Marvel Avengers Campus: the land of Marvel superheroes

Marvel Avengers Campus is the Marvel land of Disney Adventure World (formerly Walt Disney Studios Park) at Disneyland Paris, at the back left of the park.

The land is themed as the American headquarters of the Avengers. It is part of a wider, interconnected story shared with the other Avengers Campus lands around the world (Disney California Adventure and, under the name Stark Expo, Hong Kong Disneyland). The storytelling relies on several major set pieces: the Quinjet (the Avengers’ iconic aircraft), the Avengers Deployment Vehicle (ADV), designed in the story by Tony Stark with Shuri of the Wakanda Design Group to deploy the superheroes, plus F.R.I.D.A.Y. (Female Replacement Intelligent Digital Assistant Youth) and the Hulkbuster.

The land has two rides. Avengers Assemble: Flight Force is a retheme of the former Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster: it keeps the indoor rollercoaster track with its three inversions, in rethemed cars. Visitors team up with Iron Man and Captain Marvel to divert Kree missiles threatening Earth. Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure is an open day at the W.E.B. (Worldwide Engineering Brigade), Tony Stark’s fictional company, where robotic spiders, the Spider-Bots, run riot and multiply. Wearing 3D glasses, visitors stretch out their arms to shoot webs, as the technology tracks their movements. Targets are worth different points depending on their colour (blue, green, gold), and a scoreboard shows the best scores of the day, week and month.

The Hero Training Center, next to Flight Force, hosts meets with Marvel characters.

Dining is built around three venues: PYM Kitchen (themed on Ant-Man and his shrinking and growing experiments), Stark Factory and Super Diner, plus three food trucks: WEB - Worldwide Eating Brigade, FAN-tastic Food Truck and Cassie’s Ice Cream. The main shops are Mission Equipment and Portal Shop. Finally, the land puts on rooftop shows, with stunt performers playing the superheroes (Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Black Panther and others) in regular acrobatic sequences.

The land is presented as a secret Avengers recruitment centre for the next generation of superheroes. Visitors enter a base where they are treated as heroes in training, and take part in missions alongside Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Spider-Man and other Marvel figures.

The common thread is a hero’s training: each ride is a mission (Avengers Assemble: Flight Force = an operational flight, Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure = training to catch Spider-Bots), and the superhero meets keep the immersion going.

The land in numbers, pulled together from across the site for a super quick visual summary.

The site was once the Backlot area, open from 2002 to 2019, which was home to Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith (closed in September 2019), Armageddon: Special Effects and the stunt show Moteurs... Action!.

The land is part of the Disney Adventure World expansion plan announced in February 2018 (D23 Expo Japan), which set out three themed areas: Marvel, Frozen and Star Wars (the last of which was eventually dropped). The transformation of Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster into an Iron Man ride was revealed there, and the name Avengers Campus was confirmed at the 2019 D23 Expo.

Designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, the land was built between 1 April 2019 and summer 2022, with its opening pushed back by the Covid-19 pandemic. Marvel Avengers Campus finally opened on 20 July 2022, on the footprint of the former Backlot.

The land is inspired by Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure (4 June 2021), the world’s first Marvel land. The Paris version includes Avengers Assemble: Flight Force on the layout of the former Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster.
