New Passageway Between Cars Land and Avengers Campus Opens, Compromising Sightlines and Immersion

Guests can once again travel directly between Cars Land and Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure.

Cars Land and Avengers Campus Connector

New Passageway Between Cars Land and Avengers Campus Opens at Disney California Adventure

The new passageway connecting the two lands opened on Saturday, August 29. The route had been closed since April 2025 to accommodate construction related to the Avengers Campus expansion and a new restroom facility.

The connector includes the newly opened Take-A-Brake restroom building, designed as an old Route 66 mechanic shop that was later converted into a roadside rest stop.

Its Cars Land-facing exterior features weathered architecture, vintage signage, and references to the shuttered Pop n Patch tire repair shop from Cars.

Near the restrooms, there is a new animal relief spot, somewhat camouflaged by landscaping. 

The opposite side transitions into Avengers Campus with the appearance of an aged Howard Stark-era bunker and Strategic Scientific Reserve graphics.

While the restroom itself is very charming, the approach into Avengers Campus is exponentially worse.

The permanent white canopy currently under construction for Stark Flight Lab is visible from the walkway and from Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters, disrupting the visual immersion while in Cars Land. Quinjet, the full-scale model of the advanced Avengers aircraft, can also be seen from the Cars Land intersection now.

As we reported on August 27, the blue construction walls in Avengers Campus have been pushed back to make way for the passageway to Cars Land at Disney California Adventure. The passageway to Cars Land can be seen in the upper right. The marks on the concrete that show where the walls used to be were still visible on our visit today in the photo above.

According to the designer, @x.treto research trips along Route 66 informed the building’s architecture, environmental details, and graphics. Walt Disney Imagineering recently offered a closer look at the completed passage and its two distinct themes, while construction walls began moving back earlier this week in preparation for the opening.

What do you think of the updated look of the reopened connector? Let us know on social media.
