Exclusive Marvel Nighttime Show with 500 Drones at a Disney Park

Marvel fans lucky enough to visit Disneyland Paris in the coming months will revel in the exclusive Avengers: Power the Night nighttime show.

The light show, which takes place every evening from January 28 to May 8, use 500 drones to project images of Captain America, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Hulk, Scarlet Witch, Shang-Chi and other superheroes onto the Tower of Terror in Walt Disney Studios Park. It is the French counterpart of the Hollywood studios of Disney World. The show might remind fans of Mysterio’s illusions in 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Homebut harmless.

The imagery is supported by music, lights and pyrotechnic effects that recreate the Marvel Cinematic Universe atmosphere. The show’s soundtrack will consist of iconic scores re-orchestrated at Abbey Road Studios in London.

A similar show arrived when Avengers Campus opened in Paris in July. The Marvel-themed area includes the rides Avengers Assemble: Flight Force (a new ’90s Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster theme with Aerosmith) and Spider-Man Web Adventure.

The region’s US counterpart, in Disney California Adventure, includes Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout and Web Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure rides (there’s also Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Return in Disney World’s Epcot Park). A upcoming expansion will add a multiverse-themed ride that takes you to an alternate reality where supervillain Thanos has triumphed.

The Avengers light show will be part of the finale of Disneyland Paris’ 30th anniversary celebrations. The first drone show was when the company launched its landmark festivities last April, according to AV Magazine, with the “Disney D-Light” show projecting a giant outline of Mickey Mouse’s ears looking around the main park’s Sleeping Beauty Castle. That show will return on April 12, Disney announced on Wednesday.

These shows use lightweight custom models based on Parrot BeBop 2 quadcopters, with nine RGBW LEDs providing lighting, AV Magazine noted in 2022.

Last year, the company told the Orange County Register that it was investigating the possibility of bring the drone show to US parks. Disney Springs in Florida hosted a similar show for its 2016 holiday season, but they don’t perform regularly.
