D23 gave Disney fans many answers, but questions remain

Disney provided numerous long-awaited answers about its theme parks on the D23 event in Anaheim on Saturday night, August 10. But that doesn't mean Disneyland fans still don't have questions.

Josh D'Amaro, Chairman of Disney Experiences, brought quite a bit to make Marvel fans completely satisfied. Along with Scott Trowbridge of Walt Disney Imagineering, he confirmed that construction on the previously announced Avengers ride at Disney California Adventure will begin next yr and that it would be named Avengers: Infinity Defense.

The attraction will feature a moving-base vehicle that battles King Thanos in a metaverse travel adventure. But the large surprise for Marvel fans at D23 was that Avengers Campus is getting one other recent attraction. Stark Flight Lab will probably be a robotic-arm attraction designed to make you’re feeling like Iron Man in flight. Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his role as Tony Stark in recorded media for each attractions after returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom.

Disney has released concept art showing the position of those two attractions on an expanded Avengers Campus, but fans still have questions on the position of the opposite two rides announced for Disney California Adventure.

The park is getting two recent boat rides, one based on Avatar and the opposite Coco, Disney's first theme park attraction based on the 2017 Pixar film. D'Amaro said construction on the Coco attraction will begin in 2026, but didn’t give a timeline for the Avatar attraction and surrounding area.

And what about Disneyland? D'Amaro revealed that the Main Street Opera House will get a Walt Disney Audio-Animatronic figure that can star in a brand new show that can alternate with Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln. But there was no announcement of World of the Ice Queen or other recent rides or areas at Disneyland. Fans are still left wondering what’s going to occur within the Toy Story parking zone and the Cast Parking Lot west of Disneyland Drive — locations that were depicted in DisneylandForward concept art as recent attractions or hotels.

As much as fans have been waiting for this yr's D23 to get all of the answers about Disneyland's future, there won’t ever be a definitive answer. Construction on the brand new Coco ride could begin in 2026, but there may even be one other D23 event this yr with one other set of announcements.

As company officials wish to remind their fans, Walt said that so long as there may be imagination left on the earth, Disneyland won’t ever be finished. The story never ends. There is at all times a giant, beautiful tomorrow, and you simply should wait until then to search out out what the subsequent one brings.
