Stark Flight Lab is an upcoming flight simulator themed to Tony Stark from the Marvel Cinematic Universe at Disney California Adventure in Avengers Campus.

Development

Stark Flight Lab was first announced during the D23 fan event in August 2024, where it was described as an experience in which park guests will "sit in two-person pods and deploy to a test station" after which a robot arm will pick up the pod and whirl riders around in a simulated flight. It was also announced at the event that Robert Downey Jr. will be reprising his role as Tony Stark for the attraction. ^[2] At South by Southwest in March 2025, it was mentioned that Walt Disney Imagineering worked with dancers to help choreograph the movement of the robot arms through motion capture. ^[3]
