We’ve known for some time that the powers that be at Disneyland (and Disney parks across the globe) were working on something Marvel Studios-themed for a new land area. It was confirmed today that the Disney’s California Adventure in Anahiem, CA park would be home to “Avengers Campus,” a fully themed experience for fans of the multi-billion-dollar franchise.
During D3, Disney revealed concept art for the expansion, including two looks at the attractions coming to Disney Paris, and Hong Kong Disney.
