All of your favorite super heroes will be coming to Disney California Adventure when Avengers Campus opens up later this year. And today we learned guests will be able to see Spider-Man like they’ve never seen him before – swinging above the rooftops of the new land, according to the Disney Parks Blog.
- Disney also released a video providing a special look at Spider-Man in action:
- If the movements of that web-slinger look familiar, you may be remembering a 2018 video from TechCrunch which shared a look at Walt Disney Imagineering’s Stuntronics project and an “autonomous robot stunt double” pulling off some similar aerial feats.
- At the time of the release of this video, we speculated that the technology might eventually be used to portray Marvel characters in the Disney Parks.
- In fact, even Principal R&D Imagineer Tony Dohi said, “So what this is about is the realization we came to after seeing where our characters are going on screen, whether they be Star Wars characters, or Pixar characters, or Marvel characters or our own animation characters, is that they’re doing all these things that are really, really active. And so that becomes the expectation our park guests have that our characters are doing all these things on screen — but when it comes to our attractions, what are our animatronic figures doing? We realized we have kind of a disconnect here.”
