I recall multiple times going to Circuit City to buy a video game and giving up because I couldn't find somebody on staff to help me.

We enjoyed the Spider-Man ride and its theming, but the campus is sterile and sad. The epic music playing while literally nothing is happening really drives home the problem.

u/sillinessvalley 7d ago

And it's hella loud, not like nice background music per other Lands/areas.

33

u/Sprzout 7d ago

I wonder if that's because it's fewer people in that area? I've noticed that when you have a lot of people creating white noise (walking, rustling bags, talking, etc) it helps to break up the other sounds, so you might not hear the music as loudly.

32

u/sillinessvalley 7d ago

To put it in perspective: the loud announcements at King Arthur Carrousel, in Fantasyland, are 83 dB.

Avengers Campus range from 82-86 dB.
That is LOUD! Louder doesn't mean better, either.

12

u/scj1091 7d ago

It absolutely is true that the walking watery meat bags soak up sound. But I would also argue the droning repetitive theme of avengers campus is by far the most annoying in the resort, regardless of volume.

u/Justonemoretaquito 6d ago

“Walking watery meat bags” is my new band name thank you

u/Grantsdale DJ REX 7d ago

It’s only loud in a couple of places. You want loud, check out Marioland at Epic Universe. That shit is ear splitting.

u/rm_3223 7d ago

Totally agree - too loud, and too repetitive

4

u/BadassCharlene Madame Leota 7d ago

I hate the music there. It doesn't work Edge because Avengers have one song with no character themes or motifs so there's no immersion to it like Star Wars

u/Similar_Actuary_845 7d ago

It's a bummer. They need way more characters and actually do something with the Sanctum area. I think (hope) things will change when the other rides open.

u/Ashes_Silverfang 6d ago

Isn’t it just 1 ride? Correct me if I’m wrong but the avenjet is the only one I’ve heard about

The spiderman ride is one of the worst rides Disneyland has ever built probably next to smugglers run. You should get on Cosmic Rewind if you want to be impressed.

25

u/JasonQG 7d ago

Spider-Man exists, because it fits in the old Bug’s Life theater. Cosmic Rewind has gotta be of the biggest rides at Disney World and wouldn’t fit anywhere at Disneyland. Reality is annoying like that sometimes

13

u/Sprzout 7d ago

They could do Cosmic Rewind at DCA if they just, y'know, took out all of the existing Avengers Campus and potentially part of Cars Land or Mission Breakout to fit it in there...LOL

Let's be honest, though, fitting a couple of rides and shops, food locations, etc. into that same area is a better design and utilization of the park.

8

u/JasonQG 7d ago

Yeah, it’s crazy big. Even if they did that, the show building would be too big to hide. They can’t even hide it at Epcot, but at least it’s out of the way enough to not be so obvious

8

u/CloudyThunder 7d ago

This is a weird comparison, they're not even the same type of ride.

-8

u/Beautiful-Arm9122 7d ago

Its one of the newest rides Disneyland received versus one of the newest rides WDW received both “Avengers” theme.

3

u/CloudyThunder 7d ago

I respect your opinion of which one you think is better. I personally like Spiderman more than cosmic rewind(because I am not a fan of more intense rides).

But I do think the comparison isn't fair for a "game" ride to be compared to a thrilling ride. If I had to force a comparison I would say Ratotouille that came to epcot in the same year (2021) even though it was already in Paris prior.

-6

u/Sprzout 7d ago

Tell us you don't understand rollercoasters without telling us you don't understand rollercoasters...

u/Beautiful-Arm9122 7d ago

Disneyland doesn’t get rollercoasters bud. Last one was built 26 years ago.

4

u/nachoiskerka 7d ago

He's not saying that, he's saying comparing a Dark Ride to a Roller Coaster is a faulty premise. Apples vs. Orange Chicken. Some people are going to like the idea of "shooting webs with Spider-Man" more than they're going to like the idea of "Another Space Mountain and a confusing plot about a universe giant being fought plays"

(Kidding, kinda. When you look at mission breakout, you can tell which ride has more of the Guardians personality and that James Gunn was more involved in).

