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

[MisterPenguin]

What is this supposed to be again? An Avenger story-coaster or a Quinn Jet backpack Flight of Passage shooter?

the rumors i heard (prob from this board) was that it was a quinjet ride to/over wakanda that turns into a jetppack style thing.

 

[DLR92]

It be hilarious we will get a knock off of Rockin’ Rollercoaster for Avengers Canpus.

 

[J4546]

it be cool if they went all out like the old hong kong concept art for their version of the ride. Make it look like this

It's pretty sad to regularly see people looking up at the Quinjet and then walking up to Avengers HQ's closed doors and asking the nearby CM's where the entrance is to the ride or what kind of ride it is and have the CM's have to answer: "Sorry, that building is for the Avengers and Mr. Stark's associates only" or some other in-story reference and see the tourists walk away confused.

Though even more frustrating for me is try to explain to people looking for Avengers Campus and Marvel merchandise that the best stuff is in a store at the back of the next land over... the one with the Spirit Halloween Super Store banner hanging over it. lol

This ride will be just next to the Carsland Phase 2 sit-down restaurant.

Yeah, I'm still bitter. I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[Phroobar]

I still want that Cars drive in restaurant. We should have gotten that from the beginning.

If you're in a car at a Cars drive in restaurant... does that mean the car is eating you?

Yes

Quinjet backpack is doa. Something else.

I would prefer that to be honest

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.

Well DCA could use it's own Space Mountain-type coaster.

That’s interesting. That’s why the coaster was originally axed.

 

[J4546]

Inheard capacity issues as well, hopefully they still build it in hk though if not in ca

This is the same rumor I've always heard but I don't quite understand it. What was so special about this coaster that resulted in it being low capacity. Disney has a decent track record of creating very high capacity coasters, so what was different here?

My only thoughts are just that something about the train/seating configuration would have made loading/dispatch very slow

Or something in the design made having a high number of block zones difficult

Just can't wrap my head around it because something like Cosmic Rewind is perfectly suited to high capacity (relative to other coasters)

The original coaster was said to be a cycle coaster similar to Tron but themed to the Avengers/Captain America. My guess is it was not the same layout though as capacity of the Tron coaster is around 1600 per hour.

That's what I remember hearing too, but increasing capacity on a coaster isn't ~that~ hard. Alter the layout to add more block zones so you can run more trains. Use a dual load like tron or cosmic rewind. Changing concepts entirely seems much more difficult

1600 is low! And Tron is rarely able to get close to that.
