Yep it's TDS Peter Pan ride system.
While I don't care for that type of ride system (or screen-based attractions), it does make the most sense for an Avengers attraction. They can fill the screens with as much action and storytelling as they want on a smaller footprint. Maybe they can make it a bit more thrilling than Peter Pan and closer to the excitement of Transformers or Universal's Spider-Man.

I don't think they could have fit an Avengers ride story-wise on a coaster.

So.. the Spider-Man & Transformers rides at Universal with Avengers slapped onto it?? Not impressed with what I’m seeing here… hopefully it’ll have AAs or something to differentiate itself enough from the competition. Otherwise, nothing to really drive me to go out of my way to return to DCA & experience it. Atm, Universal is much closer to me and I’m already a passholder there.. didn’t renew my DL pass a few years back due to the (IMO) loss of quality & value and unneccesary up charges to compensate for it so.. yeah.

Really needs AAs to be good. Otherwise, it's just more screens with a side of meh.

Here's a behind the scenes making of the Avengers E ticket:


This. Is. So. COOL!

Nah. It’s more like FoP using the Spider-man/Transformers ride system. I recommend anyone who feels negative about this system to read the review below from Tom Bricker. The only really negative thing I found while riding was that I could see the edge of the screen by looking up, even considering how massive it/they are (wraps around the entire room)

This review also says he found Spider-Man to be a 10/10 and Transformers a 9.5/10. I would gauge them at a 6 and a 7 because I just prefer practical effects and elements. If you like screen rides, you'll like this one too. If you don't like screen rides, then I think you will similarly about this one as well. For me, I don't like screen rides.

I definitely like your explanation better. I saw the ride through and it seems fine for the Neverland setting and Peter Pan IP. For Avengers though I just get the sense that it’s not big or bold enough. Of course, it’s possible they can amp everything up a few notches but I’m just not sure it’s the right choice. Peter Pan is a D ticket though right? So they’ll have to beef it up if it’s going to be an E ticket.

I usually skip Transformers at USH. The whole thing just kind of feels disorienting. If that explanation of it being more like FOP with the Scoop system then that sounds much better even if not what I was hoping for.

I’m disappointed they canceled the original ambitious jetpack seat version they promised us back in 2019

Still screen-heavy, but at least it had a new ride system! This Scoop thing could be great if it includes animatronics, but if not, it's just more of the same.
I've been dying for a jetpack ride vehicle. I long wanted it for a realistic Buzz attraction, but the idea of feeling like you are in a solidified "ride vehicle" to then drop into escape packs sounds awesome.

I always assume it was essentially a soaring model but instead of loading in and rising up to the screen, we would enter at the top of the show building and then the seats would descend into the screen. But the positive would be that the screen wrapped fully around beneath us, allowing us to pivot ride vehicles to see different views of the experience.

It might have fallen flat, as I do not love screens, but the initial moment of the attraction sounds amazing.

True! And yeah this still could be decent but I worry that Disney will end up putting like 1 animatronic and like 2 sparsely themed physical sets in it. It needs a lot more than that to be good. I hope I’m wrong and that they blow us away, but after web slingers and others I have lost a fair amount of faith in their creative ability (and how much money the higher ups will be willing to put into this ride)

Exactly I wish wish we got that version instead. It looked a thousand times better

Also there was a version that involved a two seat hang glider in an attempt to fix the capacity concerns they had

I think the scoop ride is the best option for a big Avengers attraction and it doesn't matter if Universal used that technology before. When a park builds a new rollercoaster nobody complains that there are already rollercoasters in other parks and the same happens with new dark rides, water rides, flat rides, parades, drone shows, etc.

The scoop ride has proven to be a success that lasts in time, and the new Peter Pan version in Tokyo looks amazing, so I'm happy that this kind of attraction is becoming more common.