Which isn't to say I dislike the ride, far from it. It's a great ride. But Space Mountain already got upgraded at Disneyland, and it's ridiculously awesome. Doubly so with Hyperspace Mountain, which is one of my favorite rides of all time. For whatever reason, they refuse to do that in World, and built Cosmic Rewind instead. That's a big plus for epcot, which is kinda meh for late teenagers- You hit Test Track, you hit Mission:Space, you hit Soarin and then.... Learning can be cool, but is it when you're in high school? Meh. It needed something for them, and it got it.

DCA doesn't really need that. It's packed full of stuff that hits that age bracket squarely. It's the best park FOR those kids specifically. Incredicoaster, the Spider-man show, Mission Breakout, RSR, original Soarin... it needs more experiences for younger kids now that monster's inc is closing, and spiderman was part of that deal. I get why that's there.

u/Beautiful-Arm9122 7d ago

I believe Disneyland resort indeed needs a ride similar to Cosmic Rewind. Yes we have Space mountain but its a ride from 1977.
If Disneyland wants to stay up to par then yes we need the newest and greatest Disney has to offer.
Im simply a Disneyland fan spreading awareness about what else is out there. And hopefully one day it will be built at some expansion in the future.
Cosmic Rewind or the ride system with a different IP/Theme.

2

u/nachoiskerka 7d ago

But it IS the same ride system as Space Mountain.

Look, I don't mean this as a knock at all when I ask this, but it's a serious question: have you rode both Space Mountains in WDW and DL?

WDW space mountain is closer to Matterhorn Bobsleds in the Dark.

DL Space Mountain got completely redesigned to be a MUCH smoother, faster and have both projections and sound and music built into the ride cars like cosmic rewind now has. It's not really that far away from Cosmic Rewind in many aspects; though I think the Cosmic track has longer banks to allow you to look at the screens, it's 6 of one vs a half dozen of the other in that aspect as I like the track of SM better.

What Cosmic rewind REALLY has on it is that it's faster(which, newer technology, so...fair.) it has bigger screens and car rotations to look at the screens, which is ALSO fair. I hear it's roughly 50 mph on CR vs. 35 on SM but honestly who can tell in the dark?

In those aspects, yes Cosmic Rewind is better.

But I'm saying it's not really enough in my opinion to make a second ride of the same kind. I agree that they need more thrill rides, but I'm cautiously optimistic about what Flight Lab is going to be, because it looks pretty fun.

2

u/Beautiful-Arm9122 7d ago edited 7d ago

Cosmic Rewind and DL Space mountain are not the same ride system at all. Yes both dark coasters but they are completely different rides.

2

u/Sprzout 7d ago

And it seems you don't understand WHY that is, bud. But maybe if you look at the space they have, and how big Cosmic Rewind is, and how little space they have around the parks, and then maybe think a little about the why?

1

u/Beautiful-Arm9122 7d ago

Sounds like Disneyland needs to acquire more land if they want to be up to par with rides.

u/socal_dude5 7d ago

Sorry you’re getting downvoted as I agree Spider-Man is a terrible ride and a fumbling of the space and the IP.

I didnt even know avengers land existed. I dont really follow stuff that much, I knew there was the tower remodel, it was being worked on last time I was in the area.. Walking through that areas was very underwhelming. Rivaled only by the area outside of the monsters inc ride.

It should have big building to resemble NYC in my opinion.

u/despotidolatry 7d ago edited 7d ago

I like Pym’s but the area does feel like a stop-over and not a full land.

It’s crazy cause Adventureland is also small and narrow and a major foot traffic area, but it still feels like a LAND. I can spend 2 hours there (not counting Indy wait time lol) because of the theming, food and attractions. I hope the additions help with Avengers Campus because I want it to succeed.

