Avengers Campus - Reactions / Reviews

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Do you ever see these funny book characters eat? I remember there were some brief diner scenes in the Spider-Man movies but I don't think that means there should be a P.A.R.K.E.R. Restaurant. I get that it's a theme park but I'm not sure they're going about Marvel even remotely the right way.

I was just saying you might like Super Hero Island. That’s all.

I have liked it for many years. Seen many videos about the land and rides. Lots of people like it. Millions in fact. So do people who like to give industry awards for theme park rides.

"OKAY" that's the best counter arugment you got? A 2 year old flips me better stuff than that. You have no argument because I just shut you down.

Lol no, I just don’t care to continue discussing it with you.

Yesterday you complained that Pym Test Kitchen doesn’t make thematic sense (and you never responded to my counter argument ironically) and today you are praising a land that actively goes against making sense. So I see no reason for me to waste more time on this attempt at a conversation.

It still does not make thematic sense

These images of just unrecognizable mess:

Are not nearly as creative, charming, simple and easy to understand & identify in a moment's glimpse as these images:

Marvel land looks fun for the whole family because it is clearly identifiable as a super hero land in a theme park. which it is. AVENGERS C.A.M.P.U.S. is a mess and not easy to identify what the hell it is or what it relates to and looks like something found in Silicon Valley. It no way indicates it is a super fun for the whole family super hero theme park land just by looking at it. and that was before they came up with the asanine back story written up by some dumb intern.

I know when I go to Marvel Land, I really expect giant Coke cans and goo splatters on the pavement.

I just think about the dude who had to go through with a coring machine and core out all the variable sized circles in the area. I wonder if it was one guy who went through with all the 6 inch, then all the 4 inch, then all the 2 inch, etc. etc. or if they had several guys on different sizes all doing it at the same time over a few nights.

Yeah, I think you’d be disappointed if you actually visited Super Hero Island in person.

I get what you’re saying. We can all see the difference between the two approaches. To me, the IOA land feels very cheesy and dated. The CAMPUS looks like a Marvel take on a real-world place (with fantastical elements).

The problem with the IOA’s is that while it looks like “fun for the whole family,” it really isn’t. Spider-Man is great. Hulk and Doom’s Fearfall are not really kid-friendly, and the Storm teacups is like, well, the Teacups only without the whimsy. The land feels comic booky, but the theming is thin.

Again, Avenger’s CAMPUS is based on the MCU, so it’s basically a superhero office park in California. I get that not everyone is excited about this, but from the looks of it, I think I will prefer hanging out at the PYM bar to sitting in “Cafe 4.”

Welcome, recruits.

Grab a Coke and unleash your Inner Hero. But beware of the villainous Di Abetes!

I like what avengers campus is so far BUT......

how cool would it have been if they had instead of a GotG retheme to ToT, they went with Dr Strange or Spiderman and made the ToT look like a giant city building. Then build a cityscape land thats marvel themed, as all marvel movies take place in a city. Maybe Dr Strange inner sanctum tower, keep Spiderman, No Pyms but instead another dark ride and put a food option where dr strang is now. I think that would have been a cool theme to the land overall, and the transition from hollywood land to avengers city would have been easier as well.

There are about 10 superhero lands at parks in the US containing unthemed coasters with characters’ names slapped on. If that’s your thing, great, but Disneyland is not an amusement park and won’t be becoming one.

Nothing against your idea but the biggest super hero movie of all time hardly takes place in a city.

And babies on sticks!

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Hoping the Iron Man remake of RnRC in Paris delivers the goods.

It certainly can't be worse than Incredicoaster.

Very true! Yeah this is literally what Disney shouldn’t be.

Def would have rather went for Dr Strange. I hate the thing Disney has been doing where they overlay a ride to coincide with the release of a new movie (sequels at that) which has given us the most uninspired additions to DCA. Dr Strange should've went to TOT and Monsters Inc should've went to CS.

Kirby's 2 page splash in the comics were incredible.

I saw a video about this on Youtube today and it was suggested in the video that the 'oozing energy' has LED lights inside and could light up the area at night. If so that can look really cool! Has anyone heard this?

That you use “office park” to describe a theme park and super hero experience should be a huge red flag.

But that is very much the design ethos of this land. It’s more realized in its materiality and show sets, but it’s the same general idea. It’s a non-place that is distinguished because it has superhero and superhero related logos placed on the buildings. The didn’t create a Spider-Man ride, they took an existing popular ride and swapped in Spider-Man.
