Hong Kong Disneyland Nabs First Marvel Themed Ride



Disney has announced that Hong Kong Disneyland will be the first park in the company to receive a Marvel character themed ride with the opening of the Iron Man Experience in 2016.  Expected to run the company upwards of $100 million to build, the addition to the Tomorrowland section of the park will include the Stark Expo where guests can see the Iron Man suits and other innovations.


The development will also bring a major new E-Ticket attraction to the park, also based on Iron Man, though full details are not being revealed at this time.  As described by Disney Parks Chairman Tom Staggs, "Upon entering the ride vehicle our guests will be able to take flight with Iron Man on an epic adventure that not surprisingly pits Iron Man, and our guests, against the forces of evil. This adventure will take place in the streets and skies of Hong Kong, which will make an even more unique and special experience for our Hong Kong Disneyland guests."

It sounds like the ride will be of the 4-D nature, perhaps even a comparison to Universal's Transformers ride is in order.  That's pure speculation on my part, however.  The Expo section, which will include a retail portion, sounds similar to what Disneyland did this year for the opening of the third movie in the series.

The new Iron Man attractions are set to open at Hong Kong Disneyland in late 2016, so we still have a ways to go before we get additional details.
