If anything, I'd think they'd keep the location as a tribute to him.

Urban Dictionary: Stan
A reference to the Eminem song Stan. The song is about an overly obsessed fan (named Stan) who writes letters to eminem and ends up driving off a bridge with his pregnant wife, because Eminem didn't write him back. The terms means a very very overzealous and obsessed fan of a celebrity/band/cast...

Not meant as an attack, but I hate seeing people ask this question right now.
The man just died, can we discuss a corporate movie franchise later?

It seems to be the exception to the rule. GOTG on both coasts, Spider-man and the Ant-man ride in Hong Kong all use or will use MCU actors.

Probably true. I loved and still miss Circuit City. And I literally have a Spider-Man tattoo. So I can’t wait to join Spidey as he selects his first Smart TV and, as usual at Disney, “something goes wrong” and the price was *GASP* an error in that week’s circular.

I'm not sure about the status of puppeteers. The puppeteers at the old Disney Junior voted to organize and affiliate with AGVA (DL actor/singer/dancers are organized under AGVA, WDW organized under Equity). Then Disney laid them all off and retooled Disney Junior with no puppets. There are some odd boundaries between non-union characters, AGVA performers, and IATSE stage techs. For instance, I have a friend who works as a character with the McQueen and Mater cars. When he's inside the car, he touches options on his flat screen which are then relayed to the IATSE tech nearby in line of sight who presses the actual button on his pad. It used to be the driver inside doing that, but IATSE filed a grievance.
Short answer--if there's an operator for the Spidey robot, it would be a union stage tech. If there is also a live Spidey performer, the question of whether he is union or not depends on what his performance consists of. For instance, in Guardians Awesome Dance-off, Star Lord is Union, Gamora is not.

I don't get why people are suggesting the spider bot animatronic would be a part of the puppeteers union. It's a figure on the outside of a building that moves around a little. Dok Ondar isn't controlled by a puppeteer, we have no reason to believe this spider bot would be
Pretty sure they are referencing the stuntronic, not a fixed place figure such as a standard animatronic.

Hows construction going on the Avengers Campus? Are they going to have it finished soon?

Unless someone does some fly-over photography or Disney officially releases new photos, we just have to assume it's continuing at a reasonable pace. I'd have to say Phase One completion sometime in Spring/Summer 2021 depending on when the parks are allowed to re-open.

Perhaps the biggest question mark for Avengers Campus is when the heck Disney's supposed to open the dang thing. With a 25% capacity cap, it makes zero sense to open a new land, increasing operating costs without being able to capitalize on the publicity and attendance bump.
In addition, Marvel is a character driven franchise. The "West Coast Avengers Campus" idea was developed solely to allow WDI to easily add and remove characters to continually adapt the land to whatever the modern iteration of Marvel is. The land will rely on Meet and Greets as a huge selling point... but it can't do that if social distancing guidelines prohibit those.
At this rate it's gonna be 2022 before Disneyland is back to normal. If not longer. I can't imagine being a part of the team that's supposed to figure out what to do with this land.

I don't think the land will open until we are able to gather without social distancing or gathering limitations. I'm guessing fall 2021 at the earliest.
Plus it makes sense to wait until the world is back to normalish, as soon as its safe Disneyland can market it as "hey were back and its safe and guess what we have this whole new Avengers land with a new ride and new shows and it's really cool"

I don’t think I’ve ever been less excited for a new land. I think I was more intrigued by Pixar Pier. With that said I’m hoping the Spidey ride pleasantly surprises us.

im pretty excited for the new land, but mostly for the phase 2 major attraction but too bad that wont be around for at least 5 years. Even as is, getting a new spiderman ride with augmented reality and life like animatronic robot spiderman flying around the building, dr strange walk through thing, pyms eatery and micro brewery, a couple other food carts, a store, character meet n greets, and im sure a few other suprises. Now with the closure of Frozen musical and knowing that the hollywood backlot is pretty much garbage, I could see them expanding the marvel universe north in time.

There hasn't been any clear message about the E-ticket right? They said Avengers Campus was a priority project, but they didn't mention stage 2. I mean, given the focus on Wakanda in the description, I would think the ride would most likely be changed. Are we confident the Avengers E-Ticket will still happen?
