BREAKING NEWS: Disneyland Paris Reveals Epic New Show for WDS Incredible Marvel Summer of Super Heroes Season - Full Pictorial Report of DLP Announcement Event



During a special event at Paris Palais de Tokyo last night Disneyland Paris revealed details and rendering for the epic new show coming at WDS former Cinemagique theatre for the Marvel Summer of Super Heroes Season starting June 10!

I've got plenty of pictures and video for you but let's start by the official Press Release:

This summer, Marvel Super Heroes are landing at Walt Disney Studios Park for the Marvel Summer of Super Heroes season at Disneyland Paris. Spider-Man, Black Panther, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow and the Guardians of the Galaxy will all be there for another never-before-seen season, with multiple shows and experiences that promise to be EPIC! A brand new innovative stage show will be the main event, giving guests a truly immersive experience with their favorite Super Heroes.

This seasonal event is the beginning of a broader, long-term presence of the Marvel universe at Disneyland Paris, including a new Marvel-themed area and attraction, as well as the first Disney Hotel to showcase the thrilling world of the Avengers, Spider- Man and more rolling out in 2020. These new Marvel experiences are just one of the ways Walt Disney Parks and Resorts continues to bring immersive worlds to life for guests around the globe.



“Marvel: Super Heroes United”: a spectacular innovative production

Among the new additions for this summer, the Marvel: Super Heroes United show will bring together favorite Marvel Super Heroes for a new live show with cutting-edge technology. This live-action super-production mixes a huge 400 m2 stage with one of the biggest LED screens in Europe, incredible special effects and, for the first time, in a Disney Park, the indoor use of drones beneath unbelievable aerial choreography for a truly spectacular show.

Imagine You’re sitting in your chair with projections all around you, before some of the biggest Marvel Super Heroes on the stage, surrounded by breathtaking special effects for a unique and immersive experience. Marvel: Super Heroes United uses the latest technology to create a fully-immersive world.

The magic of video projections allows guests to move between worlds. You will travel with Doctor Strange to the “Sanctum Sanctorum,” visit Dr. Abraham Erskine’s lab (creator of the Super Soldier Serum used by Steve Rogers aka Captain America), and even enter the sanctuary of the evil villain Thanos.

In this brand new story, Thanos will bring trouble to the Avengers and their allies after finding a way to manipulate them, turning them against each another. Thanos succeeds in distracting the Avengers from their top priority which is to protect all mankind. Luckily, the Heroes will unite to thwart his evil plans. With a few more twists and turns the ultimate battle between good and evil prevails.


Backstage at... Marvel: Super Heroes United

• A huge stage measuring over 400 m2
• A projection area measuring 1,000 m2
• One of Europe’s largest LED screens
• A 180° video experience with over 30 video projectors
• Special effects and scenic pyrotechnics
• 80 light projectors and moving stage sets The Studio Theatre at Walt Disney Studios Park has been completely reimagined to welcome this show and its cutting-edge technology
• From initial studies to the end of construction, this project will involve almost 300 professionals.
• During the season, the show will be performed up to 5 times per day.

The Marvel Summer of Super Heroes seasonal event will be at Walt Disney Studios Park every day from June 10 through September 30, 2018.

Below, the video of the presentation of the Marvel show and Summer of Super Heroes coming to DLP WDS starting June 10, filmed for D&M by Robert Stallard yesterday during DLP announcement event at the Palais de Tokyo. And don't go away as there is much more coming below with more details and plenty of pictures!





Now, during DLP WDS Marvel Summer of Super Heroes there will be more than the amazing new show and our friends of ED92 did a special post about it, here is the english translation, for the french version please jump to ED92 HERE:

"Here we go, so hang on to your mask and cape because this publication promises to be the most super heroic of the year!

But let's start from the beginning. After almost a year of work, the Studio Theater (which previously proposed the show "CinéMagique") open again for the great production "Marvel: The Alliance of Super Heroes" which will undoubtedly be an epic show with a stage of 400 square meters, one of the largest LED screens in Europe and a projection area of 1000 square meters covered 180 degrees by more than 30 projectors.

But that will not be all as you'll also be entitled to pyrotechnics and even drones INSIDE the theater( a first in a Disney Park ). During one of the 5 daily performances you will discover Thanos trying again to destroy the Avengers. But luckily Black Widow and Spider-Man will thwart this attack alongside Iron Man (who will fly over your heads), Nebula, Hulk, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch and more.

After all these emotions, you'll go to the Place des Stars which will be the heart of this celebration with its titanic decorations.

Let's continue with the second big show of the season "Stark Expo presents: Energy for Tomorrow" on the outdoor Production Courtyard scene that will be entitled to 6 daily performances. There, Tony Stark will present his latest invention: the reactor Arc ( invention we will find in a few years at the heart of the new Iron Man coaster attraction replacing the Rock'n'Roller Coaster with Aerosmith ). The sneaky Loki will attempt to throw chaos in this presentation, but his brother Thor, accompanied by Black Widow and Spider-Man (which will make a dramatic twirling entry) will obviously counteract.

Then will come the most crazy show of the season: "Dance with the Guardians of the Galaxy" which will also take place 6 times a day on a second stage specifically built for the occasion on the Place des Stars. Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, and Gamora will need you to escape Taneleer Tivan's heat sensors, says the Collector. For that, only one solution: to raise the temperature by dancing on the iconic music of the 70s and 80s. If you already want to warm up, our friends from Mousesteps have posted this video HERE of the American version of the show at Disney California Adventure Park.

After all these efforts, what better than a small moment of relaxation in good company? So meet Steve Rogers, better known as Captain America. But if you have decided to invest in a Marvel Signature Stay, your steps will also lead you to an exclusive meeting with Spider-Man that will welcome you in its brand new exclusive outfit inherited from its latest adventures in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Spider- Man Homecoming and Avengers: Infinity War."


And now, here are exclusive pictures of DLP announcement event yesterday at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, shot for D&M by Disney and more contributor Robert Stallard, whom i thanks a lot! You can follow Robert on his Facebook page Robert and Duffy's Adventures at Disneyland Paris HERE.







Costumes of Marvel Super-heroes Iron Man, Thor, Dr Strange, Black Panther, Star Lord and  were displayed in the event room.







































Also displayed during the event, the artwork of the upcoming Iron Man attraction coming at DLP WDS in 2019 or 2020 in the current Rock and Roller Coaster building. I can't tell you more for now about the Iron Man ride but those of you who think it will be just a quick lifting are in for a big, BIG surprise. I'll go as far as to say that the Iron Man ride will be hugely popular from day one, probably as much as Space Mountain was when it opened twenty-three years ago!






Then came the presentation of the Marvel show itself, you have the video above in this article.




Also on display ding the announcement event a selection of merchandise products which will be released for the Summer of Super-Heroes.











Thanks again to Robert and Duffy for the pictures of the announcement event!
