New attractions, changes will double size of DCA's Avengers Campus
Have you ever wondered what's behind that big wall at Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure Park?
A new attraction, Avengers Infinity Defense, is Tony Stark-developed technology that allows guests to travel from world to world.
During the ride, we find out portal technology has gone missing and Thanos is using it. The Avengers assemble to take on the ultimate villain, and riders defend iconic locations like Asgard, Wakanda and New York City.
Visitors will see construction starting next year.
And that's not all. They're adding a fourth attraction to Avengers Campus in which you're invited into Stark's workshop.
The ride is called Stark Flight Lab. Actor Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his role as Tony Stark in the rides.
A photo of Disney CEO Bob Iger and Downey Jr. were shown during the showcase.
These changes will double the size of Avengers Campus.