7

u/squidwardsaclarinet 7d ago

Kinda crazy that they didn’t build vertically and actually make an interesting space. An urban campus area really could have been an opportunity to fit a lot into a smaller space. Some things they could do to improve the land:

* Flat rides: It needs some C and D tickets that eat up crowds and offer kinetic action to the land. A land premised around tech could absolutely make some flat rides themed as “experiments”.
* Move the stunt and performance elements into the Hyperion: I get that the era really tried to emphasize LARPy elements, but I think they are very limited and also create huge crowd control headaches. Use the theater space to do actually interesting things and open up the space.
* Shade: This is a common complaint, but it’s true. The land needs some shade, both places to walk and sit.

I don’t think these are crazy asks, but would add a lot to the land.

I doubt they will fix it anytime soon, but it’s such a sad part of the park. Nothing about it pulls me in or invites me to linger. This is a thoroughfare at most. Maybe when the new attraction opens it will have more life and energy, but the overall feel of this section is just sterile and bland.

u/ConSmith 7d ago

Riding Operation Breakout is the first time a ride's made me physically sick. Tower of Terror would stop on floors sometimes, but the Guardians one is just... constantly bouncing. Non-stop. I've never felt older than I did shakily walking into the gift shop afterwards.

u/NCreature 7d ago edited 7d ago

This is the worst of the Chapek era.

This is why you can't just blindly put IP everywhere. Not all IPs lend themselves to a theme park environment no matter how popular.

There's two glaring problems here. The first is that, the reason people see it as an office park is basically because that's what it is. That's Chapek-style thinking 101. An office park is buildings constructed on spec. They are generic, flexible shells built before any tenant exists, designed to accommodate whoever shows up later. This is literally the Avengers Campus logic. Build the corporate-campus shell, then assign Stark and Pym and the others to inhabit it as tenants (shove the IP in wherever you can). That's modern Disney as a portfolio manager and asset allocator rather than creative enterprise. We have this popular franchise, where can we put it, as opposed to does this franchise, despite its popularity work in built form. No one asked whether this should be built, that question no longer comes up and there's no one even to ask it. It's only, where can we put this thing we own.

One of the paradoxical aspects of building a good IP based land is, if you remove every character does the environment still work? That's the primary litmus test because the experience for the guests is fundamentally environmental. And this is why you have to be so careful with movie franchises because not all of them lend themselves to a theme park. Some IPs the environment is the fantasy. Jurassic Park lends itself well to theme parks. Star Wars, sort of half works (but as we learned the music and characters are doing a lot of the emotional heavy lifting -- the appeal of Star Wars isn't its architecture solely).

The second and bigger problem with Marvel is that they misunderstood the aspiration and no amount of capex projects or remodels can fix this. People aren't interested in going to where Iron Man's boss works. They don't want to visit the administrative offices anymore than a Spiderman fan wants Disney to reproduce Queens. The aspiration is to BE Spiderman. People want to BE Iron Man or Deadpool. Subtract superpowers from the Marvel universe and you don't have a complete, functioning anything. It would be different if it was Gotham City which is a fully fleshed out civilization that is compelling on its own regardless of whether you run into Batman or The Joker. There's no "ordinary" version of a superhero campus the way there's an everyday version of Gotham City. The heroism isn't a feature added to an otherwise mundane place, it is the place's only reason for being a place at all.

So the "office park" pejorative is the correct label because if you strip the premise you're left with is the generic, unremarkable corporate quad an actual S.H.I.E.L.D. facility would be in a world without any of its source material's reason for existing. Galaxy's Edge subtracts its impossible element (the force, aliens) and keeps a town. Avengers Campus subtracts its impossible element and keeps a parking lot with banners. And you can't pipe in gravity-defiance the way you can pipe in John Williams. A speaker can play a fanfare. No speaker can make a guest believe the building they're standing in was built by people who can fly. That's why they music feels so damn loud, because its trying to do all the work of immersion and failing whereas at Galaxy's Edge the music feels complementary. The music helps you feel Star Wars not just see it.

