CONFIRMED: We Know When Construction Will Begin on Avengers Campus EXPANSION

Disney dropped some HUGE park news at the beginning of August at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event and a lot of it was about new rides, new lands, and new expansions.

Disney California Adventure

For example, Villains Land and Cars rides were announced for Magic Kingdom in Disney World, as well as a new Monsters, Inc. land in Hollywood Studios. Disney also announced new Avatar and Marvel attractions coming to Disney California Adventure. However, Disney did NOT tell us when the new California Adventure attractions would be getting added to the park. But now, we know construction on the new Avengers Campus attractions will be starting sooner rather than later!

During the D23 event in Anaheim, CA, Deadpool showed up to join Josh D’Amaro, Disney Experiences Chairman, on stage with several Marvel announcements. One of those was that Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure will be doubling in size and adding TWO new attractions to the Marvel-themed area.

When Deadpool and D’Amaro made this announcement, they did not share WHEN these new attractions would be coming to the Avengers Campus nor even when construction would begin on them. But now we know construction will begin in early 2025! It was previously announced that we’d see work in 2025, but now we can expect it in the early months of next year.

When work begins, the backstage Red Car Trolley barn will need to be removed causing Disney to discontinue operation of the trolley attraction in early 2025. There was no word on if the trolley will come back after construction is complete. A specific date for the closure will be shared later this winter.

When the new attractions are completed, we’ll be able to ride Avengers Infinity Defense to try to stop Thanos from wreaking havoc among worlds as well as Stark Flight Lab where you can learn to fly like Tony Stark (a.k.a. Iron Man)! It will be an exciting expansion to the Avengers Campus and the world of Marvel at Disney California Adventure.
