Spider-Man Will Swing Into Action Above Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure



Spider-Man will swing into action above Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure this summer, and may be as well at DLP Walt Disney Studios Avengers Campus when it will open in 2021.


Guests visiting Disney California Adventure park this summer when the Avengers Campus land will open may be able to catch a glimpse of Spider-Man himself swinging above the rooftops of Avengers Campus.

Check out this video of Spider-Man practicing some of his amazing acrobatic feats at a WDI top secret location:




Now, how would WDI Imagineers will realize this "stunt animatronic"?  If you remember well, some months ago Walt Disney Imagineering Research and Development lab created an animatronic that can swing and flip through the air like a real stunt person. That's the one that will be used, dressed with a Spider-Man costume, of course:




But Disney and more tell you more about it: as you can imagine this flying animatronic will need a hook point. And here is where it will be: remember this artwork showing the WEB atraction facade at DCA Avengers Campus?



Well, the hook point, from what i've been told, will be there - circled in yellow below.



Now, will this stunt animatronic acrobatics work fine? And what about if there is wind or rain? Well, we can bet that it won't work if weather elements are not favourable for the acrobatics but one thing is sure, if all works as envisioned it sure will be a thrill to watch Spidey flying over the Avengers Campus!
