Have you ever wondered what's behind that big wall at Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure Park?

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.
