Marvel’s The Avengers Get Interactive Aboard Disney Magic Cruise Ship
5 views - published on May 10th, 2013 in Disney News tagged Disney, disney news, disneyland, walt disney, walt disney worldSince appropriation Marvel for $4 billion in 2009, Disney hasn’t finished a lot in a interactive space – outward of a giveaway Facebook game, Marvel Avengers Alliance. But that’s about to change. And of all places, a joining of Disney, comics and interactivity will start on a journey ship. The Disney Magic, that is being retro-fitted this fall, will set journey in Oct 2013 with a initial interactive captivate featuring Marvel characters designed by Walt Disney Imagineers.
While Disney is still gripping a lot underneath wraps with a new multi-day interactive experience, Avengers Academy, it’s being designed for kids with video diversion role-playing elements built in. The knowledge will take place in a apart vast room aboard a ship’s kids space, a Oceaneer Club. The themed room will residence genuine props from a film, including Iron Man’s suit, Thor’s produce and Captain America’s shield.
“The whole room is automatic so that when a kids get scanned and they get their superpower there will be an concomitant effect,” pronounced Lysa Migliograti, comparison plan manager during Walt Disney Imagineering. “It will be a full knowledge within a whole room. This super favourite energy that they have will be building via a journey as kids sight to turn this super hero. It’s unequivocally fun since it’s an knowledge that takes place via a whole cruise. The counselors will supplement to that knowledge as they work with a kids.”
The room will underline a 103-inch guard that can be used to play movies, including The Avengers. Migliorati pronounced her group is operative on some interactive surprises that will bond these film super heroes with a kids aboard a ship. There will also be additional interactive elements for this experience, that will be disdainful to Disney Magic (for now).
Disney has focused on video games and interactivity with a dual newest journey ships, a Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. With reported costs of $1 billion each, these newest ships, that launched in 2011 and 2012, underline diversion record not even accessible on land. One of a coolest interactive elements – a Magic Play Floor – won’t be partial of a Magic makeover (which will be finished in only 6 weeks and embody a lot some-more than only a Avengers room). we like this diversion building since it allows as many as 32 kids (or 16 adults) to correlate with strange video games from cinema trimming from TRON to Lilo Stitch on 32 HD displays built into a floor. I’m anticipating a Disney Wonder retrofit subsequent year will embody one of these. The Dream and Magic any have dual of them.
Disney is bringing over some of a other video diversion elements from a newer ships. The Magic Play Tables will be partial of a redesign. These video diversion tablets offer multiplayer practice for adult to 4 players with hold shade interactivity. These strange games are all formed on Disney cinema trimming from Cars to Bolt and they’ve been designed for new titles to be combined during any time. It’d be cold to see an Avengers diversion combined to a brew opposite all a ships.
There will also be boat simulators aboard a Magic. These video games underline boat wheels for steering, several buttons and a rigging change for speed. Players can select to commander vessels like a bandit boat or a Disney journey boat by opposite interactive adventures. These are a forms of gaming practice that we can’t get during home.
Going behind to Marvel for a minute, there competence be some people wondering since we haven’t seen any Marvel characters nonetheless in Disney thesis parks. This boat is a initial formation of characters into a Disney experience, after all. Things are still pale with Marvel and Disney thesis parks since of an old, long-term chartering understanding between a comic book hulk and Universal thesis parks that includes disdainful rights for Marvel characters easterly of a Mississippi for thesis park use. Hence, a Universal Orlando Islands of Adventure thesis park, that includes attractions like The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk Coaster and Doctor Doom’s Fearfall. So that would seem to leave Walt Disney World out of a picture.
With a renovations for a Disney Wonder approaching subsequent year, I’d adore to see a Star Wars thesis as well. I’d design Marvel to enhance to a new boat as well, though Star Wars is a code new skill that could serve stretch a Disney journey knowledge from a competition. But for now The Avengers is copiousness for kids of all ages to get vehement about, generally in a wings of Iron Man 3.
