Marvel Invades Disneyland – Last Look At A Bugs Land

With the news today that a Marvel-themed land (including attractions for Spider-Man and the Avengers) will soon replace A Bug’s Land in Disney California Adventure, our comic-book-loving staff gave a collective cheer.

But the good news came with the unexpected revelation that Disney had secretly closed the land’s anchor, opening-day attraction, the immersive 4-D theater masterpiece “It’s Tough to be a Bug” on March 19!

In recent years, attractions like The Great Movie Ride, Hollywood Tower of Terror, and Maelstrom have all received extended mourning periods as Imagineers prepared to send them to the extinct-attractions club.

So when we saw that “It’s Tough to be a Bug” was gone forever without so much as a tweet, we were disappointed to say the least. We’ll never again see the attraction’s incredible ants-eye view queue, buggy theater poster parodies, and the cavernous underground theater.

Then we found out that one of our team members had visited the attraction mere days before it’s closure and took detailed photos of the attraction’s queue and interior. Little did he know, he was capturing these photos for the ages.

So without further ado, please enjoy one last look at “It’s Tough to be a Bug,” a world-class example of themed-entertainment fabrication that is now gone forever.
