As the Disneyland Resort remains closed due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, so too does the Avengers Campus construction site. As we reported a few weeks ago, Disney has halted construction around the domestic theme parks and Avengers Campus falls under that halt order.
Now, it seems that Disney is projecting that they will miss the July 18th opening date. As first reported by MiceChat, the Disneyland website has removed the July 18th opening date and replaced it with “Coming Soon”. You can see the change below.
There hasn’t been an official announcement by Disney yet, but they’ve lost a month of construction already, and with the theme parks closed indefinitely, there is no telling when they’ll be able to finish the construction.
Over at Walt Disney World, we’ll likely see other openings shifted and missed as a result of the closures. Projects like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will likely shift into the Fall or later while other projects have been defunded completely.
As a quick refresher, Avengers Campus is home to the Worldwide Engineering Brigade – also known as “WEB” – which will house a new Spider-Man experience, the first Disney ride-through attraction to feature this iconic superhero.
During an open house at WEB, the aspiring inventors are excited to invite you for a test drive of their latest invention: the “Web Slinger” vehicle, which allows you to sling webs just like Spider-Man! The attraction gives you a taste of what it’s like to have actual superpowers as you help Spider-Man collect Spider-Bots that have run amok.
Avengers Campus will also feature Pym Test Kitchen. Just as Ant-Man and The Wasp use “Pym Particles” to grow and shrink just about anything, Pym Technologies is using the latest innovations to grow and shrink food at this eatery.
You will also find heroic encounters throughout the campus, including Black Widow, Ant-Man and The Wasp, Doctor Strange, the Guardians of the Galaxy, superheroes from Wakanda and Asgard, and Iron Man.
As superheroes continue to assemble at the campus, one of its iconic buildings will be the Avengers Headquarters where you should be on the lookout for Avengers in action.
All of that is only phase one for the land, with Phase Two set to open in the coming years and feature the headliner Avengers E-Ticket ride that Disney has briefly touched on. We go into more detail on the attraction (HERE).
