You Can Sling Webs And Meet Superheroes At Disney's New Marvel-Themed Land

Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

Last year, Disneyland tried to let fans live out their Star Wars dreams — now, they're helping out everyone who's wanted to be a superhero. Disney's giving you a taste of that feeling with Avengers Campus, their new Marvel-themed land opening this July at California Adventure.

The new area builds on Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: Breakout. It features a Spider-Man ride that uses gesture-tracking tech to let you sling virtual webs — with no external devices, just the movement of your wrist. You'll also be able to enjoy superhero photo ops, watch them battle villains, and buy Ant-Man enlarged/shrunken food. There are also plans for an Avengers-themed attraction coming in the land's next phase.

We took an early tour and spoke with the Imagineers to find out everything you might want to know.
