It’s been two years since Disney announced a new Marvel attraction at California Adventure’s Avengers Campus featuring King Thanos as the villain. Earlier this week at D23, Disney shared a look at the vehicle that guests will be riding across the multiverse in. Now, the name of the attraction has been revealed as well. It’s going to be called Avengers: Infinity Defense.
The story behind the attraction is that Tony Stark has developed new portal technology that can take riders to different worlds. But that’s also attracted the attention of King Thanos, a version of the Mad Titan who won the Infinity War in an alternate reality. Since Avengers Campus is set in alternate MCU where Thanos never snapped half the universe out of existence, the heroes don’t know what to expect from him. Unfortunately for them, King Thanos is coming to rectify that.

Avengers: Infinity Defense will bring riders along as the MCU heroes fend off King Thanos’ assaults on Asgard, Wakanda, and other familiar Marvel locations before the final showdown with the Mad Titan.
But that’s not the only Marvel theme park news out of D23. An Iron Man-themed ride, Stark Flight Lab, will be the fourth attraction at Avengers Campus. It’s a robot-arm ride that lets guests simulate flight like Iron Man himself. And none other than Robert Downey Jr. will be reprising his role as Tony Stark for the attraction. Remember, Avengers Campus is from an MCU timeline where Stark never died, so there’s no resurrection needed here.

There’s currently no time table for when these attractions will open, but construction is underway on Avengers: Infinity Defense.
