Avengers Roller Coaster

From the Disney Parks Blog

Popular stories and characters from the Marvel universe are already being incorporated into Disneyland Paris in the form of this summer’s Marvel Summer of Super Heroes celebration, plus plans for Disney’s Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel.

Now, it appears more super hero fun is on the way. It was just announced at D23 Expo Japan that the Marvel Super Hero universe will also come to Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris, where Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith will be totally reimagined as a high-speed, hyper-kinetic adventure, in which guests will team up with Iron Man and their favorite Avengers.

Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for more information on this attraction’s transformation.

I'm looking forward to this, I hope they can get it done by next summer and it doesn't take years like most Disney projects.

I've heard it's for summer '19 - considering that apparently they re-fitted a lot in POTC for that 8 months or so then I think can re-imagine something very well in a short time - I guess it's the infrastructure of new things from scratch that take time?

Imagine if they actually built something new instead of Burbank leaching across the Atlantic.

Surely a brand new Marvel attraction will form part of their Marvel Land? I would guess it would go on the site of LMA?

For as much flack of DLP and WDSP gets they have built a fair few rides and attractions in WDSP since it opened, the problem is it opened with so little it still feels light on attractions.

I'm ok with this redo. RnR, including the Paris version, feels very '90s. And not terribly impressive, so bring it on.

Disneyland Parc had a surprisingly good opening day line up. WDSP was an Eisner led mistake from the start. Up to now WDSP is getting an overlay. And an overlay. And maybe a tweak. Of all the parks in the world it needs expansion, not overlaying, the most.

There’s nothing wrong with RNrC in Paris. It works. Changing the theme should be at the bottom of the to-do list. Once again they’re fixing what isn’t broken and not fixing the problem.

But how can you possibly know that a cheap and fast overlay no one asked for on an already popular ride isn’t going to fix things?

Oh...

WDSP is lacking in everything. Except ride line-up. (Well it is lacking, but not by the standards of post 1994 Disney parks it isn't, but that's for another day)

Cinémagique and RnRC are not this park's problems. Beautification and placemaking and purpose feel more important. Although I guess the reasoning is they are achieving exactly that by adding a Marvel area.

Looking at the concept art, it looks like Armageddon is being rethemed too.

I've been in WDS but never either of these yet, but yes people are saying it looks like Armageddon's interior?

 

[Phroobar]

It's the perfect time to pack up Armageddon and move it to Disneyland for Space Mountain's pre-show in the old Starcade. Imagine the space station is being hit by asteroids. You need to get in your rocket and defend the station.

Welllllll......

Were you being coy or surprised like the rest of us? If it's the later can you at least clear up if they are getting a full SW:GE or not?

Surprised. It was coming but I didn’t expect it yet.

I think even Disney pr was surprised. Why announce an Avengers overlay one week, and announce the next that the entire area is getting a Marvel overlay?

Because Iger wanted to announce it to Macron?
