Disneyland Avengers Campus Construction Goes Vertical

Construction for the two new rides coming to Avengers Campus kicked off in early 2025, and now, Walt Disney Imagineering has just shared that the expansion went vertical this morning with the first steel column lifted into place!

An Instagram post from Walt Disney Imagineering shared: “Equipping more guests to become Super Heroes requires equipment! The expansion of Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure Park went vertical this morning with the first steel column lifted into place. New, thrilling attractions will join the campus, doubling its size in the future.”

There is still a long way to go until this project is completed (as we discuss in our article on when Disneyland's new rides will likely open), but this is a big milestone. The new additions will go in what is currently a backstage area that also winds around behind Cars Land.

The construction will introduce a major new “E-ticket” Avengers ride and a unique new ride inspired by Tony Stark. “Avengers Infinity Defense” will take guests on a “multi-world adventure” where guests will join the Avengers as they battle “King Thanos,” who has stolen the technology that the Avengers use to jump between worlds. In the second new ride, called “Stark Flight Lab,” guests will sit in “gyro-kinetic pods” and deploy to a test station, where a giant robot arm will swing them around in simulated flight with maneuvers inspired by the Avengers.
