Overview
- Disney announced this week, in reports dated July 1–2, 2026, that it has picked roughly 20 attraction leaders to form a test-and-adjust crew for the Avengers Campus expansion.
- Longtime Disneyland operations veteran Mark Diwas will lead the team and will recruit and train cast members drawn from multiple park lands to become resident experts on the new attractions.
- The crew will work on-site with Walt Disney Imagineering over the coming months to test, troubleshoot, and refine Avengers Infinity Defense and Stark Flight Lab while construction continues.
- No public opening dates have been set for either attraction and some reported details such as a $60+ million budget figure and Robert Downey Jr.’s role have limited independent confirmation.
- Putting a test-and-adjust team in place both prepares daily operations like queue flow and loading procedures and serves as hands-on training that typically precedes final opening announcements.
