The heroes are rising.

While much of the attention coming out of the D23 Ultimate Fan Event focused on the announcement of the new lands coming to Disney World, including the Magic Kingdom’s long-anticipated Villain’s Land, there was another much more heroic expansion confirmed at the event that we’re equally as excited for!

Disney is FINALLY expanding Avengers Campus at Disney’s California Adventure, adding two attractions to the Marvel-based land.

The first, and most anticipated, is Avengers Infinity Defense. The latest iteration of the long-promised (and oft-delayed) Avengers-based E-Ticket attraction at the center of the land. According to Disney, this attraction will revolve around the premise that the “technology that allows the Avengers to jump between worlds has gone missing, and King Thanos is using it to wreak havoc everywhere. Recruits will travel to iconic locations like Asgard, Wakanda, and New York City alongside the likes of big, and small, heroes.”

The ride and its concept art promise a trip through the multiverse, including interactions with Ant-Man, the Hulk, and King Thanos to name a few. In addition to said art, Disney also had a model of the attraction’s ride vehicle on display, which resembles a ride vehicle similar to the SCOOP model used in numerous dark rides, as opposed to the more advanced vehicles seen in the original 2019 concept art.

In addition to the centerpiece Avengers attraction, the expansion will also feature a second new ride: Stark Flight Lab. This new robotic arm attraction will feature a two-person pod that whites in a simulated flight similar to Iron Man’s suit.

On top of all of that, the attraction will feature Robert Downey Jr. reprising his role as Tony Stark/Iron Man in both attractions.

Construction on the attractions is scheduled to begin in 2025. Don’t hold your breath for a clone at Walt Disney World though. Thanks to the deals that a pre-Disney-owned Marvel made with Universal in the 1990s, theme park rights to the vast majority of the company’s characters belong to Universal east of the Mississippi River in perpetuity.

Avengers Campus is going to double in size in the coming years, headlined by a massive Avengers E-Ticket attraction. Stay tuned to DFB for more on this expansion.
