MiceChat, the same Disney Parks-centric blog who believe they've uncovered what Star Wars announcements will be made this week at D23, have uncovered similar plans for the long-rumored Marvel addiiton to Disneyland Resort.

Says MiceChat (via Slashfilm):

The plans to expand DCA again with a Marvel Land behind Tower of Terror continue to move ahead, and the E Ticket thrill ride that is planned to anchor that expansion is going to be very unique. The ride will feature a newly Imagineered hybrid ride system that might be best described as a combination of Rock N' Roller Coaster and Universal's Transformers ride using every trick and gimmick WDI can throw at it, including on-board audio and effects and elaborate sets and animatronics. With the Pumbaa parking structure moving quickly, the old toll plaza entry lanes south of DCA that are used to redirect cars from Mickey & Friends can also be utilized, creating a surprisingly large chunk of property slated for DCA's future expansion.

It's generally expected that the Star Wars expansion will be announced during D23, but Marvel isn't expected to be announced as soon. It's entirley possible that there are also some minor hold-ups concerning rights, given Universal Studios' Marvel Islands of Adventure in Florida.
