In a piece of news that might bring a hint of nostalgia and a dash of sadness to Disney California Adventure fans, it’s been confirmed that the iconic Red Car Trolley is set to close permanently next year. This beloved fixture has been a charming presence on Buena Vista Street since it first rolled onto the scene in July 2012.
The closure comes as part of an ambitious expansion of the Avengers Campus, a move that’s sure to excite Marvel aficionados. Construction is expected to begin in 2025, requiring the removal of the Red Car Trolley barn to make way for this thrilling new project. Disney enthusiasts who have a special fondness for the trolley might want to experience one last ride before it’s gone!
Among the slated additions to the Avengers Campus are the much-anticipated Stark Flight Lab attraction and Avengers: Infinity Defense. These rides are set to double the current footprint of the campus, promising even more immersive experiences tied to the Marvel universe. Announced at D23 earlier this month, these new attractions are sure to add layers of excitement to the theme park’s already dynamic offerings.
While the trolley has made countless trips up and down Buena Vista Street, ferrying guests and adding a vintage flair to the Disney California Adventure experience, no specific closing date has been announced yet. Visitors are encouraged to revisit and relish the experience before it’s relegated to the annals of Disney history.
