The Walt Disney Company has made some exciting announcements at the D23 Expo, revealing several new attractions and experiences that will be coming to its theme parks in the United States and around the world.

Avengers Campus Expansion

One of the biggest announcements was the expansion of Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure, which will feature two new attractions: Stark Flight Lab and Avengers Infinity Defense.

Stark Flight Lab is a flight-spinning ride that will see guests take on training trips from returning Avengers cast members Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Mackie, and Brie Larson. The ride will be part of the Stark Industries facility, where guests will be able to test out advanced flight technology.

Avengers Infinity Defense, on the other hand, is a ride that puts the fight against Thanos in the hands of park visitors. As riders enter the attraction, they will receive special mission orders from Ms. Marvel (featuring a role reprisal from Iman Vellani) and team up with Avengers and their returning actors, Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Captain America (Mackie), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and Iron Man (Downey Jr.).

Indiana Jones Attraction

In other news, the Walt Disney World resort is breaking ground on its latest attraction, Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent, which becomes the first park to involve titular star Harrison Ford as an animatronic model. Ford, who could not attend in person, sent a video explaining his excitement at being involved in the ride mechanics for the first time.

The Indiana Jones attraction will feature a high-tech Audio-Animatronics figure of Ford, which will be used in a thrilling ride experience. The attraction will also include a museum-like flowing river that will highlight Mexican and Día de Muertos culture and showcase artifacts of and music by Miguel’s great-great-grandfather Hector.

Villains Land

Disney is also developing a new destination called Villains Land, which will be a wicked side of the company’s theme parks. The attraction will feature a high-thriller roller coaster experience on Maleficent’s thorny briar mountain top, featuring “elements never attempted before on a Disney theme park attraction,” and another flume ride will feature the Evil Queen’s Magic Mirror, who might get to tell his side of the Snow White story.

Other Announcements

Other announcements made at the D23 Expo include the return of the Encanto ride, called Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto, which will feature all of the cast from the film reprising their roles. The ride will be housed in the film’s iconic Casita and will invite guests to Antonio’s Gifts Day, where he receives the power to communicate with animals.

Additionally, the Walt Disney World resort will be home to the Na’vi via an Avatar Destination, which will be announced at a later date.

Release Dates

The new attractions and experiences will be released in 2028, with the exact dates to be announced later.
