Avengers Campus - Reactions / Reviews

They probably only realized they need them here BECAUSE they cut them from SWGE.

and for some reason Galaxy's Edge still does not have them and needs them.

If they can keep all this interactivity, the characters out in full, and maintain it - this land is simply awesome. This right here, with the crowds, and the excitement... I have chills.

As it seems that the new land is so character focused, I wonder if that approach proves successful if we might eventually see some of the cut elements come to Galaxy's Edge. Certainly adding music would take a small effort on their part.

Now Open! First Recruits Assemble at Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure Park​

by Gabriel Gibaldi, Public Relations Director

Avengers Assemble! Today, Avengers Campus officially opened for Disney California Adventure park guests at the Disneyland Resort. This entirely new land is dedicated to discovering, recruiting and training the next generation of Super Heroes.
We were stationed with the lucky, new recruits this morning to capture their enthusiasm as they explored Avengers Campus for the first time!

Those who looked skyward spotted Spider-Man swinging into action high above Avengers Campus with gravity-defying, acrobatic feats never seen before in a Disney park. Guests were thrilled to join Spider-Man slinging webs in the land’s new attraction, WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure.

And that’s just the beginning of the epic action. Guests trained with Black Panther and Wakanda’s elite guards, the Dora Milage.

In addition, curious recruits exploring Avengers Campus encountered Iron Man in his new armor, the Mark 80. Ant-Man and The Wasp appeared for the first time at the Disneyland Resort and Doctor Strange initiated those eager to learn the ways of the mystic arts at an Ancient Sanctum.
Black Widow, Black Panther, Thor, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America and Captain Marvel are among those also joining the action.

When hunger strikes, recruits sampled the innovative fare throughout the campus, including Pym Test Kitchen featuring Impossible, where Pym Particles produce tiny treats and big bites. Aspiring WEB members also shopped the inventive selection of merchandise, from the latest gadgets to accessories and fashions.

At Avengers Campus, you can now find your power alongside some of your favorite Super Heroes, with a chance to live out your own heroic story!

yes this land is very very much oriented to the live action side of things. Id say the rides take a backseat to all of the shows. this is a place to meet and see the avengers in action and I like it!

That's really the key to this land, is the interaction. It just makes a a HUGE difference and it makes the area feels more alive, which is the issue with GE as been said many times. But I love seeing all the characters and the little performances they put on. Now how long that last is another question since we know this stuff get phased out after awhile. Both BVS and CL started out with a lot of little character performances and interactions (like the citizens of BVS), something beyond just meet and greets and it all seems to be gone today.

But this being Marvel, maybe it will stick around for a few years.

I mean, they still had the Citizens of BVS before Covid happened, I imagine they will come back eventually (I hope)

Oh OK, that's great then. I can't remember the last time I saw them personally. Maybe 2018? They certainly don't have the presence as before but it's great they are still around.

But I really like the atmosphere in AC. It feels very lived in. And even though its small it looks SO spacious, at least on camera. The park needs a more sci fi theme in general IMO and this is probably the closest it will have to a TL!

That Iron Man costume looks soo bad. Like a bad party city costume. Seriously, cosplayers have waay better costumes than that.

Have to agree with that. But I'm shocked how amazing Sam's Captain America costume looks. Pretty cool. I don't have an issue with the SM costume either.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

But is Spiderman better than Hong Kong's Ant Man attraction is my burning question?

I've been on Ant Man, but have only looked at Webslinger footage online.

I'd say Webslingers is better, but that's not saying much.

The rest of the costumes look good especially Dr. Strange. I don't like the design of the spider logo on Spidey's suit for this land but the rest of his costume is good. That Iron Man costume just makes me cringe though.

But where is Hulk? If they can bring Groot to life they can have a guy in a Hulk suit walk around the land. Or does the lack of Hulk relate to Universal?

It shouldn’t have anything to do with Universal. I believe their rights only apply to Florida? I could be mistaken, though.

I would be ok with him walking around. Hulk does not get enough love in the MCU

i wonder if the iron man suit problem has anything to do with being able to stand around outside in the sun comfortably for extended periods of time?

I got a feeling that plastic looking Iron Man is not really comfy either.

 

[doctornick]

It is strange that they realize they need them here but cut them from SWGE.

It would be nice if people can go to GR and comment on that very fact (that the character shows in Avengers Campus are well regarded and needed). It might actually inspire Disney to revisit the idea for SWGE. I mean, the land is already set up to be able to accommodate entertainment if they will just pay for it.

 

[MarvelCharacterNerd]

Just over five hours in standby line and now close to the entrance.

Soon I hope!
