Thor is Headed to Disneyland; First Marvel Meet-and-Greet Character at Disneyland Revealed

The Thor experience will give fans a chance to meet the character and also visit Asgard, but it's not clear right now where in the theme park the Asgard set up will be, and to what extent it will recreate the fictional realm.

Though details are scarce right now, Disney announced that tourists will be able to visit Asgard this fall and come face-to-face with the Mighty Avenger, Thor. Knowing Disney, this sounds like Disneyland is getting a temporary Thor-themed exhibit that will look like it was torn straight out of the films, complete with a Chris Hemsworth look-alike to pose for photos with your astonished and giddy children. And who says you won't be the astonished and giddy one?

However, Loki would be in Asgardian Custody and won't appear at the park. Disney communications manager Shawn Slater said, Meeting Loki would be pretty awesome! [But] I’m afraid there are no plans at this time, though, to bring Loki to the park.

Thus far, the most immersive Marvel experience at a Disney theme park was Tony Stark's Hall of Armor at Disneyland, which tied into "Iron Man 3."

"Thor: The Dark World" is due in theaters on Nov. 8.

You don't know who I am? Well sit back because my story is a beautiful tale of power and integrity, a captivating experience and ingenious story.

When I was sent to prison for a crime I didn't commit, I signed up for the weapon X program where I got some acid stuff in my eye which caused me to go blind except for whenever I shout the word, "SHAZAM." I was part of Project: Rebirth and given an indestructible shield, however I had gotten bitten by a radioactive spider which caused my father Odin to banish me from my home, only for both my parents to get shot in an alley. And to top it all off, I was exposed to gamma radiation when my mother died and I was abducted from Earth by a strange blue-skinned alien, which gave me the ability to teleport, shapeshift, read minds, and squirt milk from my nose.
