As Disney California Adventure (DCA) gears up for an exciting new phase of development, the park’s popular Red Car Trolley attraction is set to cease operations in early 2025. This closure is necessary to make way for the upcoming expansion of Avengers Campus, which will require the removal of the backstage Red Car Trolley barn.
End of an Era for the Red Car Trolley
The Red Car Trolley, a nostalgic nod to the early 20th-century Los Angeles streetcar system, has been a beloved feature of Disney California Adventure since the park’s major overhaul in 2012. Its retro charm and scenic route through Buena Vista Street and Hollywood Land have made it a favorite among guests looking to take a leisurely ride through the park. However, the trolley’s backstage barn will be removed to accommodate the Avengers Campus expansion, necessitating the end of its operation.
Disneyland officials have not yet announced the exact date when the Red Car Trolley will make its final journey, but the closure is confirmed for early 2025. Fans of the attraction may want to take one last ride before it’s permanently retired.
Avengers Campus Expansion
The expansion of Avengers Campus, which has already become a fan-favorite destination at DCA, is set to begin construction in early 2025. While details about the specific enhancements have yet to be fully disclosed, the project is part of Disney’s ongoing efforts to bring more Marvel-themed experiences to life within the park. The existing Avengers Campus, which features attractions like WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!, will soon be joined by new experiences designed to immerse guests even further in the Marvel Universe.
Looking Ahead
Disney has committed to sharing more details about the expansion and the Red Car Trolley’s final day of operation as the construction start date approaches. Until then, visitors are encouraged to enjoy the trolley while it’s still in service and to stay tuned for updates on the future of Avengers Campus.
