The excitement was palpable as Disney fans eagerly tuned into the latest announcements from D23, hoping for a groundbreaking update on the new attraction coming to Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure. However, the long-awaited reveal left many feeling disheartened rather than thrilled.
As the spotlight first shone on the ride vehicle for the Marvel-inspired land, comparisons quickly emerged. The vehicle itself seemed uncannily similar to those used in attractions like The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man and TRANSFORMERS: The Ride-3D at Universal, leading to a chorus of disappointed reactions across social media. While some fans hypothesized it could be akin to Peter Pan’s Never Land Adventure’s technology, many couldn’t shake the feeling that Disney was repeating rather than innovating.
Scott Gustin (@ScottGustin) shared images of the new ride vehicle on his social media account, highlighting the shared feeling of dismay among fans. Comments ranged from humorous critiques to more serious concerns about the use of screen-based simulation rather than practical thrill elements. User @FormidablePof humorously pointed out the vehicle’s resemblance to Universal’s rides from the late ’90s, while @Mileos4 criticized Disney for labeling familiar tech as groundbreaking.
Despite the mixed reactions, some fans hold out hope for a more dynamic adventure. User @LittleAussie42 optimistically suggested that the attraction could include a surprise element, such as a drop or a minor roller coaster section, similar to the groundbreaking experiences found in Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
Clearly, the collective hope is that Disney still has some tricks up its sleeve for this new Avengers Campus addition. As discussions continue, fans eagerly await more details, hoping that the final product will exceed initial impressions.
