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

[MarvelCharacterNerd]

The Monorail would like a word with you.

Why? Has it traveled the Multiverse recently? Or is it getting a new paint job in Loki Glorious Green? (More importantly, will it get air conditioning? That thing is an oven if it's 70 degrees or higher outside.)

Even if Disney chooses to scale back on other projects because of an upcoming recession, at the very least they must provide Avengers Campus with an E-Ticket. Whether that's a dark ride or a coaster, it would be a very unfortunate thing for them to abandon the E-Ticket idea.

I think if and when the Avengers E ticket does come it will be a coaster for a couple reasons. One being the Fast and Furious roller coaster that is apparently being built at USH and will open in 2024. I think they see Universal knocking it out of the park with all their recent coasters at USO (and the ones they re building at Epic Universe) so I would hope that will influence their decision to walk away from the Soarin 2.0 ride.

Also I believe that Disney knows that if Galaxies Edge had included one well themed coaster the reception would have not been so lackluster.

Why was Runaway Railway prioritized over this? They shouldn’t leave this land without its main attraction.

If memory serves, construction had begun on Runaway Railway before the pandemic, while work on the Avengers Ride had not.

I believe the thinking was that Mission Breakout would anchor the land initially.

But at this point, the theme of the MCU seems to be the Multiverse. So any E-Ticket really should be a trip through the Multiverse - maybe helping Loki restore the timeline or having The Watcher send you off on a mission. It would be all thrills and screenz so I couldn't go on it, but it would be nice to have a counterpoint to Star Tours at DL where you can go to different locations in the MCU/Multiverse (though that could also be done with Doctor Strange/America Chavez portals). I guess Mission: BREAKOUT has multiple choice experiences though and probably counts, too.

Wonder what ride system this will be. I could see this new concept as a trackless dark ride. Disney had a patent for a ride vehicle that can show damage in real time. There was also another patent that can allowed for ride sets and effects to be reset. Maybe these patents will be used for this new Avengers ride to help keep it fresh as the MCU evolves.

I heard the Quinjet ride was axed not just because of COVID, but because of logistic and capacity issues. So some form of coaster will more capacity will have to do.

Almost seemed like the Quinjet had similar design as the Avatar ride. Doesn't that ride have like 1400 per hour capacity?

I wonder why they felt that was ok there but not here

 

[D.Silentu]

Initially many here, myself included, thought that the previous deign for the Avengers ride was like Flight Of Passage. However, before it was scrapped Imagineers claimed that the ride system was supposedly brand new.

Some people have a talent for speaking in a way that engages their audience and gets them excited about what they're hearing.

Bob Chapek is not one of those people.

It was also confirmed in 2017. Anything can happen.

To be fair, even when they announced it in 2017 they said it was part of phase 2. So this is just then finally starting on phase 2

 

[dennis-in-ct]

maybe it will be a ride similar to Epcot's guardians of the galaxy ride unless that is what the new space mountain will be

I didnt know this. Thanks for the info.

New concept for the ride - the villain will be King Thanos. Here's the new concept art -

 

[Phroobar]

Isn't that basically the Simpson's Ride?
It looks like a pod in front of a screen.

When did they say they will start construction, and/or what year did they say it will open?

Or is it just one of those "coming to DCA!" at an undetermined future date? 2026? 2028? 2031?

Maybe they will start next year and have it open in 2025 for DLR's 70th anniversary. But that seems like wishful thinking.
