Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2025 Edition

[Elijah Abrams]

The note in bold is false btw. They started developing TBA well before Reimagine Tomorrow. I recommend getting over this and moving on.

Then it sounds like this was all Bob Iger and Bob Chapek’s idea related to their IP mandate.

So is the Stark Flight ride taking the place of the Avengers Quinjet thing?

I believe that Avengers: Infinity Defense is still a seperate ride, with the Stark Flight Lab also being added.

So is the Stark Flight ride taking the place of the Avengers Quinjet thing?

No, Quinjet is getting replaced with the Multiverse attraction Avengers Infinity Defense. Stark Flight Lab is a separate flat ride being built next to it

I’ll be back solo for July 4th weekend! I’m just really hoping it comes for our May trip bc we’re taking our friend who’s a first timer and it would be so cool for her to experience it with us.

Aw, I love taking first-timers! Have a blast! My mom and I are actually taking her sister and my cousin who will be visiting from abroad in mid-July. My cousin has been (though over 15 years ago!) but my aunt has never--she'll be 77 years old! I'm hoping the parade will be running by then, I'm really looking forward to it and would love to share it with them.
