NEWS: Disney Submits Plans for NEW Park Expansion

Disneyland Resort has a lot of exciting updates coming over the next few years!

California Adventure

Back in August, Disney announced that Disney California Adventure will be getting a new Avatar expansion as well as a new expansion to Avengers Campus. DisneylandForward was also approved earlier this year, providing more opportunities for experiences, attractions, and more at the resort. It’s certainly an exciting time in history for Walt’s original theme park. And now, Disney has officially submitted the early plans required to begin the prep work for the Avengers Campus expansion!

According to The Orange County Register, Disneyland has submitted plans to the city of Anaheim for the Avengers Campus expansion prep work. This plan includes utilities, temporary trailers, and parking lots in the backstage area behind Avengers Campus that will be impacted by the new park area.

The plan is currently under review and is the first step in the process before demolition permits are submitted and approved. According to city officials, the Avengers Campus expansion is NOT part of the DisneylandForward plan, which means this is an additional plan for Disneyland, and we have much more to look forward to!

Avengers Vault

The new Avengers Campus expansion will include two new rides that Disney announced at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event earlier this year. Avengers Infinity Defense and Stark Flight Lab will both be added to the new area.

Avengers Campus

Disney shared this about the new Avengers Infinity Defense — “Technology that allows the Avengers to jump between worlds has gone missing, and King Thanos is using it to wreak havoc everywhere. Recruits will travel to iconic locations like Asgard, Wakanda, and New York City alongside the likes of big and small heroes. You also just might find yourself face-to-face with King Thanos, too.”

Avengers Infinity Defense will have guests join in battle across the multiverse alongside the Avengers to defeat King Thanos and recover stolen Stark technology.

In Stark Flight Lab, “you’re going to sit in two-person pods and deploy to a test station. Then a robot arm grabs your pod and starts whirling you around in a simulated flight.”
