DISNEYLAND AND DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PAUSE CONSTRUCTION DURING COVID-19 CLOSURE

 BY GABRIELLE

Disneyland and Disney California Adventure have temporarily stopped construction during the closure of the sites amid the coronavirus outbreak, in-line with government legislation.

At Disney California Adventure, building on the Avenger Campus has been paused. The Avengers Campus, which boasts a Marvel theme, was due to open on July 18, 2020.

At Disneyland, construction of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway dark ride has also been halted. The Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway attraction was due to debut in 2022.

When the park was closed on March 14 because of the coronavirus pandemic, Disneyland commenced a number of refurbishment projects, including the renovation of King Arthur Carrousel, Snow White’s Scary Adventures and the Haunted Mansion. Renovations were also set to be carried out on the theme park’s Indiana Jones Adventure attraction.

The news of the halting of construction at the site quells plans that one comforting prospect of the temporary closure of Disneyland and Disney California Adventure is that crew would have unrestricted access to concentrate on construction and maintenance projects.
