’s coming to Disney parks all around the world:
By Scot Drake

There was an idea. To bring together a group of remarkable people, to see if they could become something more. It was called the Avengers Initiative.

That original idea has now evolved into a brand-new global Avengers Initiative. One that brings us—the next generation of remarkable people—together. To find our power and become something more. To see if we can work alongside the Avengers so we may all become stronger together.

The Stark Expo in Hong Kong was to be a first step: A world exposition whose theme of ‘A Better Tomorrow Today,’ was meant to inspire and motivate through technological innovation. However, shortly after it opened, the Expo was attacked by the forces of Hydra. When even more powerful forces threatened the entire planet, the Avengers realized that the Earth needs more heroes.

So today, to better defend the planet, the Avengers are setting up new Headquarters and technology sharing exchanges around the globe to empower and inspire all potential recruits willing to step up and become heroes.

In California and Paris, Tony Stark is retrofitting two of his father’s Stark Industries sites into new hubs for training and innovation. Through partnerships with S.H.I.E.L.D., Pym Technologies, Masters of the Mystic Arts, and the new Worldwide Engineering Brigade, The Avengers and their allies will forge new global campuses to champion the next generation of heroes. Who’s ready to answer the call?

As the creative executive for Walt Disney Imagineering’s Global Marvel Portfolio, my team and I are collaborating closely with our partners across Studios and Entertainment to create exciting experiences and attractions where you can join your favorite Super Heroes at Disney Parks and Resorts. Together, we are expanding this epic story universe in a way that, for the first time ever, will allow you to take on an active role alongside these Super Heroes.

These interconnected stories are coming to life at our Disney Parks. In Hong Kong Disneyland, guests have already started battling the forces of Hydra in the Iron Man Experience. Beginning in March 2019, they will join Ant-Man and Wasp in a fight against Arnim Zola and his army of evil Hydra Swarm-bots in the all-new interactive attraction, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle! In Disney California Adventure, guests have been helping the Guardians escape the Collector’s Fortress in Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: BREAKOUT!And soon, in both Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Paris, guests will encounter the heroes in new and exciting ways, from the mystic arts of Doctor Strange to the gravity defying feats of Spider-Man. Guests will also experience the latest in Pym Technology with Ant-Man and Wasp and be wowed as Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Captain America, and more leap into action on a moment’s notice.

Get ready to assemble alongside Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to protect the world! Recruitment begins soon!

MMRR (great movie ride) is being completely retrofitted In 24 months. It really shouldn’t be that difficult of a barrier for them to pop this out in the similar timeframe.

Even on their ‘big’ projects like Galaxies edge or Radiator Springs, the actual bulk of the retail and dining doesn’t actually commence until less than 24 months as well.

That is something some of us thought might be added at some point. I don't know if it'll be part of Phase One, but I think it'll be added eventually.

If you look at the Phase One concept art there this (highlighted in yellow). Now is this an indication of the flying AAs, some of us thought so, but who knows.

I agree, once all the demo part is completed the actual building of the attractions and such don't take very long. Its really all the aesthetics (land details) that the longest time.

I think the odds are greater it's a helium balloon. (Forgive me, I had a big bowl of Skeptic-O's for lunch!)

So some kid in the concept art lost their Spidey balloon? Now that would be very detailed for concept art! Lol

I wouldn't call that ""flying"".

Great, now I've got Playstation 2 Spiderman 2 flashbacks ("My ballooooon!") Hey, if that's supposed to be a flying AA, most of the guests in the painting sure don't seem to give a darn. In fact, that kid on the far left seems to be more amazed by the letter "A".

I’m not worried about the timeframe as much as the vague description. Although it is tight if we re talking Summer 2020.

Well just like in real life, all the guests are focused in on things that interest them which may all be different things....

I kind of like the vague description. Allows me to believe this might be something mind blowing instead of being disappointed by some PR spin of something crappy.

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

^^^ you mean like Pixar Pier?

You're right, it's actually falling with style

 

[JD2000]

It had me thinking practical sets with guests wearing AR headsets and web slinging bracelets.
