The Marvel Cinematic Universe has conquered box offices for over a decade, but not every corner of Disney’s theme parks has captured the same success. Tucked inside Disneyland Paris, a high-profile ride based on Marvel’s heroes is drawing more criticism than acclaim—and one detail has left fans particularly puzzled.
Avengers Campus, the Marvel-themed land at Disney California Adventure Park and Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris, was designed as a sprawling home base for superhero storytelling. The concept promised cinematic immersion, encounters with characters like Iron Man and Spider-Man, and rides that would keep up with Marvel’s billion-dollar reputation.
Since its debut, the land has played host to attractions including WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!. Now, expansions are in motion on both continents. In California, Avengers Campus is preparing to add Avengers: Infinity Defense, a multiversal battle against King Thanos, and Stark Flight Lab, an attraction that will see Robert Downey Jr. reprise his role as Tony Stark.
A Rough Ride for Avengers Assemble: Flight Force
For all the excitement surrounding these projects, one Paris attraction remains a sore spot among fans. Avengers Assemble: Flight Force, an indoor roller coaster modeled on the track layout of its predecessor, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, has faced ongoing criticism.
Guests praised its sleek queue, complete with a lifelike Iron Man animatronic, but the ride experience itself has been branded “rough and painful” by many. Critics argue it lacks the storytelling immersion Disney is known for, leaving it vulnerable to comparisons with other, more ambitious Marvel rides.
Lately, it’s faced criticism over a bizarre issue.
“When Flight Force opened Captain Marvel used to say ‘go left, go, go’ but now it’s been muted,” one guest wrote on Reddit. “You can still see her lips moving to say it. Does anybody know why they muted this?”
Others suggest the problem has persisted longer than casual visitors realize. “It hasn’t been playing for a very long time,” another Reddit user shared, “and it bugs me cause I can’t fathom why it’s been cut.”
Reports indicate that the sound effect may have been out of sync with the Brie Larson character’s on-screen movements, creating a jarring experience. Disney has not publicly commented, leaving fans to wonder when—or if—the character’s dialogue will return.
Park Transformations Take Priority
Fixing Flight Force may not be high on Disney’s to-do list right now. Walt Disney Studios Park is in the middle of its most ambitious transformation yet, with construction stretching across multiple new projects.
Earlier this year, the park unveiled its new World Premiere entrance area, reimagining how guests first encounter the resort. Major projects are also underway, including the World of Frozen, slated to open in 2026, as well as attractions based on Tangled and Up.
Perhaps most significantly, Disney is building an expansive lake that will host nighttime spectaculars similar to those at Disney California Adventure. Planning is also in progress for a Lion King land, anchored by a massive Pride Rock ride reminiscent of classic Disney flume-style attractions.
Until these additions take shape, Avengers Assemble: Flight Force may continue to operate with Captain Marvel remaining noticeably quiet. Fans hoping for a fix might need to wait until Disney’s attention shifts back to the ride that, for now, stands as one of the weaker entries in the Marvel theme park universe.
