With the final piece of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge slotting into place now that Rise Of The Resistance is finally open on Disneyland and Disney World's Batuu, we can now start shifting our focus to the next big project on the horizon: Disneyland's Avenger's Campus, the new land in California Adventure, themed around Marvel Studios characters and franchises. Last year's D23 Expo gave us some up-close and personal looks at what we can expect from the new park area, including a preview of the new Spider-Man themed ride and Ant-Man and The Wasp themed eatery--but now, with the opening of Avengers Campus just months away, the nitty-gritty details are starting to be fleshed out.
And, unsurprisingly, given the sort of characters and stories the MCU tends to deal with, they're getting pretty weird.
The official Disney Parks blog has announced that Avengers Campus will feature a life-sized animatronic Spider-Man that will periodically hurl itself in a fashion that only a spider can over the rooftops of Avengers Campus's many Marvel-themed buildings. And if you're having a hard time figuring out exactly what that might entail, they also posted an official clip of the animatronic in action.
An even better look at what can be expected can be found in this clip of the Disney+ original series, Imagineering Story, which features the Imagineers testing the Spidey-Bot by literally hurling it through the air like a Cirque Du Soleil acrobat.
Nothing says "what could possibly go wrong" like watching a very heavy, very expensive animatronic be launched however many feet into the air to perform stunts over a crowded theme park. But all potential dangers (and/or inevitable Westworld-style robot uprisings) aside, we're pretty excited to see exactly what this not-so-little webhead can do when the land finally opens.
Avenger's Campus is coming to Disneyland in Anaheim in the summer of 2020.
