Superheroes, unite! Marvel makeover to hit Disney parks across globe
Disney parks are showing off their regeneration and shape-shifting abilities by revamping areas to showcase Marvel superheroes.
Disney parks in California, France and Hong Kong will undergo changes to feature “the next generation” of superheroes, marketing reps say. Disney’s Hotel New York will also change to feature superheroes like the Avengers and Spider-Man.
Disney California Adventure Park, in Anaheim, will feature Spider-Man and the Avengers in what will be “a completely immersive” superhero universe beginning in 2020, according to a news release.
The Orange County Register reported that the new area dedicated to superheroes will replace a bug-based attractions area developed after the success of the Pixar film “A Bug’s Life” that appealed mostly to little kids.
“We are excited to take the next step by immersing our guests in this ever-expanding universe,” Bob Chapek, chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Consumer Products, said in a statement. “(This) is only the beginning!”
The additions join Marvel attractions already in place, such as Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! at Disneyland in California.
Disneyland Paris will feature Iron Man and the Avengers.
Hong Kong Disneyland will have a new Marvel-themed area featuring Ant-Man and the Wasp.
The Iron Man Experience, which opened in 2017 at Hong Kong Disneyland, has become the most popular attraction there.
