LOS ANGELES, April 8 (Reuters) - A new Avengers-themed area featuring a Spider-Man ride, roaming superheroes and a shawarma food cart will open at Walt Disney Co s Disneyland Resort in California on June 4, the head of the company s parks division said on Thursday.
The debut will come weeks after the resort in Anaheim, about 35 miles southeast of Los Angeles, begins welcoming back guests for the first time in a year starting on April 30.
Disneyland, the original Disney theme park, and neighboring California Adventure were closed in March 2020 to help prevent spread of the novel coronavirus. The shutdown thwarted plans to open the Avengers Campus in July 2020.
It’s been almost a full year since
Disneylandclosed last year at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. But now that the COVID-19 vaccine is being distributed far and wide, it’s finally time for the happiest place on Earth to lift people’s spirits by reopening for the spring.
Disneyland Resort has announced the Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park will be reopening to the public with limited capacity starting on
April 30. But not everything will be up and running as usual, and enhanced health and safety measures will still be in place. Get the details on Disneyland reopening below.
In early June, Disneyland will open its new Avengers Campus to the public, giving superhero fans the chance to explore iconic destinations from the Marvel universe, meet the Avengers, participate in ride-through attractions, and more. Disneyland Resort is located in California, which recently revealed plans to start opening back up.
The Avengers Campus features multiple destinations, including World Engineering Brigade (WEB), Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!, Doctor Strange’s ancient sanctum, WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, WEB Suppliers, and more. These will be joined by the Campus Supply Pod where Avengers-themed items will be sold.
Disney says that the new campus will also include places to eat, most notably the Pym Test Kitchen based on the ‘Pym Particles’ used in Ant-Man and The Wasp. For the adults, there’s also the Pym Tasting Lab where craft beer and cocktails will be available (both places will support mobile ordering, too).
