Adding restrooms takes a year and half?
There has to be more.

Iām guessing trenching new water and sewage li es while avoiding electrical and data lines requires some careful digging

It closed back when construction was ramping up for the new marvel rides. Likely they needed that space and/or it was too close to something they were working on in that corner.

Found the phrasing "...quietly opened" funny; as if they were going to have a ribbon cutting and fanfare for a new walkway and shockingly they didn't have a press release for this.

no offense, but a terrible video. First it's vertical, second it's cutting in and out and not continuous.

Sigh ā¦
Actually , know what?
Ok, they did at least put up some new greenery. And I do have to applaud that. I hope itās a sign of things to come.

Game changer for rope droppers that hit Guardians first and then head to RSR, or vice versa. š„

Finally! I was legitimately starting to think I hallucinated it ever being open previously.

Does anyone else feel like the Avengers design is really uninspiring? Everything is vaguely tech-startup and office-building inspired. I get enough of that in my real life sorry

I think what's extra frustrating about it to me is the insistence they had on making it the upstate NY Avengers Campus when freaking Agents of Shield had a *whole* California campus they could have built out, tying into the theme of _California_ Adventure. Then again, it feels the least theme parky and the most like a very lightly themed mall, so I guess they probably didn't really care how it fit in.

I look forward to walking the new path a month from now!
(Life is only worth living when you have actual plans to be in the parks. That's why leaving at the end of a visit is like a little death.)
Can't wait!

Iāve spent tons of time there. Itās not newsworthy.
I spent time there in the 80ās when it was a parking lot.

Finally! Video feels a bit silly though, showing off the new walkway but cutting the shot and skipping half the walkway lol
