Avengers Campus - Reactions / Reviews

[Slpy3270]

99% chance it'll not make July because the park will be closed by then due to Covid-19. There's no way the disease will slow by the summer.

Polygon article confirms an animatronic spiderman for the preshow. Other interesting notes: scoring is for the car not for individual, you'll virtually travel all around avengers campus so the scenes aren't all supposed to be in the labs, moon girl and squirrel girl will be easter eggs

I can understand how you would feel that way but
this is very different than the shows that were planned for GE. Those were a few actors performing up on balconies and glorified scaffolding. They have obviously invested heavily in this technology and and are constructing major elements of Avengers Campus specifically for this show. They aren’t stupid and obviously they also know the track record of shuttering things like this after opening. I don’t think they would investing so heavily into this with development and construction if they didn’t intend for this to be a signature part of AE.
Major tech issues aside I’m hopeful this will be a constant in AE.

i envy your misplaced optimism

Isn't that just what it is? Disney used to lead the industry. Now they follow Legoland. At least Knott's Berry Tales ride will still have guns though.

I have often thought that if modern Disney built Disneyland today, it would be like Legoland. Loosely themed to various franchises, off the shelf ride systems, lots of experiences bleeding together, everything low capacity, appealing to very young children at the expense of everyone else.

Those pesky fans who want them to operate Disneyland like Disneyland and not like Legoland with Disney characters are undoubtedly the bane of Cheapek's existence.

Even if modern Disney was handed the exact blueprints of Disneyland and told to replicate it from scratch, they couldn't do it.

According to Bob Chapek at the Shareholders call, Avengers Campus will open on July 18 in Disney California Adventure.

Going at the end of May. I was really hoping for a soft opening. Oh well.

Fingers crossed (outside of Coronavirus) there are enough excited by this project and delay to go in July!

They are currently fully casting for the stunt show, so it's happening.

Also the food at Pym looks INSANE.

We all know nothing is going to move in this new land.
We know the spider droids will be $100 a pop and reservation required.
We know there will be no stunt show.
We know the stunt robot will be short lived.
We will be lucky if there are more than two walk around characters.

For the press event only...

Notice the conveyor belt of pretzels? Why can't they make that work in Toon Town?

 

[G.L.A.D.I.O]

So little recap from my sources. Through the campus but more particularly in the external queue we should find the S.P.D.R or spiderbots that are gradually invading the entire 2 Avengers campuses. By entering the building we discover what is the W.E.B and the project of its founders (who are the successor to Moon Knight (Lunella Lafayette) sided with the cute Devil Dinosaur shrunk with Pym particles, the successor of Iron Man Harley Keener the niece of King T'challa (A'di), and Peter Parker obviously), the Slinger. Everyone has made a contribution to the transport system, so they are each responsible for one of its functionalities. We then enter the preshow with a bit of a catastrophe, spidey explains the instructions. Robots multiply too fast, he needs our help. We pick up the glasses and board. Once embarked, c where the versions differ because after neutralizing the S.P.D.R in the premises of the W.E.B, it is necessary to save the rest of the campus so we re going to have the feeling of being outside. The robots are going through the pavilions ( Mission breakout underground in DCA) and since we won’t have the same ones in DCA and WDS, we won’t really have the same scenes. At the end of the ride, we manage to save the HQ of the Avengers. The order of opening of the rides defines the chronology of the events of the land. Robots will be kind of mechanical Gremlins. They multiply and ransack the campus.
At the W.E.B suppliers shop you can buy and manufacture your own interactive glove or your own robot which this time we hope will not multiply.

Looks like i was right

That’s ok, I loathe “witty” pessimism.

Hmm, the page for "WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure" has the tag spinning, all other rides with that actually spin (either around a main single hub swing style, or teacup style). Interesting...

Technically Midway Mania swings too. It's the same ride system with the addition of Legoland Ninjago/XBox Kinect motion sensor.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

The imagineers referred to what unfolds on the screens of the rides as “gameplay footage,” which suggest that, following in the footsteps of Smuggler’s Run, the Spider-Man ride will be one big video game.

The stunt show at Galaxy’s Edge held casting, rehearsals and technical rehearsals. Your point?

Pretzels and beer looks insane? What am I missing?

They invested and built all that and feed us the same marketing lines for GE and didn't deliver. Yes, they are that stupid to do it again. It's exactly the same marketing stick. If for some miracle they do this at AE, why can't they do it across the way at the same time?

The only difference is Chapek isn't in charge of it but no one knows who is.

That casting was always described as a temporary event.

Only casting and rehearsals were done after the land opened for that special event. Nothing was casted before the land was opened, as all that was cut earlier in the process. Avengers Campus will open with the stunt show.

Doesn't mean it won't be quickly cancelled.
