immersed in the action from start to finish.”
This next generation of interactive thrills offers guests the
ultimate dark ride adventure when they team up with SUPERMAN,
BATMAN, WONDER WOMAN, GREEN LANTERN and THE FLASH after accepting
the challenge to outwit Lex Luthor and The Joker’s plans to destroy
the city of Metropolis. As JUSTICE LEAGUE Reserve Team members,
riders travel in sleek six-passenger custom designed, motion-based
vehicles and engage in a full-sensory battle, complete with 4D
effects of fire, cannon blasts, and explosions all while
experiencing hairpin, 360-degree turns and the world’s first-ever
virtual loop on a dark ride.
Riders use interactive laser blasters and attempt to extinguish
the 600 virtual and tangible targets featured throughout the
attraction, including a life-like villain animatronic, robotic
henchmen, helicopters, a hologram and an interactive fog screen.
The realistic features take the ride gaming experience to an
unprecedented level.
