Avengers Campus is a Marvel-themed land at Disney Adventure World, the second park of Disneyland Paris in Marne-la-Vallée, France. Presented as a training ground created by Tony Stark to discover, recruit and train the next generation of Super Heroes, it opened on July 20, 2022, as the first Marvel-themed land in Europe and the first completed phase of the park's multi-year transformation.[1] The land remains in operation as of November 2026, now sitting alongside World of Frozen and Worlds of Pixar in the renamed park.[2]
The campus was built largely on the site of the former Backlot area. Its setting mixes older Stark Motors industrial buildings with newer Avengers facilities, and a Quinjet parked on the roof of Avengers Headquarters forms its visual centrepiece. Guests enter as recruits, and heroes appear across the land throughout the day rather than only at fixed show times.
History
Avengers Campus was the headline project of the €2 billion investment plan announced for Disneyland Paris in 2018, which set out to add three new themed areas to what was then Walt Disney Studios Park. Construction replaced the Backlot's Armageddon attraction, which was demolished to make way for a substantially larger Spider-Man building, and reworked the former Rock 'n' Roller Coaster into a Marvel coaster.[3]
The land was dedicated in a ceremony attended by Disney chief executive Bob Chapek, Disneyland Paris president Natacha Rafalski and Captain Marvel star Brie Larson, and it opened to the public on July 20, 2022, during the resort's 30th anniversary celebrations.[1] It soft-opened earlier that month, on July 9, 2022. The opening was also used to honour some 20,000 everyday heroes, including hospital staff and children and families, who were invited to be among the first to experience the land during 2022.
On March 29, 2026, the park around the campus changed identity: Walt Disney Studios Park was officially renamed Disney Adventure World with the opening of World of Frozen and Adventure Way.[4] Avengers Campus continued unchanged as one of the renamed park's principal lands, and a night-time rooftop show, Doctor Strange: Mystery of the Mystics, featuring Doctor Strange and the Scarlet Witch, had joined its entertainment line-up in 2024.[2]
Attractions
Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure is an interactive dark ride set in a former Stark Motors factory taken over by the Worldwide Engineering Brigade (W.E.B.). In the pre-show, Peter Parker demonstrates his self-replicating Spider-Bots, which promptly escape; riders then board W.E.B. Slinger vehicles and fire webs using hand movements alone, with no handheld controller, to round the bots up. Scores are tallied for each rider and vehicle. The attraction has no height requirement and is the Paris counterpart to the WEB Slingers ride in California, built at roughly twice the footprint of the Armageddon show building it replaced.[3]
Avengers Assemble: Flight Force is a high-speed indoor launched coaster in which recruits join Iron Man and Captain Marvel on a mission against an intergalactic threat, framed by Kree missiles heading for Earth. It reuses the track of the former Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, with a new pre-show built around an Iron Man Audio-Animatronic figure. Riders must be at least 1.20 metres tall.[2]
The Hero Training Center is a bookable encounter space where recruits meet Spider-Man or another Avenger, learn heroic moves and pose for a multi-frame photo souvenir. Places are released on the day through a virtual queue in the Disneyland Paris app and are limited.[2] Around the land, unannounced rooftop stunts and patrols — including The Amazing Spider-Man!, Avengers Unite and the Guardians of the Galaxy: Dance Challenge! — keep heroes including Black Panther, Black Widow and Thor in near-constant circulation.
Dining and shops
PYM Kitchen is an all-you-can-eat buffet themed to Ant-Man and the Wasp, where PYM Particle technology is the excuse for dishes served at exaggerated scales, from oversized pretzels to miniature burgers. Stark Factory is a quick-service workshop restaurant serving pizza, pasta and salad, and the 1950s-styled Super Diner serves shawarma, coffee and ice cream; two food trucks complete the offer. The land's shop, Mission Equipment, at the exit of Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure, sells hero gear and interactive Spider-Bots.[2]
