It’s crazy to me that the guest reaction to Avengers Campus seems to almost have been the inverse of Galaxy’s Edge — people love the entertainment and seem to be kind of meh on the rides.

I think part of it is that Mission Breakout was its own separate addition that predated being wrapped into the land so people have a tendency to think of Avengers Campus as just what was built during the second phase. MB is also visually offensive compared to what was there previously (even though I think the ride experience is superior to that version of Tower of Terror) so even with that there’s an element of “I love the new ride but…”

By the time they’re done Avengers Campus will be the most robust land in the park with two E-tickets, two other rides, entertainment, food and yet I think it’s still going to feel weirdly… off.

Nailed it. Mission Breakout doesn't feel like part of the Avengers Campus because they barely tried to incorporate it. I'm not sure it's ever even remarked upon in any meaningful way in the overwritten internal lore. It's just this towering blight of a building caught between the husk of Hollywoodland and the rest of the campus.

But at the same time... yeah, on paper, Avengers Campus will be fairly stacked with four rides, the characters, and a popular restaurant.

and....even when completed, it's doubtful it'll measure up to the, almost ancient now, MSHI at IOA. Lots of fans have complained about Universal comic book look for Marvel, but heh, that's how it all started....and it still has a better thematic feel than the very boring antiseptic look Marvel campus at DCA.

If it was up to me I would ban all phased openings at theme parks.

It does help when I remember that even Disneyland and Epcot (two of my favorite parks) opened in phases.

Different times then to be sure.
