A thrilling new Marvel attraction is coming to Hong Kong Disneyland and Guests at D23 Expo Japan 2018 this past weekend got a sneak peek at some of the new concept art and it looks amazing. The as yet unnamed ride is based on Marvel characters Ant-Man and the Wasp.
The attraction will basically be an overlay on Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters which closed back in August. It will be using the same infrastructure and ride system but will instead be based on the Ant-Man films.
In the new attraction, guests will join Ant-Man and The Wasp to fight Arnim Zola and his army of Hydra swarm bots. This will be the second Marvel ride-through attraction experience guests can only have at Hong Kong Disneyland – including the new Iron Man Experience, already the most popular attraction – and just one part of the resort’s multi-year expansion plan through 2023, which will also include an entire Marvel-themed area.
Hong Kong Disneyland kicked off construction of the multi-year park transformation last October, and guests will soon see the first new experience open in May with the introduction of a brand new stage show in Adventureland, “Moana: A Homecoming Celebration” featuring the newest heroine from Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Construction has also begun on the transformation of the castle, which will feature a new daytime show and nighttime spectacular. The expansion will also add an all-new, immersive “Frozen”-themed area where guests will experience new attractions and entertainment, including meeting the royal sisters Elsa and Anna.
