Though Disney confirmed some details earlier this week about Avengers Campus (formerly just known as Marvel Land), during last week’s D23 Expo, in the midst of confirming new attractions, refurbishments, lands, and more for Epcot, they also gave us some more information about what to expect from this new area at Disney California Adventure, even confirming a phase two before phase one even opens!

Though technically the first attraction to be featured in this land is Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout, when this land opens next year it will open with another new attraction based on Spider-Man. Though Disney didn’t give a name, we now know that guests will be able to visit the Worldwide Engineering Brigade, also known as “WEB” which will give guests the opportunity to experience what it’s like to have web-slinging superpowers like Spider-Man as they take on a mission to take out Spider-Bots that have run amok during a test drive of the “Web Slinger” vehicle, which gives guests the ability to sling webs just like Spider-Man.
This attraction certainly looks like fun, and even though Disney and Sony are not continuing to produce Spider-Man/Avengers films together, at least this iconic hero will still be represented at this upcoming new land.

Though the Spider-Man attraction sounds interesting, it looks like we’re going to have to wait awhile for this new land’s signature attraction, which will be an as-yet untitled new E-Ticket attraction that will be a part of a now-confirmed Phase 2 of this land. This new attraction will see guests flying alongside heroes like the Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Hulk and more as they battle against Marvel villains in the iconic Quinjet. Though Disney said that this attraction will be open with the next phase of the Avengers Campus, they didn’t provide any kind of timetable about when this unnamed attraction might be open.

Though this new “E-Ticket”-style attraction sounds truly amazing, Disney also laid out some of the awesome other experiences that will open with the initial phase of this new land, including the following:
- Pym Test Kitchen: A new restaurant based around the world of Ant-Man and The Wasp where “Pym Particles” are used to grow and shrink just about anything, Pym Technologies is using the latest innovations to grow and shrink food at this eatery!
- Character meet and greets: Because this new land exists outside the MCU timeline, guests can find iconic heroes both old and new, including Black Widow, Ant-Man and The Wasp, Doctor Strange, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther, Thor, and Iron Man.
Though we are excited to suit up and check out the Avengers Campus, Disney does not yet have an opening target yet other than “TBA 2020”. Based on current rumors we’d guess that this new area will be open at Disney California Adventure by the end of the summer or early fall next year, but hopefully we’ll get confirmation of this (as well as when Phase 2 will open) in the coming months!