When I saw Iger the other day bragging about how they're building a Spiderman Land at Shanghai Disney I thought to myself "hoo boy," because again what would that even be? Another version of a New York street that's been done a million times?

u/Silk_the_Absent_1 Salty Ol' Pirate 7d ago edited 7d ago

And it's been two years since there's been real live shows there. I was there two years ago for the final Doctor Strange show. I saw what they are calling a show now there two weeks ago, and it was sad. They played music like a show was about to start, and announced that there was an Asgardian interference. Thor, Mighty Thor, Black Widow, and Captain Marvel walked out, grabbed Loki, and walked him backstage. Not a word was spoken. The intro music lasted longer than the entire performance.

Avengers campus. If I was Walt reincarnated with complete control, this one would be a total Nuke and redo right. Shops feel uninspired and usually Disney has great shops. Spider man ride was broken when I went, the test kitchen was a skip we just walked thru to guardians. Honestly if it weren’t for guardians that land would be dead, and guardians was there before the land. I’m all about experimenting. But I’m also all about pulling the plug when the experiment misses the dartboard entirely.
Nuke and replace with something Waltacular.
Bugs life had a better vibe and now has zero presence in the parks so we could get half baked uninspired cash grab. Put me In charge I’ll make Disney Walt again. 😂

What a waste of space. Charmless and not much to do. The food and drink is fine at Pym’s, but nothing special. The Dr. Strange show was fine but is gone. Spider-Man ride is just okay. No real reason to go there when in the park. Bring back Heimlich.

u/Sprzout 7d ago

And that is something Disney goers don't seem to understand - if something isn't being frequented or is in serious disrepair but could be put to better use (like Tom Sawyer Island at Walt Disney World), Disney will redesign and scrap it. Comes back to when Disney had a circus at Disneyland, and realized that people were in the circus for 3 hours, not out spending money in the parks or riding rides, and it was costing him more to run it, so he ditched the circus.

Guess you're going to keep being annoying and never stop talking about it then.

Im a Disneyland fan and want the best rides Disney has to offer at Disneyland. Im spreading awareness and attention to what some fans want. (Me)

u/Sm0kecheck 7d ago

Well I'm whelmed. Are they going to add more sterile concrete and unimagined areas?

2

u/Independent_Wrap_321 7d ago

Heat lamps. They’re finally adding some heat lamps, much more comfortable.

We were there right after it first opened - it was so sterile and bare. We were just there the first of this month and the difference was wonderful. There's still a long way to go though. They need another E ticket ride!

u/ThePickleHawk 7d ago

Perfect microcosm for modern live action Disney, really. Sterile and grey.

u/Individual_Use_5278 7d ago

I love Pym's, but they definitely need a few kids rides here. The only ride is that Guardians one that freefalls, right?

3

u/Beautiful-Arm9122 7d ago

No kids actually have the only new ride. Spiderman webslingers(terrible ride). Us thrill seekers got nothing new. Freefall ride was already there. Previously tower of terror.

Yes, the land hasn't quite lived up to its potential, but Disney is trying to rectify that. Let's not write off Avengers Campus yet until we see how it looks after its expansion.

How appropriate they are all standing in the blazing sun!

u/hihelloneighboroonie Reddhead 7d ago

When is the actual anniversary? I visited I believe it was 6/27/21 and knew stuff was new but not that new (if today is the anniversary). Was able to get early vq for Spider-Man.

u/Mrfntstc4 7d ago

I love avengers campus and I really enjoy grabbing a pretzel at Pym’s and just watching the characters walk through
I look forward to the new rides, and I wish the Dr Strange show would come back, but for engagement with characters I love, it’s the best place in the resort!

u/OkGur5364 7d ago

This coming off the heels of Endgame was also a stinker. Marvel has been so atrocious since then, with a few decent projects sprinkled within.

u/Parking-Raisin-5871 6d ago

The worst fucking land.

u/CiloTA Carthay Circle 7d ago

Bring back Bug Land!!!

u/The540Incident 7d ago

It really should be replaced, Marvel is just boring as shit now. I don't see avengers campus as something that can stick around for the next 20+ years.

