New Details Revealed for Disneyland's Upcoming Avengers Campus Attraction
Leslie Iwerks got some Avengers Campus details while making her new film.
When the Disney Experiences showcase arrives at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event on Saturday night, a not insignificant number of fans will be waiting to hear new details on the current expansion under construction at Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure. And now we might have an idea of just what we'll hear, and maybe even see, thanks to Leslie Iwerks.
What's Happening:
- This morning The Walt Disney Company published a new interview with Leslie Iwerks, the documentarian who previously created The Imagineering Story and Disneyland Handcrafted.
- Her newest project, Disney Worldbuilders, has Iwerks interviewing major names within the Disney ecosystem, like Pixar's Pete Docter and Marvel Studios Kevin Feige, about the way that film projects and theme park attractions can work together to expand franchises and create worlds in new and exciting ways.
- Among Iwerks comments in the new interview is an interesting one regarding the E-ticket attraction currently being build at Avengers Campus, Avengers: Infinity Defense.
- Iwerks said: "Kevin Feige describes the new attraction being built at Avengers Campus and how the ride system with screens that shift with the guest’s point of view is going to redefine what a themed experience can be.
- While we certainly knew that the new ride would take advantage of screen technology, as well as more physical props, Iwerks' comment here that screens will "shift" as the perspective of guest changes, is something new, and more than a little intriguing.
- While the attraction is believed to be based on the same platform as the Peter Pan attraction which opened recently at Tokyo DisneySea, this would seem to indicate an advancement in technology from that ride.
- Whether these comments from Feige are actually in Worldbuilders isn't clear, but it does sound like the new documentary may give us a look at the future of the new attraction, and maybe a few more.
More Avengers Campus News:
- We can be all but certain that the Disney Experiences Showcase, which will be live streamed on Disney+, will give viewers at least a little new info about the Avengers Campus expansion.
- In addition, Kevin Feige is scheduled to appear at the Worldbuilders panel on Sunday of D23, so it's possible we could get some more details regarding exactly what Feige said, and what it all means, there.
- The Worldbuilders panel will also be livestreamed on Disney+, so it may be worth checking out.
