The Avengers’ house in upstate New York got obliterated at the end of Avengers: Endgame in a giant explosion that somehow didn’t hurt a single person inside, but now it’s apparently being rebuilt in California—at Disneyland, to be exact. As reported by Entertainment Weekly, Disney announced today during yet another panel at the D23 expo that it’s putting together a dedicated theme park zone at Disneyland’s California Adventure called Avengers Campus, with another Avengers-themed attracted set to pop up at Disneyland Paris that will feature some kind of “interconnected story involving recruitment of new Avengers.” Do you think those new Avengers will be whichever random tourists happen to be at Avengers Campus on any given day? Because that seems very likely! (More likely than getting Spider-Man back in the movies, at least.)
But hey, speaking of New York’s favorite web-slinger, nobody’s going to stop Disney from putting Spidey in a theme park, as the Avengers Campus will also feature Disney’s first Spider-Man-themed ride. Built around a meet-up at an organization for young inventors, the ride will involve Spider-Man enlisting whoever happens to have waited in the appropriate for a few hours to put on a Spider-Man-themed jetpack and shoot webs at rogue spider robots. There will also be a Doctor Strange-based “California Sanctum” (even though that’s not a real thing from the comics), a Black Panther ride on an Avengers Quinjet, and an Ant-Man-themed restaurant featuring “oversized and shrunken foods” that legitimately sounds like a blast.
Over in Paris, Disney’s New York-themed hotel is getting a Marvel repaint and Epoct in Florida is getting turned into a Guardians Of The Galaxy ride that blends the old “educational” Epcot bullshit with cosmic Marvel nonsense—making it more “educational” than ever before!

Why not call it Avengers Academy?
You wanna check out AA?
Why don’t you shut your whore mouth and accept what The Mouse gives you!!!!
“Avengers Campus” does sound…pretty dumb. “Avengers Academy” rolls off the tongue.
Or The Avenger Center For Heros Who Can’t Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too
Or Hogavengerswarts?
Nope that’s one of the only things they don’t own. It’ll have to be Avataravengerstarwars instead.
The joke there was the name of the school, but okay.
I guess Disney would be little hesitant to make a ride based on the the All-New Ghost Rider, who is based in LA.Though I don’t really see why they don’t introduce the West Coast Avengers?
First of all, Epoct typo in that last paragraph when it’s spelled properly later on? Editors?
Secondly, Guardians of the Galaxy will be a newly-built pavilion within Epcot, which is its own theme park and is in the process of being redone. They aren’t “turning” Epcot into a giant Guardians exhibit.Thirdly, zero timeframe and vague detail was given regarding the Black Panther attraction, and methinks it’ll fade away once the impending recession takes hold.
If tourism takes a hit and the Galaxy’s Edge bump never materializes, I suspect a lot of their plans will quietly be scaled back.
Epoct in Florida? What is this Epoct you speak of?
They meant “epoch”. It’s basically an expansion of the dinosaur dioramas from the Disneyland train.
Which is the best ride at Disneyland now that the People Movers are gone.
It is an Experimental Prototype
………….OF COCK!
Tomorrow
I missed these
Experimental Prototype Of Cheese, Thank you.
What no Darkhawk themed ride?When is Darkhawk going to get the love he deserves along with Evilhawk his archnemesis?
Ok. Great. Whatever.Why isn’t John Goodman a recurring character in the MCU?
Too busy fucking strangers in the ass.
I don’t know why but I love this take so much. Take your star.
John Goodman would make a quite excellent Galactus.
Snorting planets…
Why isn’t John Goodman a recurring character in the MCU?He should be, but who would they get to play the character of John Goodman?
His Mexican non-union equivalent Juan Buenoman.
Look upon me! I’ll show you the world of the mind [stone]!
but now it’s apparently being rebuilt in CaliforniaNot really, but I’m surprised they didn’t buy the rights to rebuild the Sainsbury Center from Foster & Partners and the University of East Anglia!The University could use the money, and Norman could buy a new chopper!
Sign me up! My superpower is that I can fit a whole hamburger in my belly button.I mostly use my power to smuggle food in to movies.
They ripped out the whole Bug’s Life kids’ area in DCA to put this in, and it’s directly adjacent to the Guardians of the Galaxy ride, too. There have been big walls with STARK INDUSTRIES all over them surrounding the area for months. It looks like some corporate takeover or something. Pretty cool.
Yes, like some kind of corporate takeover…
Aww . . . I’m sure it’ll be cool, but we loved one of the Bugs Life rides last summer (a flying one, I think you’re in fast food containers). Just right for my seven-year-old who was a bit old for tea cups, but a bit young for the killer stuff.
I liked that area just because it was cool and shady and a nice little throughpoint between sections of the park.
That ride has been repurposed as the Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind at Pixar Pier, so your child can still get the experience!
The Cars area will be the next to go.
Nah, that’s fairly new, and it cost them a fortune. For now, anyway. Ten years down the line, maybe, but certainly not anytime soon.
I suppose, and I get that they were going for the whole Route 66 tie in to California. But really, Cars?
You just answered your own question. What else were they going to do, Herbie Land?If the MCU was as big in 2012 as it is now, maybe it would be Avengers Land back there. But really, it’s appropriate for the park and the brand. It’s well done, the kids like it, and Radiator Springs is a pretty cool ride. Those other two carnival rides they’ve got in there can go in my opinion, but whatever. One of them has already been replaced once.
It’s going to be funny watching future episodes of Defunctland, or the countless other history of theme park channels, retelling how Avengers and Star Wars Land is no more.Time is a flat circle. These things will become irrelevant again in time.
The saddest thing about the short human lifespan is that I’d really like to see what becomes of human civilization 10,000 years from now.
The Marvel Island at Universal is still their and it was built long before Marvel was a powerhouse
i think if anything it’ll be a video about the old parks getting replaced by more marvel and star wars shit.
Wait, all of EPCOT is going to be Marvel-themed now?
Just Universe of Energy, the “animatronic dinosaurs and Ellen teach us fossil fuels are our friends” ride.
…I will accept this begrudgingly if it ties into the Savage Land.
Aw, man, did they take the tower of terror and turn it into some Guardians bullshit?
I think that already happened in California but there aren’t (or weren’t) plans to do so to the towers anywhere else.
At Disney Land, yes. At Disney World, no.
It’s from the ‘A Wirl of Girls’ in the ‘Gold Digger’ music video which uses the machine gun massacre sound from ‘Some Like It Hot’ (1959) this is ‘The Wolf’ from ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ (2012) which is just another banal stupid murder promise except for the fact that they used Marilyn Monroe’s eyes from this photograph as the eye of the unspeakable evil beyond the portal to another dimension in ‘Hellboy’ (2004) the fuckers might as well have handed out a list of actresses who’s eyes match hers and said go ahead and murderer them
The California Sanctum rents for $17,000 a month and has a yoga studio.
(Should one of us tell Disney that there’s a sex club in LA called Sanctum already?)
No, but now I want to go there dressed as Doctor Strange, walk in, and yell ‘WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?’
an Ant-Man-themed restaurant featuring “oversized and shrunken foods”
A Quantum Pounder with cheese?
So it looks like Disneyland to remodeling the Tower of Terror again.
