Inside Look at the Construction of the Main Show Building for Avengers Infinity Defense

A structural engineer shares an inside look at the structural mechanics and seismic design behind the new Avengers: Infinity Defense attraction.

The Disneyland Resort released a video showing the construction of the Avengers Campus with structural engineer Alanna.

What’s Happening:

  • Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is expanding to include two new attractions, anchored by the massive Avengers: Infinity Defense show building.
  • Walt Disney Imagineering released an Instagram reel with Disney structural engineer Alanna taking a tour of the construction site.
  • The video shows off the primary structure with deep underground foundations to support the main building columns.
  • Overhead catwalks are currently being installed to eventually house the heavy infrastructure required for the attraction, including projectors, audio systems, and complex physical show elements.

About the Avengers Campus Expansion:

  • Avengers: Infinity Defense will be a motion-based dark ride where guests travel to Asgard, Wakanda, and New York City to stop King Thanos from utilizing stolen multiverse-jumping technology.
  • The expansion will also feature Stark Flight Lab, a secondary attraction utilizing a Kuka robotic arm system to swing two-person pods through a simulated test flight.
  • The two attractions will be joined by a massive, newly constructed white metal canopy.
  • Vertical construction for the expansion officially began in August 2025.
