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

[Disney Irish]

I wonder if the Stark Flight Lab is based on the ride system rumored for the Incredibles from years ago. I remember it mentioning a robot arm to pick up the ride vehicle.

I don't know about the Incredibles, but I'm guessing that some variation with the Kuka arm would have been used for the Avengers Quinjet over Wakanda attraction that was originally planned.

The Incredibles ride rumor was from a long time ago. I think it might have been 10 years since I heard about it, but it used a kuka arm to move the ride vehicle in some fashion.

Ok, I don't remember specifically that rumor. But as I mentioned I think the Quinjet ride would have used a Kuka arm system for the flying over Wakanda aspect. And I'm guessing that the Stark ride is just a continued use of that since it was already looked for Avengers Campus.

Disagree. It’s a B ticket flat ride. Avengers campus doesn’t have a ton of redeeming qualities, but it’s like the only land with an actual rounded attraction menu built this Millenium. Which I’ll applause.

That is why I’m giving the Stark ride a pass. If they can keep the Dr. Strange space, you’ve got it as an A ticket, the Stark ride as a B ticket flat ride, Spider-Man as a C ticket dark ride-ish experience, Guardians as a D ticket thrill ride, and hopefully Avengers as the signature E (and those last two could flip, depending on execution). With a quick service and a couple of stands, two retail locations and all the character interaction, this has to be one of the most well rounded lands delivered in a long time. It’s a shame it took so long to complete, but still, it would be a full slate. Arguably that is what Galaxy’s Edge is missing - the characters and the A, B, and C tickets.

I'd argue, even if many still have resentment for the conversion, Guardian's will be always be an E-Ticket.

I see this land as two E-Tickets, a C-Ticket, and a B-Ticket.

It's not a Disney Quality E ticket for me, but it's pretty close. I hope the new attraction gives us our second Disney level E ticket for DCA.

When everything is complete I’d say well rounded attraction roster** As in it checks boxes. Even if one is a retheme and Spideman is underwhelming. I’d rather have TOT and two new great Marvel attractions.

The land as themed space will still be meh but if the concept art is accurate it looks like the E ticket entrance and flight lab area should help a bit.

The Kinetics should be fantastic at least, probably fun to just hang out and watch the ride go.

Yeah and it’s about a good a flat ride / B ticket I can conceive for AC. Much better than a spinner or something like that.

 

[mickEblu]

Somewhere in my alternate Universe DCA kept TOT, put an Avengers Coaster in the expansion area and gave us that swinging pendulum ride for Spiderman. Or just anything that does Spider man justice.

 

[Phroobar]

Is that not exactly the same thing with a screen added to the mix?

You get to control the arm.

Especially if you considere the Guardians spinner their designing for the Disney Advenure, I'm glad they didn't consider cloning it for DCA

Oh I didn’t hear about that. And wow I’m reminded of what an awful name for a theme park that is.

I think they’re talking about the Disney Adventure cruise ship lmao

 

[mickEblu]

Somehow even with the all the comparisons to the Peter Pan ride at Disney Sea and transformers I didn’t realize or lost sight of the fact that the Avengers ride will be 3D.

 

[Gusey]

Yeah, I meant the Disney Adventure cruise ship as seen above (They have way too many things with the word Adventure in the last few years)

Ah thanks.

Or They did it for reasons we have no idea about?

Or they did it for exactly why they said they did it, which is they thought about how the robot arms in Iron Man have a personality and behave like people do, they thought about how a group of those arms together are basically performing a kind of dance, and they thought they could combine the two together where it’s a choreographed dance but you can still see the personalities of each individual dancer. And then they thought well why don’t we get some video and data of humans dancing to reference as we create the animation.

In my mind it’s no different from an animation studio filming real people and animals for reference, which Disney does (or at least used to do) all the time.

How much of that is actually able to be picked up on in the final product is yet to be seen of course. But I think the idea is cool.

Yeah I’ll admit. When I posted that I hadn’t seen the whole episode of we call it imagineering yet. And by the time I actually watched it I had forgot about my post.
