The Stark Flight Lab attraction takes place in Tony Stark's workshop, where riders fly like Iron Man at the top of a automobile factory-style robotic arm during a simulated flight.

Robert Downey Jr., who will play supervillain Doctor Doom in 2026's Avengers: Doomsday, will reprise his role as Tony Stark/Iron Man for each latest Avengers Campus attractions.

The Red Car Trolley might be closed on February eighth in preparation for construction of the Avengers Infinity Defense and Stark Flight Lab attractions at DCA's Avengers Campus.

The Red Car Trolley opened in 2012 as a part of the redesign of the DCA entrance promenade with a themed motif that paid homage to Walt Disney's Nineteen Twenties Los Angeles.

DCA plans to maintain a Red Car Trolley parked on Buena Vista Street for photo ops after the attraction closes in February.
