General Park News - (10/23/22) The release of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” will be celebrated at the Disneyland Resort starting Nov. 11th, especially inside the Avengers Campus. According to the Disney Parks Blog from Nov. 11 through to Jan. 8, 2023, “you can encounter, learn from and celebrate the arrival of new visiting warriors, taste Wakanda-inispired delicacies, discover props from the film and move in Avengers Campus and beyond at Disney California Adventure park, plus pose with a special art installation at the Downtown Disney District.”
Of course an assortment of new Wakandan characters will arrive inside the Avengers Campus, including the mysterious new Blank Panther along with M’Baku who will be on hand to show new recruits “The Way of the Jabari” clan. Follow the link for more details.
 2023 - Rogers: The Musical, San Fransokyo, World of Color ONE - (2/26/2023) More changes are coming to Disney California Adventure it seems, as the former Pacific Wharf area will be officially transformed this summer into the city of San Fransokyo, as seen in the film Big Hero 6. The overall purpose of the area isn’t expected to change, as it was primarily used as a location for several of the park’s restaurants, which will be joined by a new “Port of San Franksokyo Cerveceria” beer garden. Baymax will also arrive for a character Meet & Greet opportunity.
So far however, the conversion is mostly about theme, and no new Big Hero 6 themed attractions have been mentioned.
Elsewhere in the park… remember when we mentioned that a new production was being prepared for the Hyperion Theater? According to a teaser posted by Marvel’s Avengers Twitter, DCA is getting a real-life version of Rogers: The Musical, the fake broadway play as seen in the Disney+ Hawkeye series.
(2/4/2023) A new show is apparently in the works for the Hyperion Theater at Disney California Adventure. A new casting call has gone out for singers and performers to work on a new “limited run musical” production at the venue.
Based on the roles they are casting for, this may be a bit of a mix-up of Disney properties, but since one of the principle roles being cast is a group of 3 females, age 20-50, who can sing together, including as a “greek chorus”, I can’t help but think that Hercules will be part of this show.
(1/28/2023) Curious to see the new World of Color - ONE show? Theme Park Insider has posted a great looking video showing off Disney California Adventure’s newest version of the epic nighttime spectacular.
(1/8/2023) Disney California Celebration has released a teaser video for the latest upgrade to the park’s World of Color nighttime show. Coming as part of th e new Disney100 celebration, the park will launch “World of Color - ONE” starting on Jan. 27, 2023. Check out the preview below!
???? - Avengers Campus Expansion - In Development - (9/11/22) After rumors had been floating that the proposed Phase-2 attraction for Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure had been put on the shelf, Disney itself has confirmed that they’re not done with Avengers Campus. In a tweet posted yesterday Disney appears to be back on track with planning a 3rd attraction for Avengers Campus that would include a “brand-new story that will bring guests into battle alongside their favorite Super Heroes.” This is a reflection of the strong performance and demand being seen for the company’s theme park division.
(3/11/22) During the Disney shareholders Q&A session the other day questions arose about a couple of attractions Disney had announced, but hasn’t made any forward progress with yet. In this case, the previously announced Mary Poppins attraction at Epcot’s UK pavilion and an Avenger’s attraction meant to come as a Phase 2 for the Avengers Campus lands.
As one might expect from such a meeting, the answers were a bit of a mixed bag that started off by deflecting the question a bit to point out all the attractions they have opened or were about to open in the near future. Then they confirmed that these projects were essentially put on hold some time back due to the pandemic. Lastly, it was implied that maybe the projects could be put back into play in the future as the financial performance of things returns more back to normal, but there was no promise to do so.
While Disney could easily just opt to forget about the proposed Mary Poppins project entirely, it won’t be as easy to keep an Avengers project on hold, especially as the characters and themes are pre-built into the Avengers Campus lands, leaving guests already clamoring for the expansions to get under way. If not in the original form intended, we’ve heard there may be an alternate project or two (likely at a lower budget) being held for possible consideration. So long as Disney continues to put out Marvel movies, there will always be a demand for more Marvel themed experiences in the parks.
(8/24/20) BlooLoop has posted an update about the Avengers Campus attraction under construction at Disney California Adventure. With construction moving ahead once again Disney released an updated look at the land, including the new Quinjet that has been installed. The arrival of the Quinjet is an important feature that will play heavily into the theme of the major attraction set to be installed in the second phase of the land, which is rumored to be an Avengers themed ride experience.
(8/27/19) Disney also confirmed that there will be a Phase 2 to the Avengers Campus, which will indeed be that promised new Avengers themed ride. The latest details on this attraction coming later is that guests will board a Quinjet and fly off to help the Avengers battle a new threat in Wakanda. This will all take place inside a brand new structure that will be the actual Avengers Headquarters. Disney wont say exactly what kind of ride this will be, only that they are working on developing an “all-new innovative ride system” to bring the experience to life.