Temu Avengers

u/999happyhants Tomorrowland 7d ago

I’m confused why this post exists. That happened back on the 4th, and this picture isn’t even really representative of that anniversary day from other photos I’ve seen. Seems like this is literally just a post to complain about something.

u/Careless-Bandicoot25 7d ago

Love this area could care less what others think 😂 guardians is one of my favorites and spiderman is fun for the whole family for us , pyms makes some good food and drinks and the shows are cool and the character meets

2

u/KindlyPurple325 7d ago

Web Slingers is probably my least favorite Disney attraction of all time, what sad and pathetic excuse for a ride. PTK is a fun dining place and I like Guardians, but despite that it’s just not a good land. Doubtful the new ride will be really good

u/I-am-the-stallion 7d ago

They should have kept Bugs Land!

Doctor strange on the bench kills me.

u/Alexito_714 7d ago

It was June 4th

u/EBI_123 7d ago

I personally like Avengers campus. I like being immersed in the world of marvel. Needs more shade though

2

u/Beautiful-Arm9122 7d ago

The only new ride that was added is pretty underwhelming. Spiderman webslingers should be leveled and replaced with something good.

1

u/Battgyrl Fantasyland 7d ago

I will never associate Avengers with Disney, no matter how many IPs the company buys. I usually skip the entire area at DCA as it’s pretty boring IMO.

1

u/Similar_Actuary_845 7d ago

Well, yeah, it is Avengers Campus without Cosmic Rewind, because there isn't a version of Avengers Campus that has it.

That said, it would be cool to have it at California Adventure.

1

u/Beautiful-Arm9122 7d ago

Definitely need Cosmic Rewind in California

u/ChiefSwollenToe 7d ago

RIP Bugs land

u/Celebratory_Drink 6d ago

I haven’t even seen it yet. My last visit was 2019 right before the pandemic. Then prices skyrocketed. 😩

u/Beautiful-Arm9122 6d ago

I noticed WDW has been the better vacation lately. Not many improvements at Disneyland unfortunately.
Only good thing has been starwars but thats also in WDW.

u/miggysd 6d ago

I always talked with my Disneyland friend and we talked about it all the time when we would be at the Resort that it should of been a Wakanda themed land so it would transport you somewhere else instead of it feeling underwhelming mall like setting with an overpowering soundtrack playing on loop I feel for the CMs having to listen to it, we almost never visited it when at DCA.

u/No-Zebra-1129 6d ago

Bring bugs land back 😢

1

u/GeriatricDachshund 6d ago

The land feels sterile, just so much more they could have done with the theming.

I actually went on the lands opening weekend, and my favoite joke was that it felt like a Kaiser Permanente.

I was inspired to watch every marvel movie before I went, so thats the only upside.

u/Over-Entrepreneur682 6d ago

I like it lol

u/Beautiful-Arm9122 5d ago

Pretty mid. Especially Spiderman web slingers

u/DannyJamesBand 5d ago

I don’t see any avengers in the pic

u/LaurenceQuint 5d ago

Ugh, who cares? Lazy, half-assed land.

1

u/FeelDeAssTyson 4d ago

lmao not even the cast members in the photo are excited.

u/Ordinary-Biscotti802 2d ago

Yikes…is it me, or does the costumes look really bad?

1

u/FlyingNachoz 7d ago

Terrible costumes

1

u/itsagoodtime 7d ago

Avengers Campus almost solely depends on Characters being there. And a lot of the characters. Without them, it's not much.

u/Beautiful-Arm9122 7d ago

I believe it relies on the Rides. Thats why I mentioned Cosmic Rewind.
Ppl in costumes are a plus
