Disney reveals high-flying Spider-Man animatronic stunt robot for Avengers Campus
POSTED 04 Feb 2020 . BY Tom Anstey
Avengers Campus will be home to a number of experiences when it opens in Q3, including Worldwide Engineering Brigade (WEB) – a ride where guests can sling webs alongside Spider-Man
Disney's new Spider-Man attraction, coming to Disney's California Adventure later this year, will feature a world-first, with an animatronic version of the web-slinger set to perform live-action stunts in the new Avengers Campus.
New footage shows a fully-costumed Spider-Man performing acrobatic high-flying stunts, with Disney promising that visitors would get a glimpse of him "swinging above the rooftops of Avengers Campus".
Called Stuntronics, the animatronic robot can control and alter its pose in mid-air, as well as guaranteeing the completion of sophisticated aerial stunts with precision every time.
The robot represents a significant improvement to traditional animatronics, as it can be flung from a wire 60ft (18.3m) into the air and execute acrobatics while in flight.
Typically, animatronic figures only run through a specific pre-built cycle of movements and remain in a fixed spot. However, the Stuntronics figure is different from other models, as it is significantly larger, weighing 90 pounds and assuming a human form. With a Spider-Man skin, it creates a version of the Marvel superhero as true and realistic to the character as possible.
Avengers Campus will be home to a number of experiences when it opens in Q3, including Worldwide Engineering Brigade (WEB) – a ride where guests can sling webs alongside Spider-Man.
It will also feature the Pym Test Kitchen, as well as the Avengers Headquarters, set to open in phase two, where guests will be able to board a Quinjet and fly alongside the Avengers in an adventure to Wakanda. Avengers Campus will also come later to Disneyland Paris.
